Bribo's 20 gallon rimless reef/Eventual 40

It wasn't my advice, but I still consider it possibly the best advice I've ever read on a forum

 

[NanoNewb]

Hahaha!

 

[bribo12]

So I think I've decided I'm getting the rose millepora and purple stylo Saturday

 

[BigRedsReefs10]

Very nice, did you euthanize the gsp?

 

[bribo12]

I'll be attempting it during my next wc which is Sunday...I don't even know if its worth it. I'll have to take a bunch of rocks out and annoy a lot of corals...ugh

 

[BigRedsReefs10]

Ap-x would work, but probably the more expensive way

 

[Sniperhank]

Depending on what kind they are, just frag the crap out of them and trade to your local peers.

 

[bribo12]

Yeah they're nice, it's just a matter of some being in super hard to get to places. I'm gonna cut them down hard though on Sunday!

 

[Sniperhank]

Always in hard places. When i took apart the 'frag' plug with my orange bam bam's on it, I glued a chunk down and let some others scatter into the wind. So I'll have some growing in interesting places when I start looking around in several months. Accidentally did that with some paly's and they are growing well, so might as well do it on purpose.

 

[bribo12]

I'd love to do that with zoas or plays but gsp is to invasive. One of those wish you never put it in your tank corals haha

 

[Sniperhank]

I had a red variety I bought when I was down in Baltimore several years ago when I was testifying for a client in court. It was really nice, until a fungus showed up months later and started destroying it. I switched it into the other tank that I had running at the time and wasn't enough to save it, even with a coralrx dip. I look under my starlight blue acro I have growing in my tank and...color me surprised it is making a comeback. Interesting stuff with how hardy it can be. Thankfully, not as invasive as it could be...but then again my tank isn't as friendly towards some soft/polyps as it is others.

 

[bribo12]

That's pretty sweet, never seen a red variety. It hasn't overgrown anything in my tank but it is bugging me lol.

 

[Sniperhank]

If I have time before work tomorrow, I'll try to snap a picture and post it in my build thread. I've fallen behind in updates lately. Pretty neat stuff. It was mislabeled and I talked the store into selling it for the 'gsp' price rather than the more expensive price for whatever it was labeled as...since I've forgotten with time.

 

[bribo12]

Awesome, sounds good! I'll check it out whenever you get it posted.

 

[bribo12]

No luck with the acan in the shade...it's still annoyed.

 

[Sniperhank]

Parameters are in check too im assuming? How's the flow? My acan lords did ok until I switched over to the mp40's and the flow changed up drastically.

 

[bribo12]

Yeah params are fine. All my acros are really starting to put on nice growth. Zoas look great, euphyllia an my Duncan look awesome. My other 3 acans are puffy, it's just this one that doesn't get puffy as much. It is on my sand. I'm thinking its the mp10 as I have it running at about 70% in reef crest.

 

[Sniperhank]

I have one that doesn't puff up either.

 

[bribo12]

Yeah I mean its healthy and growing new heads. It just isn't puffy like it used to be, guess ill just have to get used to it :/

 

[bribo12]

Acan is looking a bit puffier but still kinda shrunk. In other news my serpent star decided to play a fun game of drag my other acan under my hammer coral...:/. Got him out and they both seem to be fine
