Where is the purple mike?

Where is the purple mike?

in the 300, just starting to take off. I will be moving this (red/orange) to the 300 in a couple weeks. The 300 is starting to eat two part so pretty sure it's going to go crazy in there.

Nitr8 tank is looking great since the last time I was over.

Mike that red cap is out of control, but it looks to be growing the way you want it. Mine just wants to grow up rather than out. So now I only see the bottom of the montis. :/ When I move everything to the 300 they're going damn near on the sand bed. Lol

 

[bigzman]

Not much but trying

Z, How's the recovery going?

 

[bigzman]

Cuzza the recovery is going very slow. Not running any media (GAC/GFO/Poly) and all has been well for a almost 2 weeks. Have my fingers crossed that I finally got back to normal.

After a brief swing in alkalinity due to ridiculous salt mix manufacturers, I have observed white growth tips returning to all of my sps. This stylophora is growing in the perfect tree structure, despite using just LEDs which result in a lot of shading.

For my next tank I intend on taking a picture of every coral that goes in the display and tracking each ones progress. Without the before picture, it's easy to forget and hard to appreciate the growth you achieve on these guys.

Super happy to read this Z. Your tank is one of the most amazing I have seen so far and I know we all need it to bounce back. Good luck and keep it up.

That growth is incredible for being just under a years time frame...once I get these reactors and kalk dialed in I'll be on the hunt for some frags :thumbsup:

 

[CuzzA]

Thanks man. Not bad considering the growth has been from water changes and dripping kalk. I expect the next tank to have even better growth with the addition of a daily auto water changer, auto artemia feeder, ca rx and t5's.

 

[Clownfish221]

Wow Man Nitr8's Tank is inspiring... its so pretty keep it up dude your tank is amazing.!!

 

[snake1]

I love to go back thanks for the reminder cuzza... here are some shots of my purple stylo these pics are from the day I got the frag to today 1 1/2 years later ...the purple stylo in the first pic is the coral on the left the one on the right is a finger leather that I got rid of..and the side shot of my tank is a year old shot this month, the tank really exploded this year ..I really like the side shot it shows a lot of growth....

 

[Clownfish221]

Wow Nitr8's tank is amazing looks great dude keep it up!!

 

[CuzzA]

Looking great snake1. Side shots always look great, especially the depth. I'll get some better shots of the tank once everything has fully recovered. I still have a few corals that are just about healed up from burnt tips. Red Sea Coral Pro mixed up at 14 dKH :\

 

[CuzzA]

One interesting note from the picture is I placed the aculeus acro next to the stylophora and you can see how the coral on that side curved and is growing away from it. Even though there's plenty of space between the two. So much we have to learn.
