    DBTC RRC Goldenrod Anacropora

    Mine is in like 500-600 PAR which it hates and bleaches at the peak but it's very yellow and has been for four years so maybe just give it time. It is brighter yellow in lower light in my past frags I've made.

    Hello all! Thanks to @ReyDeFarts for making this happen and being the motivation and the time and effort he put into sharing this coral. I had a large colony of this in need of some heavy trimming and he has generously offered to bring it up from Salinas to a frag swap recently and I understand...

    Hello from Salinas/Monterey

Ten green chromis. Two spot tang, Purple tang, yellow tang, desjardini tang, yellow belly blue hippo tang...

    Hello from Salinas/Monterey

    I use mesh filter socks, a Reef Octopus Regal Int 200, and occasional GFO in a media reactor. Weekly 30-60g water changes. Alk 7-8.5 Ca 420-460 Mg a hot mess but above 1300 PO4 0.1-0.5 ppm (not a typo) NO3 15-25 ppm I run high nutrients since I neglected to plan that part of my system well and...

    Hello from Salinas/Monterey

    Sorry I missed this. No I did not build it. CDA is doing the customization. It’s really not much cost to add on to their stand. This will be the third they’ve built with a bar. The others were much more significant customizations. One even had a copper bar top!!!

    Hello from Salinas/Monterey

    That will definitely be a challenge lol! I don’t know how I’m going to fit everything in this stand with no separate cabinet as I have now for my electrical and dosing. I’m trying to offload a lot of stuff into the water mixing shed on the other side of the wall. Working that as we speak!

    Hello from Salinas/Monterey

    Thanks! It’s been up three years. It was slow to grow coral due to dinoflagellates sticking through a year of battle but they’re growing well since about 16 months or so into it. Color is still tricky to get right due to chemsitry fluctuation in a small volume. My WD has never been orange/yellow...

    Hello from Salinas/Monterey

    Thanks all. Here’s my current 24g lagoon SPS tank. It’s overgrown waiting for these colonies to move to the big tank right now so it’s not at its prettiest but it accomplishes what it was supposed to.

    Hello from Salinas/Monterey

    Hello all! I'm a long time resident and reefer of the area but first time (that I can recall!) member of BAR. Just joined a second ago! Wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I am very close to receiving a 72"x30"x24" Crystal Dynamic Aquarium 225g tank that I hope to set up as a bare-bottom...

    In preparation for my tank I just put in Trafficmaster Allure vinyl plank flooring. Got it at a buck per sq ft on Black Friday. It's completely waterproof and floats on a slab. Very easy installation with just a knife and a carpenters square and measuring tape. Looks like wood but does scratch...

    It's Aaron and I'm glad to be part of the club myself. I'm getting a 30g frag tank tomorrow to prepare for the big tank and start growing out some frags both for the DT and to trade at the frag swap. The fun begins! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Phew! After reading this thread for a week and a half I have reached the end! Amazing work and love seeing the progression shots. Really sums up what I love about reefing. Nice to meet you at Neptune last weekend! I hope the tank I get from there turns out half as nice as yours. Sent from my...
