Oh did those posts upset you mate, you feel free to PM me anytime for a frank discussion of anything i do that upsets you.
LOL.....
Didnt upset me in the slightest. I was clowning around trying to make a joke about how Biggles Juice could be misinterpreted....guess the smiley didnt convey that very well.
Sorry, I've got a skewed sense of humor and watching a couple of Dead Pool movie trailers didnt help much....
Carry on.

Cant wait for the movie either....If the wife doesnt want to go see it, then I'll go alone and she can watch the kids for the night.
Twisted is a good way of putting it...... "a little off" is another.

Dom's 60.5ml of bigglejuice freshly prepared in the dawn light...........
So I gotta ask, what does all that gear translate to? Starting left to right ending at the Biggle Juice, recycled Zeo dropper? How much of what makes up the juice and how many drops per gallon my Gallactic Aussie SPS Guru :beer:

Well, I have to say that the tank got a very serious make-over yesterday! I had an experienced eye come around, Darth Acro himself, and we went to work, removing some of the old, brown acro's from the tank, clearing out room and removing a couple of problems! I think overall it was a great success and I got some AMAZING frags too I have to say an absolutely huge and over the top thank you to Andrew for all his help and the drop dead gorgeous frags!!
As the day begun the canvas looked a little like this:
With lots of putty, glue and, well, a few choice words when things weren't sticking lol we worked through and did as much as we could. The scape of the tank is unchanged but it was a little bit of an acro revamp and it turned out real nice
lol and so this is what we're finished with:
Under actinic tubes
And with the halide on, please excuse the cloudiness lol:
Across the top, it's a little more fraggy now lol
Around the smaller clam got a bit of a mix up too

Now on to some of the glorious, amazing frags that I got! I honestly could not be more blown away with these babies!!
Pavona maldivensis, there was an acro glued to the dead spot haha but that was moved elsewhere!
I think this is known as the teal stag? Either way the hairiness and colour on this are pretty cool!
This one is definitely going to be a stunner!
One of the pinkest acro's I've ever seen!
The colours on this are impossible to photograph. It is literally the coolest acro I've ever seen, it is the most vibrant purple and the corallites don't even look real they glow that much! Even if that was the only thing going for it it's a pretty unbeatable piece but the real kicker on this baby is the bright orange polyps! H.O.L.Y ****! Annnnddd here's my shitty photo that does it no justice
Not a newbie but I'm FINALLY getting some actual nice blue growth on this tenuis!
Now there's going to be a big change in the way I run the tank for henceforth.. I'm no longer running zeo. As I've currently moved out and the tank is still at home, I haven't had the chance to be back there every day, especially with work. This has meant that a lot of zeo dosing has been missed and the stones are probably coming up to two or three months old now so they're doing jack! In fact all dosing of anything but Ca, Alk and Mg has ceased. The only things in the tank aside from them now are carbon and the skimmer (and the stones as I've been too lazy to pull them out lol).
The other major change I'm making will be to add a few litres of Seachem Matrix, not the carbon but the biological growth media. It's about 20x more effective than traditional live rock (averaged out) so I'm thinking a few litres of this should give the tank a good kick up the bum to get me some glowing acro's!
I've also changed one of the pure actinic bulbs to a lagoon blue and I much prefer it for the acro's, I lose some pop with the zoa's but I can deal till I get some LED strips
I'm also going to give Biggle Juice a go and see how the tank goes with that, Trace hard, Koral Colour <del>and aslo some g</del> and hopefully I get some decent results in combination with the matrix and not running zeo any more

Something mysterious is brewing on the reef...
Dont drink that stuff.
Do you want to lose your kidneys and wake up in a bathtub full of ice?
Cause that's how you lose your kidneys and wake up in a bath tub full of ice!
