i bet your tank looks much better than mine ![]() my tank needs a good cleaning , im thinking on changing out most of the water and doing an extreme clean here one day soon on all equipment, heavy feeding takes it toll on the sump lol all the corals are happy though and growing like crazy as things grow tighter and tighter together im interested in seeing what happens ![]() pineapple sponges are littered all over my tank, same with pink sponges. huge population of pods so much that both the mandy and scooter are bursting at the stomach. my MI and copperband are insanely use to me now they both eat right from the turkey baster like loonatics and tonight i noticed they will share the same large piece of mysis kinda like a lady and the tramp thing lol they are best buds side by side at all times.....if they eat my coral its gonna be a tough decision lol its not all gravy though, hydroids are still around but slowly dissappearing as the peps feel more comfortable around the tank, ive noticed some grape caulerpa growing in a hidden area i didnt see, its impossible for me to get at without destroying a whole section of corals so plans are in the works to get that taken care of along with some other macros that keep popping up. all my glass bed is losing its green and going back to clear but is peppered in coraline. the tank seems to be loving the leds, my gorgs seem to be sensitive to the color changes though , not so much its regular light schedule in the day but after 12am i have my radion go through a full green cycle for half hour, full red for half hour, full white etc through all the colors.seems the green makes them mad, as soon as the green is gone they are back full polyps , happens like clockwork every night. i keep forgetting to add my harleys back to the display theyve been in the overflow box quite a while now but are doing great ![]()

Why do you cycle all the colors at night?

Just to enjoy the colors, so I do it at night while everyone's shutdown, its purely for my own enjoyment

im proof you dont need money to have a nice tank , dude im poor as they get lol all my pics are from a scratched up cell phone, tank and equipment are fairly basic and as for corals thats easy you buy one nice piece break it in half and trade for another nice piece , keep repeating the last step untill you have lots of tradables , as they grow the circle continues ![]() my bonsai tree corals are mostly trades as alot of this stuff you cant find in a lfs on the best of days ![]() thanks ![]()
