Najer's zen twins.

[Raege]

I popped back to my lfs earlier, the manager ribbed me about my kh monitoring yesterday so I took water in.
I took the sample before morning dosing.
The tank gets a splash of liquid alk each morning, a splash of calcium 3 or 4 times a week and a splash of all elements when I remember.
I manually top up twice a day with ro.

Alk - 8.3
Cal - 420
Mag - 350

Go me.

Simon I was smiling ear to ear my friend. Tank gets a “splash” of this and a “splash” of this reminded of a master chef with a pinch of this and a dash of that. Chef knows by taste and exp. and you by your exp with watching and knowing your tank and how she behaves. I know you g
have pulled out a test kit from time to time but you as Crabby said have a gift a learned connection with your slice of ocean.
Thanks for sharing jaw hits the floor so much awesomeness to see in your tanks

Thank you for the very kind words I would never suggest that anyone runs a tank like I do unless they grasp the point.
Most pics are of the display, that is less than 50% of the actual water volume, big natural nutrient export and I feed heavily.
Within reason, if they say I can't do it I will try, I have a plump venustus angel that are apparently hard to feed and acros growing well, I am a very lazy reefer and designed the tank to fit easier, more natural!

The amount of life and how natural amazes me. Definitely my favorite system.

Thank you very much.
I love the tanks I follow and watching them develop, downs and ups and learning.
I was chatting to a mate at the lfs yesterday, he was picking up a trio of baby cherubs, his tank is different to mine but not "clean", the cherubs will graze naturally in his tank, he has sponge and algae and a great pod population and he feeds heavy.

The twins are just 4 years old, maturing well.

I wish I could send you a piece, frags waking up!

 

[najer]

Nearly.

 

[NY_Caveman]

Awe, the leathers hugging.

 

[Katrina71]

Nearly.

Hello beautiful baby! She still melts my heart.

This gets in lots of pics but I rarely take pics of it, still colouring up well.

 

[najer]

Not an emergency so trying to keep my hand out, I will glue that closed tomorrow, hate vermitids.

Thoughts please, I have 2 colonies, slightly different colours, both have been doing plate sections.
Pic two would be a candidate around an inch.
They are paper thin on the edges, if I grabbed it right at the base do you recon it would snap off in one piece?

Well it might, but then again it might shatter into a thousand pieces!

Take a before and after when you do it.......

It turns out that the auto focus on my 90 mm macro is now working again, now I need to practice.

 

[RichtheReefer21]

Thanks all, I generally target one coral and take a few pics, now I should be able to target a fish!

 

[najer]
