I may have missed it but do you know the name of the cyan/Light blue stag? I love the growth and the updates as the months went on for sure!!

Not sure which one you are refering to. Reply to the thread with it in it for reference.

just behind what I assume to be the slimer is a very light blue coral (Assume it’s a stag), that’s what I’m referring to. Sorry for the confusion

Yes thats my slimer. No problem, that is an old one. Surf and Turf. It is greenish blue and the tips are very blue but hard to see in the pic.

It’s so nice and doesn’t have too much green, which is what you usually see in corals is a bunch of green and reds but rarely true blues or purples!

This is another true blue stag. Its an old one also. Blue matrix.
Mine is small as I have only had it for 6 months or so.
Its right above the Oregon blue tort.
Hard to get a pic where its located.
Also under the clown

I love them! Very vibrant and may end up in my tank (Just got to get past the money I’ll probably spend on this flashing tilefish I found in my LFS).

Full tank shot today.
Looking good at 2 weeks till month 29 and counting.

Thanks! I am going let it grow as much as it can and trim when needed

My goal is to have a few of the stags reach the surface but its 12" to the surface.

 

[fishguy242]

Bigger they get,faster they grow... ;Woot

Some better pics from today.
This is using the 14K filter on the IceCap macro lens.

Finally decided to strip my 6095's on the back wall of coralline and other. First time doing a complete strip. I just clean the grid and internals every 2-3 months so it was well in need of a complete strip.
It took 2 days to disolve the mess.
Pumps have alot more power now, lol.
Here is what it looked like.
Before and after and a few other pics. After is with just the phone and no macro.
Also a pic of my slimer that has grown into this no name acro.

Just a quick pic of my 40 breeder no baffle sump today.
You can see the fuge drain going into the 7" filter sock.
Tunue 9430 dc skimmer.
Media reactor.
My modified Skimz media reactor into Carx with small drip tube.
Bashsea 10 gal res with Tunze ato.
150 watt jager heater for the winter.
Tunze 1073.040 return pump behind skimmer.
Side cabinet 3 Tunze controllers and 1 jeabo controller.
Other side 1 Tunze skimmer controller
1 jeabo ow-40 controller
1 jeabo ow-10 controller for fuge.

 

[X-37B]

New fuge pics.
Fuge is doing real well. I removed a softball size chunk of cheato today. Coralline is showing up on the sides. The ogo is quite a fast grower. Not a huge fan of the dragons as it seems to break up easily. It grows slower than the other 2.

Yep just filter sock and skimmer.
Once a month suck out detrius from bottom. I do run 3 liters of eheim substrate pro in a mesh bag in my sump. May help keep no3 low.
No3 1-2 its never been over 2.
Po4 .02-.06.
Feed pretty heavy 3-4 times a day.
I run carx and dose trace elements. Pretty basic sump.

I’m really digging the no baffles sump. I thought about doing it myself. A lot more room.

Here is an updated pic of the sump.
New carx I retrofitted out of a Skimz reactor and my upgraded Tunze 9430dc skimmer, and new lifegaurd media reactor.
I guess you could call that fine tuning, lol.

 

[fishguy242]
