    Question about U-tube overflows

    in New to the Hobby

    Bob-YBenormal hit every point, I just want to add, that sometimes the bubble on the U tube is due to low pressure flow, or mis-alignment of the ini-the-tank collection box. You can start by leveling the in-the-tank box to minimize or eliminate the bubbles, and if that does not work, then I suggest either lowering the box or getting a more powerful return pump so your pressure flow increases. just my 2

    Jacob,

    Can you take a picture from a different angle?

    Hard to see from this one, looks like Blue Popcorn

     

    Looks like the Acropora batunai?

    I tried but I keep getting blurie images. It is best if you come and see it in person. LMK

    Lighting question

    it is a matter of opinions.

    you do not need the actinics for growth, but they do assist on the dust & dawn cycle, providing the blue color of the skies. others will say, yes it is necessary.. but again it is a matter of opinions. The tank do looks nicer when the MH are off and the Actinic are on, gives you the sense of serenity when daylight life is about to go to sleep or wake up....

    Beautiful coral, but not an Acropora jacquelineae. Check the whelk/aims coralsearch (from the Australian Government) link below:

    Add me to the frag list........

    Thanks Rik, I went to that web site and that's what prompted this post. There are so many other Acro SPS that look much more than this rather than the Jacquelineae SPS. I put a list together and sent it to few WAMAS to compare, but I forgot to keep a copy of it. I will do a new research and post again with possible options.

    thanks for the input. I have mine about 1/3 off the surface under 250W MH 10K USHIO, and I can see polyps extended. I keep it there next to the ORA Blue Tort I got from BRK few month ago for comparison on behavior and feeding schedules.

    I look all over the internet for reference and information, but can't get an exact match of a comparable picture. I want to know the flow requirements, habits, feeding likes and so forth. Anyone out there in WAMAS has something similar ?

     

     

    Story behind the coral;

    Ok, I go into BRK (three weeks ago) and see this beautiful coral standing on the edge of an egg crate. I ask Johnny, what type of coral is that.. and he say. "It is a Jacquelineae SPS coral, and is not cheap". I love it so I brought it home and took two pictures, here they are. By the way, I am no photographer so what the camera did is what picture I got, no tricks or alterations on this picture. The first picture is without a flash, the second I used a flash.

    sorry, I did not ment to omit Cozumel, Playa Carmen, Mallas beach, and other exquisite places in Mexico, there are some nice places there too, I just have not been there yet. On another note, my favorite places are Puerto Rico and Grand Cayman, but they are both expensive, although interesting and full of night life.

    Frozen Food and/or DT group order?

    in General Discussion

    Dave

    once in a while WAMAS members put group buys together on mysis shrimps, cyclopeez and other frozen foods. You may want to wait a little and see if this happens again, it usually does once or twice a year.

     

    Or, you can visit BRK and F&F, they both have these frozen foods ready available at reasonable prices.
