Rob.D · Apr 4, 2013

I have updated the club polyp list (first page-first post).

All polyps that are checked out are due back this month. A big thank you to all that are actively participating in the club library.

I hope to get a few new polyps for the library from both the Nashville swap and our swap.

Please feel free to post a suggested purchase in this thread: https://www.reef2reef.com/forums/east-tennessee-reef-club/92508-etrc-library-wish-list.html

I still have a blue hornet. Its gotten a little bigger but no baby yet. Isn't there a way to extend checkout time in an event like this? I have gotten a little puff of hair algae around it so im gonna have to use tweezers to pluck it off. Thanks Rob...I know its not easy to keep up with all this stuff.

Not a problem, we do not have a waiting list on the Blue Hornets. Give us an update before the April meeting and we can take it from there.

I would like to request a CAR if it is not already wait-listed to another member. Thank you.

I will be returning the Blue hornet this week. There are two full sized and one small polyp on it. I would like to know if there will be a SC Utter Chaos or Red Hornet available? If so I would like to try one of them when I return the blue hornet.

i have the utter chaos, as well as a non club mini colony of blue hornets. zoas grow wild in my tank for some reason, engloid you are welcome to try and grow it out in my tank, i've seen incredible growth from all my zoos (atleast two full sized polyps per month sometimes more) I think rob can attest to this.

im figuring if I cant get another polyp in the month I will just give it back and give up on them till I buy some or something. Thanks for offering. What are your water parameters?

CoryC · Apr 6, 2013

0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 10or less nitrate, need to test phosphate. calc 420, mg 1300+, i skim heavy and do weekly water changes. i supplement KZ coral snow and amino acid. i feed prawn roe and a powdered food a couple times a week and mysis every other day

Rob.D · Apr 6, 2013

Cory, I think it's safe to assume your phos is super low due to the fact that your display is void of any nuisance algae.

Ole Man · Apr 6, 2013

Was looking for the picture of the Captain Americas but didnt see it ?

Ole Man · Apr 6, 2013

TX me Rob and i'll pick it up at your convience,also was looking for the picture of the captain americas ?

CoryC · Apr 7, 2013

Yeah I tested yesterday with the Hannah Checker and read all zeros. Salifert kit stayed clear. Actually kinda worries me so I cut off the gfo and started feeding daily again to see if I can get some phosphate as I likely need some for better growth. Maybe running just boo pellets will keep nitrate down an phosphate up.
