[Trixter227]

How is everyone's sunday? Anything to share?... i go first lol!
Still no polyp extension :,) i have hope as all the others next to it, and a around tank are bright and happy. No color loss, it also slimes up when i feed so i assume good sign?

 

[Battlecorals]

The laser can have pretty small polyps even at their shaggiest. For what it’s worth You may have to look real close to see them.

Oooh trust me im looking. Gotta get the big lens out lol

Nah, my growth tend to be slower since I run a higher nutrient system. I just like to join for fun

and usually happy if it doesn't die ....

I am in the Rainbows Army growout.
Adam sent me a space lazer frag with my pack.
I am not in the growout but will post pics for a year just for fun.
Here it is next to my rainbow armys.

If you got the SICC pack, you're entered into both. Welcome to both!

Not sure as Adam replaced my rainbow and I bought a 4 pack and he threw in a few extra. One was the space lazer.
Going to be fun either way!

Oh, I was totally joking. I hope you do well & actually win this thing! Keep your Mg at 1450, Ca at 450, and Alk at 8.5, lights bright, algae low, & you will do awesome! Good luck

Received Thursday 3/2

Po4 ≈ .1ppm
No3 ≈ 5ppm

 

[Ghostbuster]

Okay, where’s Adam’s entry into our contest?? @Battlecorals. Haha. If you enter, could you glue your Space Laser frag sideways/flat on its plug. I was thinking of doing this myself because acro frags seem to get better growth.

 

[Sizzlingreef14]

And here we go! Frag came in on 2/28/23. Growing this in my 40B satellite tank off my 220g grow out. Under a Neptune sky with attached schedule. Big water change so ORP is a touch low but usually 300-320. Running all for reef, kalk, no pox, ozone, carbon, gfo, 2 part as needed, strontium, 40 watt UV,
and co2 scrubber. Coral growth with red sea’s AB+ most every night with .070 Po3 26.7 No4. Also for you viewing pleasure a ICP with some high levels of tin.
