Ha ha...looks like my tank. Furry and with lots of cyano rolling around. What DOESNT look like my tank is your incredible COLORS! Holy cow!

What do you add? Strontium...Iodine...Potassium?? What are you feeding?

Whatever it is...its working! Nice! :beer:

nice acros.
In the first ice fire pic i see turf algae. Really large turbo snails will eat that up

No, i dont add any thing except the 2-part BRS (ca & alk). sometime i splash 5ml of Mag to the tank.

Yeah, it will also bulldoze all my frags in the tank as well, lol..

Not too shabby! Question: do your zoas hurt your sps at all? If not, any comments on that? Do you use carbon?

Cheers,

Ed

I dont have any zoa growing/touching any of SPS. But as far as in the same tank, no they dont bother it at all. Yeah, i have GFO and carbon on my tank.

[mdefo25]

What size is the tank? How often and how much water do you change?

 

[sahin]

Can you post full equipment stats please? That is excellent colour change.

 

[SPSEMPIRE]

impressive! where did you get the ice fire echinata?

 

[ctxmonitor]

What kind of lighting are they under

They are under 120w of LED.

What size is the tank? How often and how much water do you change?

Its a 90g tank, and i do around 15g water change every two weeks.

Can you post full equipment stats please? That is excellent colour change.

Nothing out of the ordinary.. A I-tech 100 skimmer, 2-120w LED, Dual chamber GFO and carbon. A 2 part-doser for the BRS 2part. Two mp40 for flow in the main tank.

From a member here, for a tiny frag, lol.. Luckily it pretty hardy for me as I had brought another echinata wild colony and it just rtn on me after two months.. I learn to not buy wild colony anymore..

nothing eat the turf algae that i had and i would remove it by hand...its a slow grower but very hard to get rid of

 

[Whisperer]

Why did the echinata plug changed from round to square? Are they the same corals?

Yeah, as you saw in the previous pic, it was cover with the bryopsis alage where it will grow back as soon as i plug it out. So I had to manually remove them and put it on a new plug so it won't grow and block light to my echinata.

Bumping this thread; hopefully the tank is still running and I'd like to see updated photos and some details on progress etc. Many thanks.
