collection sounds awesome!
Some of those like the Walt Disney were bought in massive chunky frags as under branches that are taking tier sweet time to adapt to higher lights they were shaded from.

Ugh! I like to pay off my CC at the end of the month. Something like that is a "little" out of my price range.
ugh its hard to spend that much on an 1" frag. I told a friend $600-$800 I am yo girl ;) (i have no idea if my husband even would let me) haha

what par do you keep your tenuis in?
Remember what I was saying yesterday about my nutrient export? Lol. As alk is kept low to keep from burning the acro under low nutrient conditions par is only ran in the 250-300 ranges for tenuis. This also helps my lower light monti’s like my jf altered ego and beach bum.

ive considered switching salts to try a ULNS i run the opposite for now. I am wondering which, if either, are easier. Maybe two sided of the same coin? lol
