Green Acropora Frag

[Morgan]

This is the acro frag that has shown some new growth. The light coloured areas. The flatworms treatment does not affect it much or maybe it didn't drink too much flatworm's juice.

I only crop the pic only, no touch up done.

[Tanzy]

Looking good, could be a Acropora youngei, but not sure until it matures a bit more. Any frag for me?

[KingFish]

Woah .... don't make me gian acro leh Morgan

[Morgan]

Cannot frag yet. Maybe when you get back and if the growth rate is super super fast then could spare you a mm or 2.

[Tanzy]

Honestly, I don't mind small frags. Nicer growth! This piece is the famous 'L' right?

[spade]

everyone kena brainwashed by Phang to go SPS now??

[Morgan]

Rumor,

you saw it personally right....the L shape frag, and colour is very green not like in the pic. I am abit surprise that the growth rate is that fast. Could be no more flatworm toxin.

Maybe you should go for an acros tank then there will be more people to trade. hahaha

[KingFish]

Yeah Tanzy, possibly.... one of Morgan's Precious....

[Phang]

everyone kena brainwashed by Phang to go SPS now??

No lah.... the ones that are doing the brainwashing are reefers like Morgan...

I open mouth only... no effect.... But once Morgan pos pic, just like the L shaper.... everyone also want to start SPS tank.... look, he jus claimed another victim.... Rumour .....

BTW, Morgan, Very nice frag.... can I be next on line for a piece????

Now I am accused of brainwashing you guys.

Ok To have a large pool "reefers" who are keeping acros. You know where to get frags replacement if somethng happen to your colony.

Phang,

you have to wait very long cos it a very long queue. At the moment, it is still a small piece.

Yes and testing it out.

Need lessons as most of the pics I took turn out bad. No skill. Just manage to get this frag that look reasonable.

Sure win SPS formula.

Get a nice 4'x2'x2' with 12mm glass and overflow.

Cabinet and largest sump you can fit with Iwaki MD55 as return.

Big beckett skimmer. Aerofoamer or Bullet 3 or Alvy or DIY with appropriate pump.

6" DSB or Plenum

Macroalgae refugium.

Four Reeftec or Tunze Stream.

Decent calcium reactor.

Good reactor media.

Good salt.

Use kalkwasser as top-up

1 HP Chiller with Eheim 1060.

Pinpoint pH and Salinity meter

Good mercury thermometer

Some LR.

One tang and a few chromis.

Two 400W Radiums and one 250W Iwasaki or Ushio or AB.

Salifert Calcium, alkalinity, phosphate, nitrate testkits.

Seachem Carbon and Reef Buffer or Kent Superbuffer dKH.

Keep fish and some LPS for one or two years for tank to mature, then throw out the LPS and load it with SPS.

Those items that I did not mention are up to you.

[Morgan]

Anybody work out the cost to setup the above?

[mv3i]

hey morgan ,

i'm no expert in photography ( in fact still learning lah), but u need to play with the manual settings of your camera to get the right pics and sometime need to get a few shots of it to get the best one !!

THe best way is to use the camera's manual and try out all the different setting to see the effect on each settings . After a while , you get more comfortable and know roughly which setting to go for ....

[Morgan]

Thanks mv3i

I am using the idiot proof mode. Auto.

Problem with reflection and other stuff.

Will read the manual and try out other feature.
