i picked up two sps today at work
a purple one that fell and had some danmage ( really nice monti digi) and a seriatapora ( sp) dark pink picts later btw guys keep in mind im always wanting to trade frags!! i currently have some intresting things but nothing to rare ( so maybe coral and some cash for your rarer coral) well i dont have any heaters but my frag tanks are outside temp of room is 68 degrees at 61 percent humidity! tanks temps are stable i added an extra pump to my one tank (100 watt pump same thing as 100 watt heater.) the tank normany runs at 72 and is maintaining that my sps tank im not worried about it runs 78 normaly and seems to be maintaining i do have a blow torch ready ( can heat the room FAST!!)

some macro shots
please note the one monti was injured by a hammer or hydnophora ( i forget which) and the lil white specks are CA precipitate NOT paracites ( trust me when i saw those i ranout there and freaked lol) all brances are new growth except the ones that show danmage the CA reactor im trying to build ( water on lense sorry) with a lil glue you can glue the bottom of a maxijet into a 1/2 inch coupling ( i used the green can of pvc glue ) and the output fits perfectly into a 1/2 inch (i belive jaco fitting) anyways its a removable slip fitting used on lots of ro units

Where did you get the plans for the DIY calcium reactor? It looks pretty cool.

found another cool monti
ill post picts later along with updated growth picts past 4 days my ( for some reason has been white in all tanks iv had it in) german blue ( was blue at store for about 4 months before i bought it) has sprouted multiple growth tips!! i dunno what this thing is doing i just hope it gains its color back now that its in my prop tank! ( or atleast turns brown) it has been white for about 4 months yet growning slow ( was in my display... very strange)

Nice pics. I am interested in the calcium reactor. Could you go over it in a little more detail?

have a seperate thread for it but i will gladly repost some of it here
anyways.. i got it running ( water in water out.. no co2 yet) and have added air bubbles to the line to test its repriming capabilitys( as long as it isnt such a large air bubble as to stop the pump it eventualy reprimes ( even faster if i close hte restriction valve ( there for increasing flow in from the iinlet line) the water this thing is capable of moving without the use ofa gravity feed or a dosing pump is amazing.. i get a very fast stream from the output when i have hte restriction valve baraly closed. anyways.. brb

my new monti may be some form of a rainbow monti ( but not encrusting) or atleast i dont think it is encrusting... god encrusting corals will be a pita to grow and frag
but i see some differently colored polyps in the colony ( some reds and yellows) as promised Quote:

thing i like about it so far is it allows a small air pocket a thte top and any excess gets pumped out
this allows a poclet of co2 to form and be used over and over ( till it all disolves) the pump is almost always sucking in a lil of the air pocket. this should minimize ph fluxuation in teh reactor
