Hes gonna get you in your sleep
No, not on Montipora sp. I've heard of them showing up on LPS corals like Frogspawn before. Montipora can be attacked by monti-eating Nudibranchs though. http://melevsreef.com/id/monti_nudi.html
I have the water grounded and just re-did the elec in the house prior to my build there arent any power heads or pumps in the water with the exception of the skimmer which ext. Ill check it tonight tho just to be sure. He decided to return to the rocks in his usual spot and pouted the last time I thur him back in
That's nuts! Besides just being insane, maybe he's hungry or something in the water makes him want out. Stray electricity perhaps?
I couldn't see all those corals on still pics. (Blind in one eye and cant see out the other. Lol) Tank looks really nice. And, will look awesome when the frags grow out.
yea I got it what I lack in skills I make up with persistence. I was just running 3 250w 14k and growth was nil so I add 4 165w vho tube to the mix and thing are showing better growth but i think it's time for new bulbs
Thanks for sharing your video. Let's see those frags grow! It looks like you got it embedded okay. The best way is to use the Long version of the youtube URL, and then paste that between the [video ] [ / video] tags. The film strip icon over the editor creates those around your URL.
i cant embed a video here to save my life

That is a very interesting question. Have you asked the folks at WetWebMedia or maybe email someone over at Advanced Aquarist? I don't know the answer but let's look at it this way: Zooxanthellae is actually golden-brown, and the color that we see is from pigments and florescent proteins produced by the corals themselves. So the amount of energy that the zooxanthellae are getting is light at the location of the coral minus the filtering done by the coral's pigments and maybe even enhanced by the florescence. I would imagine that different color pigments and florescence is having some kind of an effect, but I don't know how much of an effect.
im going to guess and say no
Exactly my sentiments.
Dread is right. My suspicion, when I first heard about it, was that some lawyer is also a reefer and when he got wind of it decided to "investigate"; i.e. lemme see if I can get some money out of them. Because, like Marc points out, nobody ever complained about lack of flow on their Tunze pumps. Doesn't support a very pro-America world view when crap like this happens.
I'm annoyed to see this as well. I saw it posted on our club's site as well as Facebook, and replied both times. No-one was upset or litigious before this study was published. Their livestock was happy, their corals looked good, and their owners were content. If a lack of flow existed, they added pumps as necessary to fill that need. Had the pumps had more flow, odds are the owners would have cranked them down to avoid ripping the tissue off their corals, again opting to point additional power heads at less flow rates to get chaotic flow while allowing the corals to thrive.
It's just nothing more then greedy lawyers who have no god damn business whatsoever being involved in these types of matters but they see $$$ signs and will go for it regardless who they impact during the process. Hell I follow the tech industry pretty closely and every single day at least 3 new lawsuits are placed upon people for patent infringement because a button looks like another persons button and they want 10 bagillion dollars because of it. It's disgusting.
You know, I don't think that Tunze did anything false information purpose. If we go further, I still think the flow study had some flaws. It may not have been comparing apples to apples. Now, I own both Tunze and EcoTech and both are awesome products. So they need to relax and let Tunze off the hook.
Agreed. I'd leave it alone as long as it doesn't appear to be decaying and nothing is bothering it.
Nice tank, what kinda rock is that? Where did you buy it from?
Looking really good love the rock work!
