August BAR meeting - Quarantine for Reef Systems - Aug. 12

[GreshamH]

I have multiple branching alien eyes, and a few colonies. Most of mine are in the furthest spots from my lights, which would place the PAR below 2" off a 96w PC, much lower PAR in fact. The key to success with any LPS, is feeding.

 

[Mr. Ugly]

I'm using a quad 96 over a 10g. AC350, and no skimmer. Won the light at a New Alameda frag swap raffle last year

I've always kept the LPS off to the side of this light when it was on a 4" frag tray. And now on the 10g, I keep the LPS at the bottom.

LPS are little piggies, and love to eat. Have some lords, chalice, and blastos in this tank. They love Rotifeast, and get all fat from it. Good setup for LPS rescue too.

See this is what happens when a SPS guy starts opening his mouth about LPS. Instant foot insertion.

 

[Mr. Ugly]

Heheh, nah... it's just that I never tried putting chalice way close to these lights. It just didn't seem right

Hmmm... I should put some Branching Alien Eye into DBTC

 

[zepplock]

So where should I put it? Low or high?

[magma01]

how about you put it in the middle!

 

[zepplock]

[Mr. Ugly]

Put it low in your tank, that's what I've done in my 72 with MH and my 10 with PC.

 

[Thales]

We will also have Mrs Wages for sale @ 5 bucks a container, and do we still have glue?

 

[Mr. Ugly]

Yep, a bunch of glue stored at ASAP.

Great! Looking forward to your presentation. Are you bringing any TM Pro Coral Cure and/or Interceptor?

 

[Elite]

Yeah bring some TMPCC Frank.. I need one. I'm starting an SPS tank. Got dip them all this time ..

 

[magma01]

I would buy some TM Pro Coral Cure too.

[zepplock]

I moved alien eye lower in my tank and less flow and I a new eye opened recently.
I occasionaly target feed it with some krill ;-)

 

[Vincerama2]

Since this is a "Quarantine" meeting. Will 10g tanks be on the raffle prize list? ($10 at Petclub!)

Oh, and I think nametags with RC handles would be handy. My 2 cents.

[bareefers]

Hopefully NOT...

10 gallons is too small for a quarantine tank

 

[sfsuphysics]

For corals?

Or for fish?
