No more Blue Spot?
No I tried selling him but no one wanted him. I traded him into my LFS for store credit

Bummer. Going to stay with the one tank then?
For now until we move into a house(whenever that will be) Lol
Nice. At least you have the bigger tank going. Have a good 4th Dan.
Well with the summer months rolling thru, the temp in my tank is jumping up. Its 10:30 at night and my tank is 82°…
Any ideas on how to drop it and keep it there? Think I should cut off the heater for the summer or would that cause too much of a swing?
My lfs suggested to me last year (when my AC died) to get one of those small fans that you can clip on to a shelf, etc. they said to clip it on to the sump (add tape or whatever since you don't want it coming loose and falling in the sump) and run the fan so air blows over the top of the water in the sump. They warned your evaporation will increase so be cognizant of that. If temperature really starts to take off, they suggested filling milk jugs with water, freezing them, and place one in the sump. Unplugging your heater at this point shouldn't do anything as it shouldn't turn on unless temp falls below set point. They also recommended decreasing light on time (although I think you have LED lights which don't produce much neat). Then there is always the chiller route, which is pricey or a window AC unit.
Constant problem at my house. The fan helps, but only so far. If it gets to 100 in your house it won't do jack. My house bakes in the sun all day. And with ancient cathedral ceilings in my farm house, you can't get the living room insulated in the ceiling. Literal 15 degree difference between the living room an the rest of the insulated house. I run the ac in the living room all day. If I don't start at 8-9 am or before I leave for work some days at 5, it gets so hot the ac unit isn't able to catch up.
Anyone have any idea why my fruit loop zoa hasn't multiplied yet? Its been in the tank for at least 2 months and still nothing. Same thing with my Darth Maul zoas. Have had 4 of em for like 4-5 months Lol
But my radioactive dragon eye, fire and ice, LA Lakers, and fake red hornets are growing fine so I'm very confused. Are they just a more difficult type to have?
I think some just grow a lot quicker than others. I think I read on here (may have even been Mr. X that said) the cheaper ones from Indonesia multiply quite rapidly while others may take a long time. I have some that have gone crazy and other that I've had for 8 months that have only added a polyp or two.
So in the past few weeks I have met someone that has hooked me up with corals for a fraction of what LFS would charge.
I've gotten numerous Acans with huge heads, couple different zoa colonies, a big 5in acan enchinata, the green goblin favia, a gold hammer, a crazy insanely colored Yuma mushroom that is supposedly worth a lot of money.
Now if only things would grow so I can start fragging
And yet, no pics of these pieces.
