Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[Why-Me]

Whenever my monti takes hits like that, his polyps close and he whitens out. He likes the slow consistent flow and big thrashes smashing his polyps every 10 seconds which is what I used to have on else mode but something happened with their positioning, not sure.

These two on master slave used to create perfect waves. the water in my tank would go up and down about an inch or two back and forth. Now it's all jittery if that makes sense.

There is also some weird like sandbed ground swell that circles around and makes some of the lower lps get a little too much flow.

I feel like I'm going nut here!

Sorry for the spam again :/ all of this is very helpful.

You'll figure it out, these things take time.

This is why I love my gyre pump and the rpms. The gyre creates a wide flat sheet of current that goes around the tank clockwise, and the rpms have an ultra wide flow pattern that mixes everything up in the middle.

I'm sure these guys can take another day of being ticked off lol. Might just sync them both on w1 with pump wave making all the way up.

Just trying to get that random action you know. Flow is so tough.

With how much I'm messing with flow, I think I might pickpick up a maxspect. Would I need two for the 65?

I have one IceCap 3k on a 36x24x24" 90g with 2 Reef Breeder RP-Ms on the back wall. If you move your OW25s to the back, youd be fine with one Gyre. Icecap just came out with the new 2K and 4K models.

Watch some video of Goni’s in the wild, I immediately went and changed my flow on mine after I saw what a huge colony looks like. Granted yours is a completely different species from a different part of the world!

100% with @Robin Haselden on lots of flow for sps and much less for the LPS. Ultimately, most of your corals will adapt to a range of conditions, just give them time to adjust once you find something you like. Also, if you get to a point where all but one or 2 corals are super happy, maybe just move those corals to a better flow spot and then don’t touch anything for the rest of time! Or at least until the colonies get so massive the flow is completely different lol

Katrina, I thought this was the best of the songs she performed.

 

[Katrina71]

any idea of type of Leapord wrasse

Mine? Lol. Robin beat me. I was gonna say ornate on first glance too.

Agreed! A cross between Judy Garland and Barbara Streisand.

 

[NY_Caveman]

I thought “most wonderful time of the year” was the wrong song for her BTW.

Gwen...uh...Madonna much?

I posted this elsewhere, but for the Katrinarinos...

I guess I'm just old, but I think she's kinda old for the outfit. Just because ya can, doesn't mean ya should.

Hippie kid got a late bday gift yesterday. I haggled for almost 2 weeks to get it.

It looks awesome with his 11 lava lamps. Lol. He really is a little me.

 

[NY_Caveman]

Lit up anew for the morning.

This is very cool, but I would NOT want to sleep with it in my room!

He was almost screaming when he opened the box. Lol. The glow is awesome. We both just giggle about it.

The trachy should be here today! I asked, and it is an Aussie. I expect dramatic pastel colors.
