Optimusprime3605 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Still unconfirmed on what the name may be, but it is between BRC Space Chaos and LC Rorschach. Whatever the name turns out to be, I like it, nonetheless... Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CuttleFishandCoral Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 It’s funny these were sitting in my shop grown from a few polyps. Got them in a few years ago. Nobody cared for them till I sold a mini colony to lengadary corals. Then I sold a colony to Kevin. They are sweet. Gotta love putting a name on it. Nobody would buy them from me when I was asking $5 a polyp. Now they run $200. Crazy world. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LC is selling them for $200pp and if they are the same as Space Chaos from Big R Corals, expect to pay $400. Frickin nutz!

Optimusprime3605 Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 @CuttlefishandCoralsI first saw the colony you had when we had a meeting at your shop. I wanted to buy them, but you were obviously, too busy at the time but no worries, I got'em now.

Sent while trying to get my next coral fix.....You know, if you are not into high-end lights, which I'm definitely not, I'd pick up some sboxes that people are getting rid of bcuz of LEDs burning out and replace the board with sbreeflights board. I'm sure you've seen them advertise on fb. If not, go to their website. They customized the spectrum of their boards for mainly sps and holy sh!t, they ain't bullsh!tin'. My sps grow like mad and my zoas are loving it, as well. Replacement boards cost $69 or $79, not bad at all. Buy a couple used, throw away sboxes for dirt cheap, replace the boards and voila...badazz lights. Again, this is my opinion. Or spend tons of money on kessil this and/or radion that. I have nothing against the high end expensive brands and I'm positive, they grow amazing corals, as well. But, if I can grow corals with $100 sboxes, why would I spend $800 on a gen4 that does the same thing? If I had deep pockets, maybe, just bcuz I can and to show off, but I ain't like that....Again, this is all my opinion and my opinion only. I have nothing against any other lights, I just like to keep it real.As they say, proof is in the pudding. I love my pudding!HTH bro!

Optimusprime3605 Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 Wow thats some serious calcium [emoji39][emoji6]You ain't lying! Been trying to get it down to 1440 or so but haven't been able to without messing things up. Been like that for close to 9 or so months now. My Alk was above 11 at one point, but I was able to get that down to 8. So far, sps still grow like mad and my zoas are finally, for the last several months, are enjoying some nitrates at 10ppm. Trying to hit 20ppm for all corals to enjoy... Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still somewhat high but at least feasible. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
