Beautiful polyp extension why I always say moderate water flow. Some have a necessary need for strong water flow but stable moderate also works

Your corals are some hungry fellas, aren't they

Now turn the pumps back on.....Meanie

I was wondering about that , during live sales too

I’ve never had the desire to keep SPS until I joined Reef2Reef. Now I wish I had thought about it longer and seen these pics. Perhaps I would have made room for beauties like these. Assuming I could succeed. Just stunning!

Get ready to get hammered by people for even suggesting that gas exchange, respiration can have a huge effect on PE. Better clear out your PM box - wait, we don't have to do that here, do we? You can watch them get super hairy even as angels or blennies are cruising around munching on them... I guess that when you gotta breathe, you gotta breathe.

This has long been a secret for vendors and others to stop all flow when photographing before posting photos of stuff for sale. For hobbyists, it just happens when we forget to turn pumps back on.

This isn’t that much different than my normal full blown flow on though.

I feel like cutting the pumps off just makes it easier to focus on polyps, vs when they're flapping in the breeze. All of the corals in my system that have excellent polyp extension I would quantify as happy. The few who don't, I definitely have concerns for.

BTW - if that is a dragon pipefish that I see, well done. Some of my favorite fish of all time.

Me too….. that’s why the flow was off. I have to target feed them bc I use interceptor every 2-3 months bc I hate pods.

Is it weird that my po4 drops, significantly, when my skimmer off for a couple days?

Just now

 

[Yodeling]

You turned those SPS into LPS!

 

[jhuntstl]

Great pics.

I'm here cause I've been creeping on @jda's profile and reading his google doc on Ns and Ps. Have talked to Charlie briefly about his thoughts on elevated po4 specifically.

I don't know what to do anymore.
