you've come a long ways in 7 months.

those gray-green Palys.... you might want to trade them in

 

[fishman1234]

Gary, are you looking for some of them green polyps? I have more than I know what to do with. Let me know.

 

[fishman1234]

Gary why do you say that?

 

[chrisqueenz]

They will spread like wildfire!

 

[Randrew215]

I second that. I had a terrible time with protopalythoa. They are near-impossible to eradicate once they become established and they grow like crazy.
Way to go eliminating the cyano!

 

[fishman1234]

Hmmm I have a lime green paly too...will it do the same?

 

[fishman1234]

Green Paly under PC bulbs

GREY/Green under PC

 

[lilman024]

Looking good

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

IME the greens are fine and desirable.

Those greyish polyps are highly invasive and toxic. IMO lose 'em ASAP.

 

[fishman1234]

Do you want them? Haha.

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

no thanks
