jhOU March 4, 2022 Author Share March 4, 2022 Amazing tank! Hopefully all the other colonies are good now, sucks seeing such a huge colony die. BTW, what is that giant purple/blue staghorn on the left and are you planning on fragging any time soon Corals are good, now just fish issues lol. Shortcake was the only casualty, everything else was fine. The blue stag is just a “blue stag” ha… I do have some frags, shoot me a pmSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roni March 6, 2022 Share March 6, 2022 Sorry about the fish issues. If you need, I should be able to frag off some shortcake for you in a couple months, assuming things continue to slowly grow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhOU March 28, 2022 Author Share March 28, 2022 (edited) when you procrastinate trimming, sometimes the corals won’t wait! Mr Pac-man colony is massive and grew from a single branch that supported the entire colony. It was comically top-heavy, and finally gave way this morning.

YHSublime March 29, 2022 Share March 29, 2022 LoL, it’s so funny you have to laugh! Did you put it back with more support? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hacked it up a bit and placed it back in the same spot… not much more support, still precarious placement balancing on what remains of the monti. Any little space I had left is now filled with pieces of pac man lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhOU May 7, 2022 Author Share May 7, 2022 (edited) Not a whole lot to update lately, tank has just been rocking steady. Just keeping up with refilling dosing containers and weekly water changes. Getting the urge to start fiddling… debating experimenting with carbon dosing. I’ve had more success running nutrients on the higher side, but they continue trending upwards (currently ~.25Po4 20-30No3). Corals looks great and no algae, just want to pause nutrients creeping up much more Edited May 7, 2022 by jhOU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roni May 9, 2022 Share May 9, 2022 hard to say you shouldn't fiddle with things but ultimately, the color and growth speak for themselves. I wouldn't mess too much with a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howaboutme May 9, 2022 Share May 9, 2022 Looks great! How are you running your nutrients high? Are you dosing NO3 or PO4 or do you just let your tank maturate naturally and this is where it ends up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what "maturate" means but "mature" is a bitter word there. I couldn't edit it in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YHSublime May 21, 2022 Share May 21, 2022 Absolutely tops. It feels precarious, just so much stuff over an open sump area. I know it’s not, but it’s a great contrast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowsingle May 22, 2022 Share May 22, 2022 Sad to see the shortcake not make it, that was one of the prettiest colonies of it that I had ever seen. How do you get your firecracker so bright? Yours looks better than mine…. Darren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
