How "clean" did these come in?Gulf Coast Ecosystems www.live-plants.com
I actually just order some gorgs from KPaquatics... which seem to be equivalent in reviews because they were out of stock. I got some sponges as well ( grow out in the fuge, then feed to my angel and moorish). I got the sponge for the moorish for better long term survival.Highly recommend, I have ordered from them many times over the years.
Macro algae has always been clean, no pests included, very full bags.
They don't house fish in their systems, to my knowledge, so I have never worried about velvet/ich/other pests.
I bought 2 gorgs from them, both doubled in size...my fav is the purple frilly. I see they are out of stock on many gorgs. They are quick to respond to email questions about inventory.
No i haven't got a pearly from them yet... I have the one and will get more after my vacation to set up quaratineI do like KP, quality products and nice folks to work with. Did you get your pearly from them?
He was definitely attracted to fleshy open brain type corals, so I sumped the 2 I had. To date, he doesn’t bother sps, palys, zoas, torches, leathers, gsp...Has General Tso bothered any corals?
I had one in a FOWLR years ago but afraid of expensive LPS meals in a reef.
Love the female Bellus, I’ve had a few over the years.
I only have a purple/blue tip torch, nothing fancy. Regarding an Emperor, I have an approximate 7-8” Australomussa coral that would probably be too tempting. I’ll likely setup a large FOWLR as some point, theres a lot of those non-reef safe fish that I like and miss.He was definitely attracted to fleshy open brain type corals, so I sumped the 2 I had.

I got him when he was tiny, and feed 5x day. Hoping with those factors he leaves the corals alone.
@Eggs no Bellus for you at the moment?
My first 2 from LA died within a few days of delivery. This one is from DD.
What torches do you have? Our daughters are living in Port St Lucie a couple more weeks...
Pretty Bellus getting streamers.
McCullochi female Rescue tang doing great!
Atlantic blue, bad personality and dud color (except blue outline)...why didn’t I pass on this guy when it was a cute juvi? General Tso, still a favorite.
Piggy, curious and love to hear him bark at me when I’m vacuuming his cave.
I copied the configuration from a sticky thread here somewhere. I believe the defer 10 on, then defer 4 off was so pump didn't run too long at 1 time...kinda like the DOS shouldn't run continuously.I am a little confused with the Defer 10 min on then defer 4min then off ?
I don't think anything can beat the manual python method for cleaning the sand. Your 5 pearlys aren't moving enough around for you?Little update on changes since adding a gfo reactor:
-phosphates have dropped to barely .01
-skimmer production is way up
-DT sand getting fine layer of algae/ tinges of lite green
Adjustments:
-turned on DOS that adds trisodium phosphate, 10ml
-ordered next size bigger Lifereef skimmer, going external baby!
-I need sand critters...maybe sand sifting starfish? what other inverts?
Yes, it is past midnight. Woke up thinking about algae presence on the sand. Does anyone else do this?
I agree about vacuuming sand is best.I don't think anything can beat the manual python method for cleaning the sand. Your 5 pearlys aren't moving enough around for you?
