hey nm how hard to I have to twist your arm for a frag of that frog spawn?
You'd have to twist real dang hard...my first frogspawn died after a serious heater malfunction and this one has done great as a replacement...it has grown several new heads since I added it about 9-10 months ago and I've become very attached to it. I don't plan to even consider fragging it any time soon. But since you've asked I'll be sure to let you know if I ever do frag it!
Curious as to the bleached coralline - did you switch lighting, change calcium additive type, etc?
Good eye! The bleached coraline is primarily on my Lifereef overflows...a couple of months ago I removed them and cleaned them out(lots of algae growth blocking water flow)...during this process I lost most of the coraline covering them. But it has started to grow back. The back glass has suffered loss of coraline also....that was from the last time I emptied the display and re-arranged everything. Other than that there is not a specific reason for coraline bleaching....you should see the refugium containers....absolutely covered with the stuff. My additive system remains the same...and I'm confident that in time the areas with losses will fully recover.
Very nice reef NM!! I was going to find an empty spot on the rock and kid you about it... but .. I couldn't find one! LOL great job.
Thanks for the compliment....believe me I try to locate a bare spot each time I visit my favorite LFS and see a coral that appeals to me...but sadly there is little room for additions at this time....but there will be a larger display someday. Actually it is very pleasing to see my current corals grow and fill in the area surrounding them...but there are so many corals to consider and so many that I want...and soooooooooo little room!!
Whoohoo Can't wait til ya'll come visit. I see a lot that you could frag for me
Yup...you may need a larger display just to make room!!!!!
wow.. very nice... how about some pictures of the "guts"??
I don't have a picture of the lighting...but it consists of 4x65 watts of CSL 10k PC's & 2x110 watts of URI superactinic VHO's(for now)...the sump is a 29 gal aquarium with home made dividers a Euroreef CS6-2 skimmer and a Magdrive 1200 return pump...the refugium is a series of three 20-25 gal systems that are fed off of the sump and gravity return to the display...below is a shot of the sump ...
