Congrats sir! I think it's time for you to go with a no water change tank... The type that doesn't have 32 ppm of nitrates and 0.43 ppm of phosphates! [emoji6]

Ha ha. Children are destroying my reef tank

Yikes! Nitrate up to 32 ppm. PO4 up at a rip roaring 0.43 ppm. Yikes indeed. I haven't run any kind of reactors in two years. I may need to hop online and order a reactor and actually use all this gfo I'm hording. Not exactly going for an ULNS, but PO4 this high cannot be good

Luckily I have that special Realtor key that let me into your house so I could sneak in and take that picture.

Update on my abrotanoides acro I picked up.

November

January - 2 months later

Finally got one of my 17943 RBTAs loose and ready to sell it. It's about 3-4" across.

Can text pics of said nem plus ones of the mothers.

You always take the best pictures for your sale ads! The perfect WYSIWYG!

Thanks Ty! Trying to do a little downsizing before heading to Fiji to work the next few months.

If I'm looking the right thing, it looks like spaghetti worms maybe. I can't really tell form the video but I see long thin looking things. I also see what looks like aptasia maybe unless those are little feather dusters.

My ears were burning! PMed!

Those corals are growing gang busters, how about the new addition$?

my goodness, this thread should just be renamed "the lounge," since it.. kinda is *lol*

ty, still got some ora red planet?

Yes sir, always can frag a piece from the mother colony if you're interested and let it heal.

The acros must be part wolverine... Been healing fast! Two weeks!

Just go IKEA style on those instructions! Who needs words?!?!

Oh sweet! I had an old 92 YJ that I did all kinds of modifications to back in the day. Owned a 2005 LJ as well that I still regret selling to this day. [emoji17]

Pretty sure the left frags are the red planet frags he mentioned. The superman man monti is the center one and the 3 green acros are the right ones.

Ty got it exactly right

And that is pretty impressive from the picture (it sucks) Ty your not going to jump out of a closet and scare me are you?

Nah, I can ID an SPS frag a mile away these days... Okay, maybe 10 miles... [emoji12]

Ok let's get an id on the acros on the right?

Sorry Sascha, just bought some spectracide stump remover from Lowes. Gonna start this wknd. I test with Red Sea pro test kits, so hopefully the kits are still accurate.

Ty, so you dosed 3070 ppm of nitrate to get your tank to 4-5. Then did you just test daily till it dropped back to 0 before you dosed another 1/2 liter?

I tested daily initially and measured my nitrate consumption in the tank and then setup a dosing plan accordingly to it. I had to re-dose that amount every 5-6 days so I just dumped in 1/4 liter every 2-3 days roughly. I tested weekly at that point.

Pretty sure the left frags are the red planet frags he mentioned. The superman man monti is the center one and the 3 green acros are the right ones.

Welcome back Todd!

That looks pretty dead to me.

Had an unexplainable death this morning [emoji17] poor guy, had him for about a yr and a half. Woke up to find him lying at the bottom of the tank. He looked healthy. No signs of trauma or illness. Doesn't appear like he starved to death either. Totally bummed out

Ok, question for the experienced CaRx folks out there. I am using the reborn media and neo-mag. I mixed it in the reactor 9:1 as directed. But the water in the chamber looks really cloudy. Do you guys rinse your media before loading the reactor chamber?

Finalize the tank and spend my time just watching the tank and trimming growth.

That's a pretty sleek setup there sir! When you're ready for some acro tester pieces, hit me up!
