Floridas coming in next week, so those who got the specimens can try to propagate them. Anyway, I'm willing to accept any frags as my parents forbid me from buying a mushie that costs $40-$50

cool

Firstly, an elephant ear would trap your fishes for food. And an elephant ear looks like this

I prefer to use the coralline sticking method I stack my rocks so that they fit exactly and let the coralline bond them together I have 2-3 rocks bonded into 1 piece liao

Well, coralline grows in deepwater regions and light there is mostly dimmer and bluer You can see my progress of the coralline project in my tank thread I would say the most important element you need to have in abundance is Magnesium as coralline contains one of the highest conc. of Mg compared to corals

Yup, do not use rainwater as it is full of dissloved pollutants Tapwater at least is better as it contains some trace elements

Keep in mind that most corals come from temperate regoins such as Indonesia Any temp. that does not exceed 30 degrees is suitable but never accept the fact that the colder the better unless you are keeping coldwater specimens

I doubt that. I have been using contras since day 1 and have no diatoms yet

If KH is too low, calcification rates will decrease drastically Anyway, if I'm not wrong, Alkalinity is actually the measure of how much acid is needed to neutralize the hydroxide ions in the water. And the test you do using the test kit is actually a simple titration

One specimen costs a bomb Talk about 2

Oh yes I will frag them when they have grown to suitable size

Propagation is the way to go!!! Wish ya all your success

Well your return should provide sufficient circulation I used actinic to encourage coralline growth

Well i don't see why not.... My LR are left in my tank for about a month before I got those stuff and coralline is still growing like crazy

Ok I'll post some pics once my father comes home from Japan Took the DC with him

Keep the polls running.....

Well mother nature made the chevron to become a black beauty when grown up

Hope you kill the nudis successfully Wish ya luck

Aquarama is not just focus on reef It has FW too but the motive there is to get distribution rights of some products

Thanks for the comment bro Will try to post monthly growth pics

For those who asked about the xenia frag, its doing very well and has grown 2 more polyps

Closer shot of the colony

Here's the purple monster glued to the LR Looks a little blueish at the tips
