pdxmonkeyboy Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 hey now.. life gets busy so hopefully i can still sneak in here. Its not like mine has blown up in the past week. anyways.. the polyps are in my frag tank that is connected to my main system. 250 gallon display, 50? gallon frag tank, 100 gallon refrugium and another 40 gallon low flow refugium. All in about 400 gallons of water. Big skimmer, chaeto, carbon and gfo, 250 watt halide over the frag tank. I have four polyps, two have been opening nicely, the other two.. not so much. and i am growing algae on the plug. lol Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClark Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Awesome thanks!! Including tank size, flow, lighting, placement of the frag, frag measurement, equipment (ie calcium reactor, dosing, etc), feeding regiment, etc. Tank Size: 100 gallon frag tank, part of 450 gallon system. Flow: Two Jebao WP60s, 1 DC 12000 (under rack) Placement: Left side of pictured frag tank, a little on the lower light periphery. Equipment: Calcium Reactor, Dosing Balling Lite Part C, Feeding Coral (None). Dual Skimmers (RO XP 3000 and RO 5000 with auto neck cleaners) Recently started using aqua vitro a few times a week though. Never do water changes... Frag: I am counting seven heads even though you cannot see them all in the picture. I think it is already growing! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure you are correct as they are due on the 20th so 7 days before and 7 days after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badxgillen Posted May 11, 2018 Author Share Posted May 11, 2018 YES, that is correct, it leaves about a two week window which should be enough for even busy people like myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Let me be the first to post the second update. I am still with only 4 but all are open and healthy appearing. Which is great since they had floated off the plug and were smashed and glued back. 😉 (4th polyp is on the side you can’t see with this view. ) I moved it to a lower light area and flow and seems to be happier there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroberts Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 This is my second post. I still have the original four polyps but they are now open and happy. They are sitting on the bottom of my tank and eventually I will try to move them up a bit and see it they do better under more light. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using my Samsung Galaxy S8 in pro mode. Turning the white balance all the way up helps get rid of the blue wash from the lights. Manual focus helps too so it doesn't focus on anything you don't want. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
