Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Added a bunch of SPS frags to that system and LPS frags to the other yesterday.
Things have been dialed in and stable for about 9 months now with slow coral additions in the SPS system since I decided to correct everything that went wrong in my crash, time to really stock it.
Happy 6 month...
Scrubbed it with a tooth brush and added an emerald crab. I still see it every so often but it’s under control. I’m contemplating getting a little fox face to help get rid of it once and for all. I think I have it in my SPS system too but it only pops up in my refugium, the fox face there loves it.
My Blotched Borbonius Anthias has finally started showing himself after about 6 months in my LPS dominant Waterbox.
He didn’t come out until I added the three yellow tangs that are destined for my grow out tub. Who knew tangs could be great dither fish??? I guess I’ll have to leave one or two...
I'm about an hour South in New Egypt. I'm trying to have a meetup at my house sometime at the end of next month/June. Check out the thread, it'll be a nice get together and we'll be swapping frags and I'll have a bunch for sale by then too. Potential meet up May/June 2026 New Egypt
Hey everyone, I was thinking of having a meet up at my house. I’ll BBQ and have beer, we can talk reefs, frag swap and check out my systems. I’m located in New Egypt maybe 5 miles from six flags.
Does Saturday or Sunday work better for people?
The last weekend of May and any weekend in June...
If your tank is healthy, they’ll take over. One of my friends/mentors up in Boston uses them as a form of nutrient export instead of cheato or other macro algae’s in a refugium.
I’ve adopted this too and it’s been working great over the past year.
Tank is looking great!
Alright, here's another update for you all:
I found a few importers who are willing to help me get the corals I need for spawning. I've never imported and acclimated wild colonies to captivity before so I put an order in the size of what I was thinking of ordering when I am ready to spawn...
Haven't updated this thread in a while but this is what I've been up to since October (big new projects):
The new project is the start of my journey into coral spawning, focused on Acropora millepora and Euphyllia species. The goal is to build a small-scale, modular spawning system that will...
I'd go with manual removal, turn the lights off for a couple of weeks since you have no corals and then slowly ramp them up again. You can always regrow coralline and it is much more resilient than people give it credit for.
My wife's condition for letting me set up the euphyllia tank was if I could get it in the basement with no help. Guess what I did while she was at work yesterday?
Decided on a scape and cemented it together this morning. I'll be throwing rubble from my display in the sump and getting it running...
