Ill trade you this "purple" digi for it

 

[Darylb]

Sure haha I am good friends with the guy who runs the salt section at my LFS so I get good prices these go for $12-15 and this one is 25

 

[Darylb]

Sorry here's the one for $25

 

[Darylb]

I'd love to but postage to aus will be crazy

 

[bribo12]

Wow I'm so jealous of those acans. Guess that kinda makes up for not getting crazy zoa morphs. I'd be looking at $40-60 retail for most of those.

One thing I really want is a monti cap but they are rare to find here

Over here ppl can't give them away they're so common. Good luck finding one. I cannot keep them for some reason so I feel your pain some

 

[Darylb]

Thanks haha I'm gonna be on the look out for my zoas soon I want this garden to bloom. If you add a lot of corals at once can it effect your tank? I want to go but some more next week

 

[bribo12]

Nah they have a minimal bioload. Your tanks been running for a while right? I've never had issues adding a couple corals at once.

 

[Darylb]

Yea it's been up for around a year and a bit iv only got softies and LPS anyway. Do you add anything to your tank? I was suggested iodine

 

[bribo12]

Nope I wouldn't. Iodine can be very very very bad if overdosed. It is kept at the proper level by our salt mix. I dose 2 part calcium and alkalinity when needed because I have a bunch of growing sps corals that use it up. But mostly I just do water changes and that works fine. Especially for the zoas .

 

[Darylb]

Sweet I had some SPS but it was pretty full on keeping the water clean I'm not running a sump. I'm setting up a 100 gal in a few weeks so this tank may get an over haul at the same time the 100 will be full on SPS

 

[bribo12]

That sounds awesome, ill definitely be following that build! I love sps corals, the growth patterns are incredible. I really wanna start up an encrusting monti garden but I don't have room for that haha.

 

[Darylb]

That would be cool if you got different colours would they like grow into each other and form multi colour monties?

 

[bribo12]

Haha yeah that would be crazy
