There is a lobo the size of a grapefruit there along with three giant favia that will kill anything down there.

I have never have my hands on any par netter so I don’t exactly know what the par is, but when I have acros that look like trash and lose polyps on the racks when I put them under the lights under the rocks they bounce right back. My confetti looked like trash in the beginnng. Almos lost it

Mine is up in the top right, it’s only an xr15 over my cube so it’s no where near the good par

Here’s some generic blue light pics for you guys to get you through the day. Haven’t seen my tank in a few days and I think the corals started growing a bit more since I pruned my macro, my alk and calcium had dropped .4 and calcium by 20 over a 3 day period , so bumped that up. One Walt Disney...

Wow that came out great!! You had so much fun you wouldn’t mind doing it again when I need a custom scape :)

Looking Christmasy

Most likely a goner.

I have no issue with the tank over heating, my top is open on the tank, I have a maxijet 1200 as the return pump and an mp10 and occasionally a small gyre and the tank never overheats. The room temp stays around 72 and there is an Rhein heater that turns on randomly( the heaters the original...

A lot of vendors sell them, or in my case when I purchased corals from this guy in florida he has his own and would throw a pair in each pack.

Yeah I tend to avoid sites that blackout the foreground in pictures, and I respect those that take the time to post daylight and actinic pictures.

Yea that’s got to ultimately be your decision then, that’s why I have as little technology controlling my tank as much as possible.

Keep an eye out on that filefish as well with sps overtime.

You may like them better with more blues and less whites , and things can always change as it adjusts you a higher or lower light.

Yeah the tank deff will come into it’s own just got to give it time. With bare bottom tanks it may take awhile for stability in the long run to be achieved. And as long as those super purple ones are growing, you can cut back the old brown pale parts. Just do it one by one. So cut one down to...

Happen to have a picture of your tank? In my experience of the orange monti cap is more of a hot pink color then you may be having an imbalance of nutrients that are feeding the coral with you type of light. When my tank was lacking nutrients my orange monti cap was more of a light shade of...

Depends what you plan on keeping/fish bioload and your feeding regiment. Automating a tiny water change daily of like a gallon would be nice , you have to factor in how much your parameters swing, and also the salt mix that which your replacing it with. Seething that up you add another variable...

Did you happen to see the colony pictures of which you received your frags from or personally know the owner of the original colony? Sometimes that may just be the corals natural colors.

There are some corals that are really hard to color up. For my it’s vivids rainbow delight. It grows onto a brown turd, with slight purple in the tips but it should be a heck of a bunch of other colors. While I have no issue with colors on my other corals. Some corals look better when they turn...

For me, when I view this coral under daylights it has the shine of orange and yellow, but I can’t capture the orange I see unless I trick the camera but pumping up the blue leds, and then removing it with the lense. But doesn’t matter how much I try with a phone I can’t get the orange with...

I only use a phone for my pictures and I honestly don’t have the patience to transfer the pictures to Lightroom to adjust white balance, so it’s a lot easier to throw the lense on. Obviously the picture without the lense isn’t what the tank looks like to the human eye because some optical...
