Riot Reef

Its not exactly pink either.

But you see, its not the destination that counts, its the journey! Might turn pink one day, lets working towards that.

[weileong]

If you could keep the parameters stable and no freak accident then I am sure they will color up soon.

[riot]

Sigh always get freak accidents one.

Well, hope it all turns out right.

Current tank as of now.

Wah your tank coralline algae scarly man...

[riot]

Yeah dispar,

I am like keeping coralline rather than sps leh. They layer upon layer upon layer on each other, I dont have any non- CR covered live rock anymore. I am not sure if this is a good thing.

[Dispar_Anthias]

Yeah dispar,

I am like keeping coralline rather than sps leh. They layer upon layer upon layer on each other, I dont have any non- CR covered live rock anymore. I am not sure if this is a good thing.

Actually they are nice.. but they suck calcium like water

[weileong]

Riot got a powerful CR, no worries.

[riot]

Too powerful. I am like running only 3 hours per day now. Previously, running on 6 hours brought up my CA/KH up to pretty high levels. Then I shut it down to bring it down then cockup.

Deltec ROCKS.

[weileong]

You don't believe that the small tiny CR can be so potent one till you use one right?

I personally know of 1 reefer using the same CR as yours on a 2000litres reef tank and has no problem holding the levels.

[riot]

Yeah, its really really scary! Lucky I did not get a bigger one- would really waste my money. I think when you buy deltec, you really buy performance. But i really wish they had better plastic though. The material they use is like a bit thin, far from the heavy duty acrylic Ian uses.

Nice, the brown tenius at the top really hairy.

What lighting did you use?

[AlfaRomeo]

Bro, thats super hairy!

[riot]

the reef is not so fantastic but hey its my reef and I like it.

[Dorado]

Bro, i like it too, especially the hairy tenius.

[riot]

Gee thanks guys I was hoping that you all wont notice the BROWN and comment on the BLUE tips but hey my blame my camera its no good at capturing all the fantastic colours (joking).

Yeah, its really really really hairy. And its a survivor (it did last in my tank) so its quite nuke proof. My fav piece actually (thats why its so high up in the real estate).

My other piece i got from PR. Not sure if its a survivor (i hope so) or else its $$$ down the drain again.

[AlfaRomeo]

It looks good. Good extension of polyps. Im sure it will do fine

[riot]

Yeah some people take their reefs really serious (its ok its their reef afterall) but I like to enjoy my hobby and have fun. Thats would explain despite my EXPENSIVE deltec equipment my riot reef still looks like a copepod's new tank setup . That and poor skill too.

[Dorado]

Nice bro, I think it A. clathara.

I have the similar but light purplish/pink.

[riot]

Thanks Alfa. Its all due to the KZ Aminos I have been dosing irregularly. Wonder if your special CV stuff would work miracles on this reef.

[riot]

Hey Dorado,

my apologies for missing your question.

I am running a single 400w Hamilton 14kk thru a Coralvue eballast with a spider reflector over this 4 ft tank. The main sps are over the sweet spot while the others (with one foot in the grave) are kept in the fringes.

[blueheaven]

That tenuis is really nice

But your photo had too much contrast and try to focus on the front part and and use a larger depth of field

[Dorado]

Like you termalogy ' with one foot in the grave'

I do that too
