Yep I ment today as in today I haven't left yet but will be around noon and I have your digits. See you later today.

Whenever your tank is running, I always have frags. Just send me a PM when you're ready.

Tonight the Grizz came by and took a couple more large colonies off me. I took out a bucket sized blue german digi tonight. I grew this from a frag



And a comparison to the size of my head


Grizz also took a monti confusa? colony that was being shaded. My blue digi was being shaded like crazy so only 1/3 of it had good colour. Anyway, I will keep updating as I remove colonies.

I did tell Parker that you'd be mad . Take it up with him . Better yet, I'm sure he'd sell you Frags of the colonies he got, ha ha.

All kidding aside, there's lots Johnny. I wasn't quite expecting to harvest thy much last night, but my hands were in there and I was determined to get some corals "unshaded"

Good thing no one on this board knows or remembers where I live, he has to find me before he can take it up with me!

Thanks again Dez!

I know people who know people! lol. Unfortunately, most of those people are just people... so I wouldn't worry too much!

Dez however... I know where you live. MUAHAHAHAHAH!

I'll likely be in town in the next 2-3 weeks...

I put mine tank together the same time as yours but only with half of the growth compare to what you got. I was running pellets but now considering swtiching over to zeo. Do you think if you ran it without zeo, it wouldn't have gave you such a good results? I would love to hear your input.

Thanks for the compliments. If you are ever in Edmonton, feel free to come take a look. I think there are many ways to run aquariums. I simply chose zeo and am happy with it. I've actually stopped Dosing everything except for the basic Bak, food and start - this is the basis for the low nutrient system (introduce bacteria, feed the bacteria and use a carbon source). I hope you find a method that suits you

Thanks Doug. The tricky part is trying to figure out how to avoid the growth patterns to shade the corals I like and to prevent them from touching
