The bumble bee in the bottom left from December’s sale is scary yellow/bright. I need more

Don't be scared...its just a coral man.

Thinking or creating a website, call it SBB Directory or something and compile a list of all sbb corals and anyone can go add a picture if they have to to a photo album linked to each named coral. Would be good to have for when people ask (mostly @billyocean) for photos of what some corals may look like. Could be a fun project

Anyone using kessilbwith dongle and linking the lights together. I'm trying tovadd another kessil, but group only has the existing lights and doesn't recognize the new one. The new ones turn on fine, I just can get it on the group to access the other colors

If you have to use Wifi with setting up kessil with a phone, you might have to turn on the "Location" on your phone to actually be able to program/add to group. Was getting really POed trying to set up some older AP700's one time, that never needed "Location" turned on initially, but somewhere along the way, kessil decided to make that standard for some reason, they need to know your location to make the lights work on a schedule. Total P I T A!!!

Curious to see if that solves the problem?

Colorfish 2 lower par

 

[Baby_Shark]

some potential on the far right, @Baby_Shark my guess at your SBB classified project may be one of those two

I cant confirm nor deny, but those are absolute fire!

QQ- is it kosher to reuse a frag plug cleaned in citric acid? I know it’s safe for eqp but not 100 on whether more porous frag plugs are safe after dry.

Alkalinity and Calcium of the new water close to the tank parameters?

Bruh the tank is already crashing. I used 50% IO and 50% RSCP, i did check alk, nitrate and phos this AM.

Theres not much I can do. I did 2 20% changes yesterday so that should have helped "gradually adjust" things.

Alk went up from the usual 8.5 to 9.5, I took kalk and AFR offline. My calcium was pretty high for the icp, so that will naturally be lower. Phos and nitrate were .03 and 1-5 which has been the norm. I'll check again in the AM.

Assuming tin stayed relatively the same from ICP to results, and not still being added, I should be down from 45 to about 14ish. Another 50% tmrw will get me to 7. Cupisorb and smaller changes will hopefully clean up the rest.

I'm just hoping to not see more stuff go up. It's not that bad... yet. Fortunately there wasn't any crazy outliers in the rest of the ICP, was fairly clean.

I link up with the USB cable and I connect via the dongle. I control through my iPad and location is always on. So the seller emailed kessil. If it need to be turn in, i can can it back for a full refund. Just frustrating.

I had to do this with bone cutters from the frag disk, after that i used a razor blade. I cut two frags and both are doing great But as you can see it gets really stressed out for about a week. After that it colors back up

Basically the black market under the table b0ob job method.

Haha. Ok. I was kind curious how to frag my goni without a gryphon band saw.

 

[Nate Chalk]

Time to win with my wifes hilarious take on "brown corals" and calling me out on over hyping "hg torch" lol

 

[ryshark]

Very nice. He’s already found one and they must like shrooms. Those yumas look awesome

I bought my first one ever yesterday. He hasn’t moved much since going in the tank though. When I first put him in my FoxFace thought it was food and bit off one of the 2 antennas that stick up.

 

[ryshark]

Frag to fabulous

SBB bears

Note: this was fragged from the mother not purchased that small

How do you frag goni’s? Need a bandsaw?

 

[ryshark]

How do you frag? Do you have one of those official coral band saws?

Oops, I should have kept reading
