Been a while since I last updated. Here’s a FTS of the IM75 and what little other stuff going on around the house.

Looks awesome from the pictures definitely look foward to tank tours in the future. There are so many jaw droping tanks throughout the club.

Never seen ones that big without them splitting

I’ve rarely had natural splits. Most of the CSBs I’ve sold in past have been cuts with the scalpel.

So natural spilts are more common with standard rbtas? Or do you think it's unique to your specific ones combined with your tank conditions?

Most everything in our reef tanks is specific to our tanks. That said, many people have had tons of natural splits with CSBs and RBTAs and some not so many.

I’ve noticed over the years with the higher end nems. Natural splits only occur when something is stressing the nem due to instability or warfare. This is just my observation

I’ve had this Chicago since the size of a quarter. If everything is stable. It will just grow. People use to dunk rose nems in fresh water to get them to split all the time. I think it’s a survival instinct

Snail love is in the air (water?).

Life’s been a little hectic and tanks have mostly been on auto-pilot. I just turned on the lights after they’d been off, so all the goni’s are being shy.

And a little bit of a photo dump for y’all. No growth progression pics today.

Stunning colonies, so grown-in and richly colored

 

[MichaelB]

Incredible coloration. I've seen your bill murray and a few others from a dbtc thread, I picked up 2 one from last cfm, and one from another reefer almost a year ago, both are 90% green with only the slightest dark purplish blue hues. I'm getting zero of the reds and pinks coming through. I've increased time my white spectrum is on from 2 hours to 5.5 hours recently and increased the flow.

Seriously some of you alls sps colonies growth and coloration is just inspiring on a deeper level.

Where did you get those magnets that clip into the egg crate? Pretty neat
