December CNC SPS grow out thread.


Recommended Posts

hey gang!

well it is december now. i dont know if it necessary to post a measured picture as the frags are likely just settling in, and it is the holidaze so people are busy.

 

Couple of interesting trends:

Almost everyone is using only LEDs.

One has LED and t5

I am the only one rockin halides..(and t5 and LEd).

 

Almost everyone rated their stability a 7-8. which i thought some would say higher but it is what it is, makes me wonder just how "stable" we can achieve.

 

the average tank size is just over 100g. We have 2 or 3 people under 40 gallon.

 

Jeremy is the sole calcium reactor in the group. most are 2 part on doser. a hand doser, and one using kalk.

 

For an update, add anything you want in terms of info.

 

Also, please add how often you check alk and via what test.

 

:)

So not much to report for me. I moved my frag from my qt and glued it in place. It is pretty faded from the move and is getting around 350 par.

I test my alk daily with a hannah checker. I have added a lot of small colonies and frags in the last 3 months and they are really starting to take off. I have been increasing my cal and alk dosing about 10ml a week.

My frag is showing good color and polyp extension every day.  It seems happy in its position at the top of my rocks, about 5" below the water surface:

It has only grown about 1mm in height, but it's starting to encrust over the glue:

I also test my alk daily with a Hanna checker, and try to keep it at 8.6 dKH

Hey gang. Hope your frags are doing well. Mine has been growing quite nicely. That or the tips are just bleaching. lol

My new reefing motto has become "always expect the worst" so...

Glad to hear the frags are doing well for people - that was a nice looking colony.

The photos look worse once posted than they do on my phone.  Hope you can see enough.  I have them about 28" from

the lighting (Kessil).  I dose two part via my Apex system.  Really I try to no disturb it as much as possible and only moved 

it once from a much lower location in my tank to its current location.
