The Miracle Tank

[Magellan]

There has not been too much growth, as I have been slowly ramping lights up and ramping nutrients up to match the tank they are going in. Only seen polyp extension for the past week or so. Ohh and those pics are 100% blue with an orange filter over the camera. So color is more than what it actually should be. Pics tonight will be under the halides, then halides and t5s.

Any advice? I have a MH too, everything else has done well, including some easier sps (stylos, pocillapora, hydnophora, stylocoeniella) and LPS as well....but I have been so nervous for this little guy.

Stability. I have sps in all the tanks but the puffer tank. Even my little 2.5 pico lol. All tanks vary for what they sit stable at, but all are stable. I am talking 20 no3 and 1 yes 1 po4 to 1 no3 and .01 po4. All grow well, some do vary slightly in color due to nutrients and different light, but they grow lol.

edit: it does need to be noted that the high po4 and no3 tank is also 13 for alk and mainly zoas lol. All other tanks are around 9 or so.

I’m at <5 no3 and about .03 po4, those stay really consistent. My dkh stays between 7.5-8 and my Ca is 430ish (i dose reef fusion 2 part) salinity 1.026

I added some flow, up to this point I haven’t used a wavemaker, but I put one in there yesterday. Tank doesn’t seem to mind. I couldn’t think of anything else to do except keep up my routines and cross my fingers lol

My husband caulked the top left of the window yesterday. Maybe paint tomorrow.

Bless his heart. He's not one for emotion, so...it was appreciated.

As a former participant in open water swimming I think I can confidently say that you should probably buy a plane ticket instead

I have to admit I'm going to really enjoy feeding the new guys in the big tank. Feeding is one of my favorite tank times.

As requested. Here are pics of the acros mounted.

this is 12k mh and t5s. (2 coral plus and 2 blue plus. iPhone 8 with no filter or editing. They did pick up some more color and I can see growth. The last pic is the one I cannot wait to see what it will turn into. So much more colors on it in RL than the pic shows.

There are a few sps that we'd like for the Miracle.

Being as I am never careful when I move acros, you have some lol.

I also have a ton of zoas that just got cut and are healing for hippie kid. They are in the 45 with your nem. I plan to bring them to the grand opening if you will be able to take them then. If not, I can keep them until you can.

Excuse the crappy pics. It’s an almost all blue light tank lol. About need to setup another frag tank for just zoas lol. I have started using the 45 jbj that is tied into the 90 as a second zoa frag tank.

guess I need to call glass cages again lol.
