Ooh what kinda zoas and bn?

 

[dingusplease]

Nice freebie! Just curious, is there any danger of your clown goby spawning directly on sps frags, damaging them? I've heard that this can occur, but I wasn't sure if it could have an actual effect on corals.

 

[BigRedsReefs10]

Just a pretty average ponape. The z's I got are tubbs blues, orange mauls, and I believe Green Bay packers, which if I'm correct I'll have to re-name since I'm in Chicago after all and I can't have any packers paraphernalia in bear country .

Stop copying me haha I have all those morphs. They're fantastic. Ponapes is the best looking birdsnest IMO. I love my little colony of it. I'm also a packers can so I approve

I'm not 100% positive but I'm pretty sure you need a mated pair before that becomes an issue. And either way mine has always been a fan of rics or euphies for his perches so I'm not real worried, and I can always transfer the frag should it ever become an issue.

Well if your never going to frag them I had to get them some how didn't I? I also think I'm going to be ordering some Rastas if I can find a couple polyp frag where there not asking $10-15 pp

Edit: and bears for life over here, not sure if I can be friends with you any more

Haha I'm just lazy web it comes to fragging and the GB packers would be impossible to get to. I'm scared to ship stuff too haha. Eventually I will figure it out and dang I want some Rastas...those nuke greens and candy apples are my next to find.

 

[BigRedsReefs10]

Yeah I almost got some blue agave palys, but they wanted $50 pp. the candy apples are on my list too, great minds I guess

 

[bribo12]

Haha yep basically. How're the Duncan's?

 

[BigRedsReefs10]

Still doing the same thing, cut an hour and a half off the light schedule and it still closes up before the light goes off

 

[bribo12]

Sounds like my stupid acans

Yep, we both got a stubborn lps that's supposed to be easy. I'm done messing with it though just going to leave it in it's new spot and see how it goes.

 

[bribo12]

Yep...nice new zoas! Ponapes is so hard to get a good pic of with leds

 

[BigRedsReefs10]

It's tough to get good pics of anything with LEDs, that's one of the things t5s have over LEDs for sure.

 

[bribo12]

Yessir leds just turn everything blue haha

 

[brendans72]

Hey would this work in my 30gallon?http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/1045767713

 

[BigRedsReefs10]

IMHO, no there not reef capable. You want a unit with 3watt individual LEDs, both white and blue. That unit used 1.5w whites and .25w blues, it's really just to view fish

 

[brendans72]

Okay thank you
