John's 75 Last picture

Thank you, hopefully they regain all of their colors back. The left one had a blue base and the middle one a light green.

 

I absolutely love your ricordea and zoa gardens! Beautiful tank!!

 

Thank you very much

 

Hmm I am kind of surprised you went back to 4, the lps and ricordia I can understand but I am surprised the sps paled. That must be a ton of light with a quality reflector.

Looks like the blastos did a great job of acclimating, very pretty.

Has the Formosa hit the surface yet?

 

Thanks Cheryl, I think part of the equation is there is no splash cover on the bulbs. I got some new salt in and did not check the salinity of the mix as I had made it before. It caused my salinity to go from 35 to 38. That definitely didn't help either.

I am very pleased on the blastos, I pulled them out from under the rocks a couple of weeks ago and they are still doing well.

The formosa is about 1/4" from the surface now.

 

Hope that cutting down the number of bulbs brings your corals back to good color.

That's crazy. Who would think that there is such a thing as to much light? But there is.

 

They actually seem to be coming around some already. Thanks for the wishes, Mike.

Here is new pic of the tank.



The A. formosa is about 1/4" from the water line and you can see where I have removed the branches on the Cali Tort on the left.

 

Is mine gonna look like yours someday?? sigh... it's too awesome, John..

Oh I wanted ask you about your return pump Rio 8HF. Is it quiet ? Any issue? How long have you been using it?

 

VERY nice FTS!
