Hey E. Marc is coming down to Houston in January 6th for a seminar regarding his work.

Marc, your topdown box is freaking awesome!

Thanks,

Beautiful. they had one just like that at ultimate frags about a month ago

Lot's of nice stuff you got there James. How do you have the pink polyp cap situated (flow/light)? I have a small frag of it. Seems to do good anywhere. I just moved it to the big tank w/ strong lighting. I'm guessing I should have it mid to bottom area of tank w/ moderate flow??? What is the green w/ purple tip acro 3 pics down from the pink polyp cap? Very nice.

I passed on the Tomini, the ones the guy had were pretty big. I would like to find a smaller one and watch it grow. Did you take out your Regal? Looked up the masked swallow tail today, very nice looking fish.

Have a safe and Happy Holiday,
Chad

Hey Chad Merry Christmas! Pink cap is med flow and bottom. That's the Pink Lemonade. Invincible and Fishcraze are first on the list for a frag. It's growing pretty decent in my tank, I have it med w/ lots of flow.

Yeah, everyone likes my Tomini, but I'm getting sick of him eating too much. He grows pretty fast IMO. Yeah, my Regal just died on me this month. He was eating out of my hand one day and just died the next morning. I was really bummed. I'm waiting for a nice female Bellus to replace him. Happy holidays to you and you're family bro.

Sorry to hear that, James. That's both odd and sad at the same time. How long had you had the Regal?

 

[clownnrnd]

Sorry to hear of the Regal passing. So if Invincible is on your list for a frag I wonder where that would put me on his list for a frag of it .

Take Care Brutha,
Chad

I had him for about 3 months. I was shocked when I found him in the morning.

Chad, I'll have a frag for you in the spring bro.

Thanks,

Awesome colors James, great houskeeoing in your tank as well.

I'll have to re-read your thread to see what you are dosing to get those colors.

 

[messy1messmer]

sorry if i missed it. you are using zeosystem? LM3 is a meter switch that pulls water to help topping off. Doesnt the RK2 have a feature like that built into it.

 

[messy1messmer]

what kind of camera are you using?

 

[thor32766]

those corals looks great.

Hey thanks Cuby. I've been on the Zeovit method since day 1, but I also believe in keeping my parameters stable.
I try to keep my alk 7 - 8 Cal 420 - 440 Mg 1300+ PH 8.4 - 8.1

I got great flow and my water stays extremely stable. I've been very fortunate also by not introducing any AEFW or Monti eating nudis. (knock on wood) I treat every piece of sps/lps w/ TM coral cure.

Thanks,

James
