MuralReef 360 Classroom Tank

[MuralReef]

300 DD build and fundraiser

Everything looks good I just hate how slow they grow. I may need to rethink how the lights are mounted to get them closer and I could use more blue to help the colors pop. My green bubble tip hasn't been the same since I got rid of the maroon clown fish and my ocellaris won't go near it out of fear she may return.

Patience. Which I'm sure you'll need to remind me of in a week or so...

Does anyone know how to make coral grow faster?

Go on vacation.......

Your tank has progressed quickly! The coral growth is exponential. Little coral grows slow, big coral fast. That tank is still a baby! It's doing awesome.

What kind of bulbs are you running again

 

[MuralReef]

I am running 5 HQI 250 watt MH. 4 are 14000 K Phoenix bulbs and 1 is a 10000 K Ushio.

 

[Andrew_bram]

Those are nice bulbs. Not much more you can do.

I just need to be patient and take care of my pest problems.

I have time Saturday

 

[MuralReef]

Let me see if I can get in the building.

 

[Andrew_bram]

Sounds good I free after about noon I have to be in Elizabeth for dog training.

 

[High Plains Reefer]

what pests are you fighting?

 

[MuralReef]

Just the usual suspects. I have some red planarians and aiptasia. I know how it get rid of the flatworms I just hesitate to use flatworm exit. I have a checkerboard and yellow coris wrasse that haven't touched them. I was thinking about a pink streak.

 

[sethsolomon]

if you don't mind replacing your CUC get a melanarius wrasse they are flatworm fiends

My yellow coris wrasse never touched them either, till I knocked them off the glass with a magnet and he found them in the water column. Apparently they're delicious because now he hunts them and I haven't seen another one.

So do I have a problem or is this what softies do. I got a pineapple tree coral (Capnella sp.) from Seth maybe a month ago. I've read they need moderate to high flow. It is opened up very nicely, but yesterday I noticed it dropped a limb. I thought it was pretty cool so I grabbed it and glued it to a plug. Is this a normal behavior or do I need to reconsider its location? Here are some pics.
