hi guys
Some updated pics
Clam corner - both are fairly large - above 3 inches
2 orange Slow growing acans from Adam
this greeny example is doing well since its been in tank for 3 months
SPS was stuck on raw plugs and put into gaps in rocks - and have now encrusted and tips are starting to grow..
Can you guess what colour it was - Green Acro - knackered now as the bloody yellow goby has nipped it to death and u can see its on way out .... its also constantly sitting on my euluphilia which is also dieing and receding where its sat
dont get yellow gobies - got a pair and this surviving one killed the smaller one off..
Not sure whats up with the cleaner - it follows me around the tank now adays
Pink Yuma newly moved with a blue acan
closeup
Pink Yuma
Fluro goni
Little git
Blastos doing well in very shaded area
dark green zoas doing well in dark recess

Looks great,
what do you use for Calcium suplementation.
Also, how long have you had that Goni? Mine is receding at a textbook rate :sad:
Do you feed it regularly and if so what with and how much?

hi there
no ca supplements for me - weekly 12% water changes with d&d salt is all i do.
The goni in question is from a another tank thats closing down soon.
Ive had that sucker 3 years now - and its getting better now as in the other tank it was squashed in a corner ...
I had a flowerpot red goni that was the same age and been sold on to a friend recently - still doing well..
I dont feed the goni's - shock horror ...

Ha,
thanks.
Do you measure calcium content?
I have been keeping mine at about 430 to promote coralline growth but would I be correct in assuming yours is sitting a bit below that and your corals are still growing.
thanks.

no dude i never did
I tend to find that weekly water changes clean the scum cause i spend a few mins before i drain the old water with a jug clearing the scum..
a weekly water change [lazy doesnt always happen with me catches it before the scum anyways ]
The ato is still my right arm - as i have a container of RO water with a tap on it that i just fill up everytime i notice the level particulaly lower...
so all manual but all organic so works ok really..

To be honest Groovy,funkngroovy said:
Ive never worried about coralline at all - in fact i dont want too much of it as i prefer more porous rocks to those covered in coralline...
Hence ive used reefplate - porous rock in the canister and for a large part of rock near the front base in the tank...
Coralline is over-rated for me however if you really want to get it grow
back when i started with first tank absoulutely swore by Purple Up - coralline supplement - that stuff will make the algae grow up the glass quick believe me ...
