Thanks Reefneckwidow. Yes it is a green branching Frogspawn. It has been pinching and dividing heads for new growth again for a little while now so it is not fully extended in the picture. It is getting close to having to finally break down and frag it some. I have been trying to avoid that ( I love having a large colony ) but it is starting to crowd other corals and has already done some damage to a pink mille frag just above it. I am also starting to have some detritus issues within its branches I need to deal with.

Cool. I've had no luck with frogspawn in either of my tanks and just can't figure out why.
The piece that came with the 75g had 4 heads and they have slowly, one by one, retracted and disappeared, but I see 2 new sprouts starting to develop. I think that when the tank got moved, the coral was moved to the bucket without letting the flesh retract first and that caused it's demise. I know it's not totally from the low lighting and low flow in the tank, as it's currently set up almost completely like the previous owner had it and the coral was fine then.

Heres Mine
I just upgraded from a 55. I am not the best picture taker. I have a 250w MH Iwasaki 6500K, and two NO Actinics.

AustinVines one is nice with his V.H.O. Funny how in Oahu, Hawaii, I could not find VHOs at any place I tried at. Pet Shops, Hardware Stores, Home Improv. places. Funny to me, seems like mainly on-line to get them. JD

Not just funny, Jimbo. Even if you find them at a LFS they will be $40-50 per bulb! I was amazed since I had seen them on hellolights.com for around $20 and thought the guy was just pulling a number out of thin air. Nope... I asked a LFS owner that I trust if he carried them and he said that since he couldn't compete with online, there just wasn't any reason to have them except for special orders (which would be 40-50 per bulb...)
Is your 120 a 4 or 5 foot tank? If you are running 48"vho's then you could get by with the 6500k lights from Lowe's if you are running an IceCap ballast. Let me know if you want any more info as I did a bunch of research on my new to me system. |
