Peredhil 55 Gallon Thread

I can't wait to see the pictures!!!

 

I did not take the time to clean the glass for these shots. Acclimating 8 corals and getting everything just so was tiring enough.

I also didn't take the time to use a tripod or anything... so, better pics will come later.

Zoa's


In that shot ^ you may have noticed I cut one of my Xenia's off to not block the Zoa's light. I threw the Xenia away.







Frogspawn



Ricordia



Bird's Nest



Bloody Mary Echinophyllia



Candy Cane and Dendrophyllia




I messed with the flow to make it low for the Euphyllias. I will see how everything is tomorrow and adjust flow again probably. Not sure on the dendro how it's going to react... I have it in pretty low flow at the moment.

 

Nice!!!! I have the same bird's nest, and I'm sure the dendro is "related" to mine! It looks great! The dendro definitely likes lower water flow. Mine wouldn't open up until I put it in lower light/lower water flow. Don't be surprised if it completely closes up for a week. I was getting worried about mine. It's only done that one time, not long after I got it. It really likes to be target fed, too.

 

Nice looking corals... I love zoas!
And your frogspawn looks wicked under the actinics

 

Nice, I have some zooplankton on hand I was going to try targeting on the dendro after a few days... was going to work my way up from there.

Thanks!

 

The tank is looking awesome dude. Congrats on all the new corals!

 

I love that chalice, I like the "lumpy" ones, that frog is looking pretty cool too. Maybe its just the pic, but if you look really close at the frogspawn, it looks like it has the potential to grow into a bicolor, looks really nice!

Peredhil now has automated dosing for Alk, Ca, and Mg. Woo Hoo!










1360 Mg, 380 Ca, 11 dKH

Have it setup to raise it to

1430, 440, 12 respectively over

20, 8, 4 days respectively.

The plan is to back it off to daily dosing amounts for Ca/Alk (20ml/day) in the mentioned days. And then Mg back to monthly.

Testing all along to make sure my timing calculations are correct. Should be fun!

(I know I posted some of this in a few threads for my records, sorry about the repeats)

 

it looks great Peredhil
