They vary just like any other coral, But I had a stag that you had to use huge cutters to frag. And I also have to other stags that are much smaller. Still thicker than most SPS though.
That's ALK is pretty high but if its been consistent there with everything happy, then idk.
Make sure nothing is brushing it. You'd be surprised how long lps sweeper tenticles get at night.
If there's any brown slime, get it off of it. That can bother it too. May be a good idea to frag off the affected heads.
I have 3 Evolution 150's and 4 3' Build My LED strips, 2 with White, Green, Red, and Yellow to complement the Evos, and 2 with UV and the 2 blue LED's.
I will eventually go all Build My LED but for now, my tank is doing well with the current setup.
A lot of people come to pick up frags from me and have the idea that LED's won't grow SPS coral. After looking at my old pics to now they definitely do! Whether its faster or slower than other lighting I think depends on the system. Here is a pic of one of my SPS that I was recently trying to ID. This is when I got it: And this is 5 months later: I will post more when I get home but feel free to post any of your LED SPS success!

I was thinking about that but i'm not going to be about to get to all the tubes to remove them since they're glued in.
I was thinking to drill the holes, then put tubes going up and away from the water level.
I'm trying to quiet my Overflow.
They are the Fishy Business style with the bulkhead being in the back of the tank.
I bought some high quality CPX union valves for them but I'm wondering if the solution may be simpler than that.
Could I drill a hole in the top of my 90 right after the bulkhead similar to what you would to a Durso to remove the gurgle?
Any other Ideas?
Been a while.
I was having trouble with my corals bleaching, so I picked up a dimmer for my BML light. I dialed it down to 50% and everything's been happy ever since.
My clown died of some type of bacterial infection, and the hippo shortly after that.
I decided to go with fish that I didn't neccessarily have to feed, and would serve more of a purpose.
So currently, I have a small Yellow Coris Wrasse, and a Lawnmower Blenny. Both have been doing well and cleaning the heck out of the tank.
The "Clear" overflow definitly is brown now. Wouldn't do that again!
I have some small pieces of green digi, pink and green pocillapore, green seratopora, paletta blue, purple polyped birdsnest. If you want to see the colonies, check out my trimming sale thread.
