Hey all - I'd like to share some of our post-swap changes and ideas for improvement and capture any feedback that our members have. Change #1 - all Bonus/Ultra Zoa entries must be a minimum of TWO polyps. This was an old rule that kind of fell by the wayside but I want to formalize it again...

Haven't updated in a while - nothing much new to report other than I shut down my frag tank.I could not stop detritus from accumulating in it - originally the return pump was in the return chamber of the DT sump, but even after moving the return downstream past the skimmer it still seemed to...

I posted a lot about my issues with these in my tank journal. After the 3rd set of rotor shafts, I decided just to switch all my pumps out for alternatives.

Probably want to invest in a small heater + controller to get your temp a little higher. Should be a cheap purchase. Do you have an ATO? that will be the most important thing to keep your salinity stable. What parameters do you have test kits for, and what brand of kit?

Welcome! There is a lot to unpack here. Things I would definitely NOT do: do not pull rocks or sand (you want things to continue to stabilize - rocks and sand are not your enemy right now). do not add a mangrove (??? you've got your hands pretty full already) do not add any expensive livestock...

Confirmed lists, thanks to the committee for all the voting! I have also posted this to the official bonus list thread here: https://www.bareefers.org/forum/threads/complete-bonus-coral-list-2025.38411/ ULTRA List for 11/2 RMF Acid Trip Walt Disney SCOP Vivid Confetti Stratosphere...

Here is the latest bonus / ultra coral list confirmed for the 11/2 Frag Swap tomorrow. If there are any issues or last minute callouts let me know and I will make updates by EOD as necessary! ULTRA List for 11/2 RMF Acid Trip Walt Disney SCOP Vivid Confetti Stratosphere Zoas 3...

You are right, Oregon Tort is back in the ultra category - I wonder if some votes were changed (which is fine), since I only shared corals that had definitive majority votes. At any rate, submissions are closed at this point and I will finalize the bonus/ultra lists for publish tomorrow.

We are going to close submissions on FRIDAY, 10/31! I will update the finalized lists the following day on Saturday.

Coral warfare is a strange thing. Sometimes corals will practically grow into/onto each other, other times there's a clear winner and the loser just kind gives up the spot, then other times the smallest sting sets of a deadly necrosis event that will take the entire colony if you don't frag it...
