GregC Ultimate Efflo - oddly, of all my frags, I'm most excited for this one to become a colony. I have a soft spot for efflos.

For today's selection, the BC Pearly Cadaver. It lives up to its name... has the pearlyness of an ORA pearlberry but with a different growth form.
This one I got at a local swap in San Antonio. There wasn't much to look at and the plug was covered in algae but the frag was super healthy looking and from the pictures online, I figured why not. I'm glad I did. CC Voodoo Magic |

I might have missed to but did you ever get your gonipora issues fixed? I think I read where you felt it was due to your topoff water having high tds. I can keep sps but as for zoas and goni I can almost forget it.

They all started looking terrible until I figured out my TDS was 84. One seems to have recovered but the 3 others were on their way out. I sent them to a local to see if they can nurse them back to health as his gonis have been doing great in his tank. I have tempered expectations as I've rarely seen a goni recover once its health has been compromised but maybe he can work a miracle for me. |

Getting slowly back in the swing of things after the vacation. Had my portable AC unit stop working right before I left so I left the door open to the fish room for the normal HVAC to supply it but temperatures went up about 2 degrees. Also my white channel on one of my Ocean Revive units go the morning I left so 1/3 of the frag tank got the blue treatment for a bit. Finally, added two float valves and after 16 months of being in the new house, I automated my topoff. That even feels sad as I type it. ;Meh
Got back and everything checked out fine which was great. I went to replace any burnt out white diodes and realized half the blue diodes have black soot over them... just life of the fixture since I have been running them for 4 years... going on 5. I retired that fixture for spare parts and modified a new Ocean Revive fixture, replacing again, all green, red, and 10k diodes for 3.5k. I also added 4 True UV 395 nm diodes for that extra bit of pop. Checked my other oldest fixture and saw the same blacking over of blue diodes and replaced it with a new fixture with the same custom light configuration above. I only burnt my hand once on the soldering gun so I consider that a good session. Snapped a couple pics of my anemones for the Sunburst Marketplace group on Facebook which I frequent so I thought I would share here. I know... I come back from vacation and don't even post a picture of sticks... just gooey anemones. Arizona Sunset Anemone Mak Corals Inferno Anemone Reefwise Lemondrop Anemone |

Well, looks like I made it through 1,000 frag plugs since Jan 2017. That's between frags sold, plugs swapped on pieces I acquired, and I'm sure other miscellanous purposes. Either way, that was a startling revelation when I reached for another bag and there wasn't one!
1,200 purple frag plugs are on their way to me for 2018-2019! |

I haven't been posting the weekly/biweekly photos in my build thread of the anemone lighting experiment (moving anemones under LEDs to T5s for 3 months) because I figured too much documentation for anybody other than the people on the Facebook Colorado Sunburst marketplace.
So here is my last picture and my first picture. I'll take a side-by-side of LED anemones and their T5 counterparts this weekend and summarize my observations for all. 3 Colorado Sunbursts 3 Mak Corals Infernos 1 Reefwise Lemondrop 1st picture Last picture (3 months later) |
