SBB- Spring Fling Blowout

[ryshark]

Is that post WC or just anyday of the week?

Thats fuzzy AF

No such thing man that is super healthy looking. I find too much flow actually reduces PE, i.e. tenuis difectly infront of an mp40. I attribute the rate of growth in my tank to flow and low indoor co2, as ive tried all kinds of stuff and had all kinds of issues but growth rate has always been solid. Flows always been solid.

That’s not post WC, those two are always like that. I agree, Tenuis will have less PE in too high of flow. What is your PH range with low CO2?

 

[ryshark]

I could. Not sure which would be better

Spray would look way better.

Seriously, thing is finally starting to throw some branches. Makes we wonder if I have too much flow.

Let it go, I have seen a lot of videos of too much flow and they certainly don't grow like that. They will grow up and block the flow, create a wall and grow the opposite direction.

Of course we don't know what all corals do but I don't see a problem, looks happy

Spray always look better for furniture. Harbor frieght $20 spray gun can make amateur work look pro. Dilute with water.

Maybe.......till a pro looks at it

Im seeing about 8.2-8.6, it sits at 8.4 from about 9-10am through 3pm and breaks past 8.5 till about 8pm.

I run a recirc scrubber as well but i have a super undersized skimmer. I havent changed the media in a month. Ill do that today. I think my overall avg has increased from more kalk demand AND consumption.

The diff of sub 600 co2 and ~1000ppm is about .15-.2pH across the range.

Maybe.......till a pro looks at it

No question, but still comparable to off the shelf home depot/lowes cabinetry, and significantly better than amateur brushed.

Another note, i keep doing reading on old R2R posts depending on the topic and almost always stumble on your posts. Appreciate your contributions over the years.

Anyone else see this. It looks like a lift pump on timer and bubbler fulltime. Put a mini fridge on it and put mysis shrimp call it day for seahorses. Thoughts?
