Luke33 Posted February 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Well, it supposedly strengthens the slime coat and promotes growth, the coral boost supposedly brings out colors. As far as stopping aefw, I would doubt it does a thing. I may try something new here in a month or so as that crap is expensive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReefNewby82 Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Ahh okay. That makes sense then. Yeah I've been researching some of that stuff. It's pricey and seems one bottle of this only works with one bottle of that also. And requires daily drops etc. I dunno if that would be conducive to my forgetfulness haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke33 Posted March 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Well it's time for an update. I've had some diatom issues for a bit and finally figured it out, they are slowly going away thankfully. Like a dummy I didn't check my rodi like I should have been. But the colors are really popping right now. Enjoy the daylight pics. This is the bluest milli I have ever seen RR OP Walt Disney Reefpets ultraviolet Had this for about two yrs, very unique piece that's coloring up nicely.

ReefNewby82 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Those are straight up sick man. i dont know how ya do it! you can just go ahead and put me on your frag list for a head of that blazing orange hammer good grief. is it really that bold and dark???

Luke33 Posted April 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Daylight the orange hammer is just a light orange. Under the blue LED that is what it looks like. Pretty sick looking hammer! I don't really frag my sps much and my lps hardly ever get cut! I am starting to run out of room with my lps corner as the hammers and frogspawn are all softball sizes and growing really fast. As far as my coral colors go, idono, i don't really do anything crazy. Big skimmer, good glow, good raw water, and most importantly consistent parameters. I also think my lighting is solid as i run 5 t5's and 3 e5's in my fixture. When you ramp up and down on these fancy fixture's I have never had luck. I just like the simple, its on its off approach. I don't run gfo or carbon or any other crap, just a fuge and a skimmer for nutrient export. I believe your tank just mature's and you kind of wait for it to find its water chemistry spot, then you work it from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Brandon, so far so good. Its always nice when things are going well but in the back of my mind i'm always waiting for that one incident that turns things bad! Loving that hammer! Those SPS look great too. Thanks Paul! Its the nicest hammer i've ever owned, very unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryansweet Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 @Luke33, what's this one??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke33 Posted May 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 12 minutes ago, ryansweet said: @Luke33, what's this one??? Its called Cherry Corals Passionfruit. Kind of reminds me of the Pikachu or RR Pink Floyd. It was pretty bleached when I got it but now is super yellow with really red polyps. Should be a pretty nice piece here in a few more months. https://www.cherrycorals.com/product/cc-passionfruit/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke33 Posted June 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Well, I replaced my diy skimmer this weekend with a old school vertex IN180. Ofcourse i am using a dc4000 pulling 43schf of air at 30w. So far this dude is just tearing it up, i'm pretty impressed. It surprises me how everyone spends hundreds of dollars on a skimmer when in all honesty you can get a used body for 50-100 bux and get a pump for 100 or less. I have been doing the skimmer game for a LONG time and you don't have to spend alot. 24hrs skimmer production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
