Hmmm. Those are some amazing corals. Maybe we should setup a NPS tank as well.
Hellz yes! That's why when I need to get my coral fix...I come to Coral Theory...DUH! It consists of about 90% corals purchased from you guys. :type: Lol
I've been nagging you for the longest to do so...you could totally do a kick@$$ NPS tank with the pico on your counter...hint...hint. Get the stuff and I'll make you a feeder and some of my coral food. You guys have always had my back when I've had questions or needed help...so I don't mind. Oh and I'll take the rest of your gorgs! :sgrin: :batangel: Jk. Soon though. Don't want to do too much too soon. I want to make sure that my feeder is capable of sustaining them first.
The polyp extension on the blueberry is at 95% percent today which makes me extremely happy. Hatching some BBS to feed them tomorrow.
Oh and it is decided new tank size will definitely be a 150g...I have a 6ft long 48" deep space where my 55g planted will soon become GHOST. Need to decide footprint/custom. Too many decisions...
How did you get them to stick to the back?I have a lot to learn I am miles away from having a tank like that. Do you know of any book that goes into detail about corals like you have or any articles I should read? You seem to be doing a real good job or recreating a natural enviornment for your corals.Sorry if I ask too many questions on your thread,I want to learn a few things so when I finally start adding things to my tank I have a general Idea on whats going on.. Thanks

Honestly, the best hobby related advice that has ever been given to me was to find a system/systems that you absolutely love and emulate aspects that will work with your system/vision. Take your time, research, read, fact check multiple sources, exert the maximum amount of patience, remember that things that may work for one person's system may not work for yours and fact check some more. Every single reefer that you speak to will have a different opinion or way of doing things. Some are self-proclaimed experts and took their badges off the back of a cereal box and have nothing to show for it and other's let their tanks speak for them...those are the ones to follow. I'm not trying to be funny or a smarta$$, but what I mean by that is if they give tons of advice without even a system to show for it...then there is no proof that their info is legit. Every reefer's system has it's ups and downs...listen to the ones that are willing to share and help steer you from making those same mistakes v.s. ones that pretend to have perfection when it doesn't exist for anyone. Those are the threads that I recommend that you research and follow. I am by no means an expert I'm still learning and still have a lot to learn about this hobby...so please keep this in mind.
In regards to books there are several that are highly recommended, but the hobby is always evolving and advancing. So read them and research current methods and decide what will work best for you.
"The Conscientious Marine Aquarist" by Robert M Fenner is a good one.
Google is also your friend.
When you asked about the coral food I linked to a thread that was split into two on RC because the recipe for this food contains sugar...which is a form of carbon dosing...which is something that you should fully understand before attempting. The original recipe used in Italy also contains HGH, which is illegal here in the states so I can't utilize it. Then there is also the requirement of amino acids to maximize the efficiency of this food.
I don't recommend it for everyone. I found it, read it, researched it and spun in into something that I'm making work for my system.
Most importantly never feel any question is stupid...because after all...not asking could be detrimental to your livestock...
Good luck with your build...
