Randy’s Innovative Marine 75 Ext

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

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

My maroons stress they heck out of mine lol no suspense why mine split.
 
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.

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.
