40 gallon Reef Journal

Actual Nuke Greens? If so they are crazy for selling them that low lol. A single polyp of true nuke greens can bring 50-60....

they look like em.......idk, i dont care really cuz im getting some other real nukes in another shipment of some nice zoas. i got tubs, and some other stuff, well see when it gets here.....

 

[Cichlid-Man]

Noice. I need to get my 40gal progressed some...maybe this week.

 

[zoalover34]

Where did you order from or was it a trade? Were your tubs expensive if you bought em?

 

[jumpfreak26]

got from albuquerque at a lfs, just normal sales. The tubs i got for free. some guy was supposed to send me a zoa pack two months ago, and hehasnt, so when he does, hes giving me a bunch of free goodies for being patient it pays off.

 

[jumpfreak26]

Grand. My return impeller broke.

 

[jumpfreak26]

Got the impeller, and my macro extension tube. 5$. Cheap, and moneys worth. Doesnt have the internals for Auto focus, so i am left trying to focus by zooming in and out, which isnt as precise. My goodies should come in tomorow. I got the 1st set of goodies on wednesday, but all was dead. So im getting it tomorw by overnight. Pics!

[jumpfreak26]

Ok, i got some new SPS this week, heres some pics. There a little brown, but i figured just trying to boost zooxanthelle, which is why its so brown. Input? anyways, heres the pics!

Rose Milli

Tri-Color Green Acro

Blue Acro

Enjoy!

 

[Joe Fish]

Nice acros. I'm sure they will color up in a few days.

 

[Cichlid-Man]

The rose milli pic isn't showing for me? As long as they arn't white!

Nice, can't wait to see them as they color up.

 

[jumpfreak26]

hmmmmm.....shows up for me, ill check.
the blue acro is making a comeback, its turning a shade of green, not as much brown, more evened out. Idk what the tri-color actually looks like, well have to wait and see!

 

[TRe]

looks very brown.... did u atleast get a good deal on them? i havnt had the best luck with milles but maybe youll have better luck! with perfect conditions (params/lighting) they should boounce back.... just make sure everything is where it should be ie. nitrates,phos,cal,alk

 

[Cichlid-Man]

I see it now! I've got 3 pieces of Milli, all different colors. I havn't had the polyp extension like i was expecting, but they seem to be doing fine.

 

[TRe]

IME ive tried 2 differant pieces of mille... the first my tank clearly wasnt ready and it died within weeks and the second i had high phos and over like a month or 2 it slowly went down hill (looked good at first than the polyps stop extending and little by little it started to rtn) im on top of everything now but my reefing budget has been put on hold so ill have to wait to try again good luck with it tho!

 

[jumpfreak26]

Yeah the 1 thing i noticed is that they are all pretty brown, but so far it all looks good, i got the milli for 15$, seems good to me. I have had no problems with phospahte at all, but my calcium dropped alot when my return went out, the only supply of calc was the ATO, and it wasnt running for over a week. BUt hopefully all should be well.

 

[Cichlid-Man]

I got my superman monti totally browned out and looking busted. 1-2 weeks in my tank, i could sucessfully ID it as superman monti. I bought it for the price of a normal monti cap. Sometimes brown to start is good. Like i said, as long as they arn't white...they are alive and have a chance.

what r u using kalk?

 

[jumpfreak26]

yeah, it runs like a reactor, instead of a drip system
