  1. I'll copy/paste some of my stuff from Nano-Reef... Pictures, plans, equipment, and whatnot.

     

     

     

    Um, I may be new to the PNW, but I know that Renton, WA is not in Oregon.

     

    :P

    We'll try to not hold it against you for living in Washington! Don't change your licenses plates b/c as soon as you do, you'll become a 5hitty driver! Welcome!!!

  2. Just a weird angle, i have a corner tank and the lights just turned on, so it looks kinda strange. That [language filter] angel has been fine up until now. I have increased my feeding, hoping to satisfy that SOB but we'll see. I have a new LED system and i am currently still ramping it up and only running at 60% right now. My SPS that are directly under the light are growing well at the current setting and am concerned that i might fry that Acan (IDK) and that is why they are off to the side.

  3. I'm sitting at 5 polys with two of them being babies! Thanx to MrBret, or i might of lost this frag d/t some chemical warfare that was going on in my tank. My frag has certainly changed over the last 1.5 months.

    Now

     

    The new polyps have a lot of green in them for which the original didn't seem to. The Mother also has more blueish on the outer ring and the red has become less of the main color. Certainly is nicer then first in my tank.

  4. I have also notice my pH becoming more "normal" with opening up my house d/t having fresh air circulating and removing my acrylic top and using mess to help ventilate it. Never used to be able to get it to 8.3, was constantly below 8.0, but it peaks there daily. Mine swings from low in early AM of 8.15 to 8.35 at around 5pm. I do notice my BTA not liking the pH when it was around 7.9ish.

  5. Leathers can be very toxic. Some large mushrooms can release chemicals when under stress or next to another coral that they are fighting for space. It happens all the time in a tank, but mainly just local stinging. In the ocean no biggie, someone wins, in a closed environment no way to get rid of toxin other then a water changes, a great skimmer running wet and/or activated charcoal!

    Chemical warfare?
