00W's AIO Smorgasbord

[*GAREEF*]

I think the green area Green Death Palys or something like that (?), Zoas are unknown - maybe a Candy Apple and a Fruit Loops, encrusters is hard to see - likely a Monti or Styloconiella, hammer is probably either a Purple Tip or Rainbow, this "thing" is a Stylophora, red Kevin is likely a Pink Birdsnest, green "thing" looks like maybe a Montipora Capricornis (plating Monti)

Capricornus I just love that word.
It makes me smile every time I say it.

@tbrown 2 new french words. Mille : thousand, fleur : flower. Don't know why it is named like this. Anyway your tank is awesome for its age.

@smitten with ocean life the tank is doing ok except the coral growth. I sent 2 ICP ( tank and rodi) to know what is happening. I am assuming the flame hawkfish bullied my flame angelfish and he past away 2 days ago (big hit on me), the midas left his condo since so I add a tomini to put him on check (shy). The tank waking up

 

[smitten with ocean life]

Sorry about your flame angel Remi. It's definitely a difficult part of the hobby.

Vis heureux, porte-toi bien.

Your tank is stunning. I hope your trend is upwards.

Oh no that sucks. What’s wrong with your corals?

No growth since the beginning. Corals open and stay alive. Only parameter not good is phosphate I will say between 0.6 and 1. It has been like this since my 1st test I am assuming rocks are leaching. I can see others tanks with high phosphate growing so I don't know if my rodi has a problem even if it is 0 tds.

@VintageReefer you are ab ebay guy. have you ever used coralstopsales?

If you are talking about this shop then, I have. Very happy with them and I think their prices are fair.

 

[kingranch2003]

You can see the encruster a little better.. lemme see if i can get a better pic... it'll be under blue lights but maybe can see the polyps or whatever you wanna call em better?

Hey I recognize some of those euphyllia! That little blue tipped hammer will be a stunner once it extends out and you get that green vs blue. I have several of those and they love snuggling with each other. Nice boost to the tank!

 

[kingranch2003]

No cyphastrea gee dang it. Gonna have to buy one or something.

Yes, I hate to feed the fire, but if you want crazy color contrast that will cover dang near ANYTHING, this is it. And the light tolerance of this coral is nice too.

To be fair, unless there's a crisis, it's pretty easy overtime. Even then most crises don't last too long.

Of course, right after this things got busy. After saying all day that they weren't going to Emergency Operations because the weather forecast didn't justify it, at 8:15 pm they decided to pay people to sleep in the education department to make sure they have staff tomorrow. I had to arrange who was going to sleep where and make sure cots, pillows, blankets etc were ready. Not too hard really but enough to keep me busy for awhile.

 

[Imrahilwjz]

Lol that was in respone to Tim's tank . I'm still 6 pages or so behind lol. I'll catch up to you eventually Wes
In the meantime...

Yeah, sorry. I completely misread the post.
