My clown completely ignores my BTAs but it loves the old school giant rhodactis mushroom colony. They could care less what she does as they are each 5-6 times its size (and she isn’t a small clown lol)

Looking very healthy Troylee!

Episode 8 Abc GIF by The Bachelor


That was not the music I was expecting from you though :p:beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes: I figured you for more of Bob Seegar/Rolling Stones old fart type!
Thank you! It’s getting there for sure! Hopefully by the end of the year it’s filled in really nice which I believe it will be! It’s such a large tank it still looks empty ish in the video! In person there’s stuff every where, frags I should say lol.. as for the music.. haha! I listen to everything but country that irritates me :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:

Hey trolee, I love the tank! I was wondering if you grew those colonies over the year or bought them larger. If you did grow them, tell me your secrets! Sorry if this is already posted here, I didn’t want to sift through 40 pages lol.

Nice I’ve tired the concoction before. It never really stuck. I had problems with infections. Can you drop your recipe? Do you have progression photos? I would love to to compare to mine! I doubt I’ll win tho LOL

I thought you were using the Sunnyx method with bacto and diy snow!
I do! That’s exactly what I use… but I add a bunch of aminos and reef roids into the diy coral snow. I feed it twice a week.. sunny just uses diy coral snow, zeobak and a splash of mb7… sunny is the one who turned it on to me before crt was doing his thang. I haven’t tried crt’s blend as I’m happy with my own honestly. I mix up calcium carbonate and add all this good stuff to it and let it sit for 10 min and dose! I add each product according to the package directions.

If I’m not mistaken Sunny’s method consists of dosing all those products at once instead of letting it sit in a box like crt right?

I don’t Know If it’s the specific pieces but I’ve been told I have fast growth but it’s no where close to that. You run halides too? That probably has something to do with it.

Correct! I do it the same way Sunny does.. it takes me 2 min to mix it up I let it sit for 10 min and then my skimmer and return off and feed the tank.. I let it run 60-90 minutes with my mp-40’s on and then turn everything back on and watch the magic happen.

I do run halides! I love them! You’ll never see a pc rainbow grown under leds like this! LEDs don’t bring out the gold as much. My halides grow them and color them and the blues make them pop!
