I’m afraid of aggressive dip as this is a mariculture acro , which I assume is more sensitive. I’ll just monitor it for now. The coral is not happy getting dip and poke ! There are some section that’s have no flesh, but it’s not on the expose side , so I suspect it’s just shading. Hopefully

I tried to pull him out but failed. Almost got him. Now he is hiding deep inside and I don’t see him anymore . Sucks

Not easy to remove this little crab. I dip in coral Rx , not sure it will do anything. It hide inside the coral really well. Other option is to cut up the colony to get to the crab. I’ll monitor it for the time being Any suggestions?

Pretty cute but should I be worried?

The bright yellow coral on the left of the second pic is the goldenrod I got from you. Color improved a lot especially in the last few months when I started dosing bailing part C aka mineral salt. No solid proof but that’s one major change I did.

I’ll make a frag on the second one for our trade .

Another mariculture colony . Same effect

Taken with the same orange filter . Picture doesn’t show as bright , but top view show a very bright yellow vs greenish in the side view. Too bad. I like the top view a lot more. Haha This is the mariculture sps colony from Clearwater.

Looks good to me. Mine is a lot worst buts it’s been 5 years. I won’t lose sleep over this

Let me know anytime. I am happy to give large chunks of Monti sentosa, digitata and rainbow pocillopora. They are growing like weeds in my tank. Maybe some other random Monti as well.

I am happy to donate a bunch of corals but I’m in Santa Clara. If you happens to head down this way, drop me a message . I probably have some equipment too. Are you looking for anything specific?

Something like this

The pump is pre installed . It’s in an enclosed plastic enclosure that’s not trivial how to open the case without breaking something. It’s a pain now to switch to 3/8 line. I drill through the subfloor from the kitchen to pull the line to my tank. The hole is just big enough for 1/4 line.

I have 1 single system now . It’s a tankless RO but the pulsating pump issue when I feed to the tank is annoying me . Can’t figure out the problem.

I can’t figure why the pump turns on and off only when feeding the tank. No problem with drinking water. The line that feed the tank also have Dual stage DI. I also assume the waste line pressure is low . Good idea on check valve but I heard they are not reliable.
