Rocketman's New Dual 175g Bullnose Build Thread

That is great growth for 2 months Darren! What do you attribute it to?

 

Keeping stable parameters so the coral can settle in and having strong calcium and alk.

 

That makes sense. Stable sure wasn't in my vocabulary until I got a doser. But my tank is much, much smaller than yours!
Love that growth shot... keep them coming!

 

love the spongodes rocketman.. I've got a little frag of it myself, its a very unique looking coral. I can't wait till mine is that big!

 

Unfortunately I'm in the process of losing mine and I have no idea why

 

Mine was turning white as well, but I know that's bc it was getting stung by a bubble tip nem. Is anything around it that may be affecting it?

 

Can we get an updated FTS of both tanks Rocket? Interested in seeing the growth from when it began.

 

I'll post some pics today. The most growth continues to come from the red cap that you can't really see without a ladder! It also has completely shaded an encrusting monti. I ended up buying a separate LED fixture to shine in at an angle to provide light to the monti.

In other news:

- I lost my Spongodes, which is a bummer. No idea why since it had been growing well.

- I also lost my hair algae, which had been, literally, a growing problem. A small investment in some additional hermits and Mexican turbos solved that one.

- I am a week and a half away from installing my auto-water changer. Everything has checked out, I have all the components and just received the latest (and likely final) chip update. More on that later.

 

Sorry for your loss but this stuff is great news. Glad to hear it Darren.
