The Garden -- Rakies shallow SPS cube

[Rakie]

Updated pic of my BMF bounce -- She's on a 4" tile, and just turned my frag tank to a low flow tank just for her.. She's over 4" totally opened up.

New unreleased vendor shroom -- Will eventually have a name I'm guessing

Also picked up an OG Black Hole Sun acan.. Surprisingly good week.

I'd be tempted to call that 'shroom "Starry Night", after the Van Gogh painting. Cool 'shroom!

Traded some coral and picked up a pair of these Eclectus.. This is the momma, the two I got are literally too small to photograph, but they are natural splits from the momma so I'm cool with it, LOL.

Momma, an accurate representation of the pin-head sized nubs I got;

That’s a stunning coral and photograph, the colour is amazing!

Yeah, that's not my photo sadly. Also, sadly, both of the shrooms I got could fit on my pinky nail lol. Otherwise i wouldn't be able to show 'em at all.

I'm a sucker for baby mushrooms. Clearly yours have an uppercrust lineage, but the tiny ones get me every time!

 

[najer]

As above, I love baby shrooms, hope they go well for you!

 

[Rakie]

So far they're happy! Looking microscopic, but happy!

When a 2" eclectus goes for $2500, you can bet $400 babies are the size of like, a bullet point in size 12 font. Ask how I know -_-

 

[Katrina71]

Please do not show the babies. I will HAVE to get one!

 

[Rakie]

I will try my best to get a picture of them. They are SO small you guys will think i'm legit crazy.

 

[Katrina71]

No, I'll be legit jealous. I have a pinky sized plate Coral right now too.

So added a Tunze 6040 pump to the tank, it really fills the void I wasn't getting from two pumps alone. Really liking it. It's so effective just by adding that third pump, I've had to dial my pumps back from 100% to 75%. Overall, I'm using less flow than I was just an hour ago, but that third pump just made flow get where it couldn't before. Love it. Fish are all happily swimming around.

I don't care what anybody says, fish love flow too lol

 

[gcarroll]

Very nice Tim!!!

To monitor growth

Doesn't look like the momma yet... it will someday.

I don't like bare bottom. It's impossible to keep nutrients. I'm dosing nitrates and phosphates like crazy. Can't get no3 above 5, can't get po4 to read above .01 -- This is the opposite of how I like to run my tank.

I figure it’s far easier to add nutrients than subtract. Dosing phosphate and nitrate is just feeding the tank to me - imo easier to know what you are adding (dosing) rather than guessing what you are adding (random foods) and then having a variety of export methods.
