Steve Wright's SPS takeover

thank you Yamaharider73

thanks 2 in 10

Thats why I did not post them last night LOL

Thanks Corailline
no idea on the name , its going to be yet another Acropora sp until I google for a while

ps the 2 brains cost 30rmb each so thats under 5 bucks USD

 

LOL

Please do not tell me how much the acro was, I really do not think I could take it. Nice big colony.

 

Fair enough

I wont tell you I paid 80 rmb with an exchange rate at 6.7 rmb to the USD
so Ill not say it was about 12 bucks

lol......

 

Thanks for not telling us that Steve

So, am I to understand that you are now doing a mixed reef instead of just sps corals?

 

Im going to do LPS on sand and lowest rock work
I have better control of flow this time
the small 3 head torch was by way of experiment
if you recall last time, my torch, Hammer and Elegance where blasted due to me having 2 very large power heads on either side
this time I have those 4 twin ones which still give me over 70X turnover but not to much going in any 1 direction towards any 1 destination

the torch is holding nicely, so Hammer and Elegance may well follow
I had a Trachy last time which was OK even in the heavier flow
so I figured Wellso's and maybe Scollys, Acans, Favia etc would also be ideal for sand bed and lowest rock work positions

but for the top 2/3rds of the tank - its SPS only zone for me

Steve

 

I personally love lps/sps mixed reefs. Softies, not so much.

 

Yeah so my fight gets in around 3 pm. You will be there right

 

I would be, no problem with that
but you cant take them home with you
live creatures and international boundaries etc

I have a friend that lives in Egypt. He recently visited Germany and the hammer coral he got there is huge and beautiful and survived the trip in check in.

Maxma clams 3 -4 inches 5.00 dollors in Egypt. Now they have a hell of a time getting chaeto and many other items. Getting a decent MH bulb was so difficult I ended up sending one and customs was almost as much as the price as the bulb.

Very few hobbyist there and probably not one single girls. :-/
