The Garden -- Rakies shallow SPS cube

[chefjpaul]

I absolutely loathe talking to 99% of people on this forum, and interacting in almost any of the threads. Everything has to be an argument, someone asks for help, or to clarify how I do something, and suddenly I have several people starting an argument with me or bothering me to clarify something. Which I want no part of doing.

I don't ever want to argue with anybody about anything, it's exhausting. I just want to say my peace and leave it at that.

I'm not here to be tagged in threads, only to be annoyed when I try to help
I'm not here to tell you how you should be doing things
I'm not here to defend how I do things
I'm not here to argue
I'm not here to debate
I'm not here to deal with people

I'm here to have a build thread. No more. No less.

How about people who fling hugs?

That's typically @Katrina71

Rakie, sorry about the heat wave. I'm sure you'll have everything back to the usual drool worthy in no time!

 

[najer]

I'm not exactly squeaky clean with r2r cops either!

Well the bonsai structure just shipped today so it should be here in a week or so!

Also my other 10 or whatever corals will be here tomorrow too.

That's how I do things. .... cart before the horse! Looking forward to the new coral tree!

The bonsai structure was supposed to be here last week, but after a month my corals had to ship.

This guy didn't survive shipping. He was roughed up a good bit, but around evening yesterday it started stn'ing.

Goodbye TGC Cherry Bomb, we hardly knew ye!

 

[SneakyTortuga]

I’m sure you’ll have another cherry bomb in your future

"MARINE ORNAMENTS".

Also, you don't want their SPS, they want our indo SPS -- We want their croc island scolly and high end acans. Aussielandia is the home of quality LPS, although they'd have you believe otherwise

Yourreef sold a Landia in the live sale. I saw it go.

Second batch of SPS showed up today. Here's some quick pics of them in the tank.

They're all healthy and colorful, ordered these from @therman

Next order of business... getting the bonsai structure in the mail so I can place some corals.

I know it’s somewhere in here but I got tired of leafing through pages. What lights are you running and what par? I know you started with a ati 6 bulb fixture but can’t remember if you changed along the way

Radion XR30 G4, and AquaticLife Hybrid 4 bulb with Upgraded Ballast.

I'm running the radion with a diffuser, at 16k spectrum (more whites, greens, and reds than AB+) and intensity is at 100%. I have a 14 hour photoperiod with the T5 on for 7.5 of those hours at peak.

I don't test par, but I think the more light the better.

Sweet man. That's what I was doing all day too. Sweet haul. I might be more excited about the bonsai than you.

As much as I enjoy the new frags I'm way more excited for the bonsai structure, it'll make the tank look like a tank again lol.

How heavy is the structure? Is there any concern tht high flow will make it move
