+OU12004 Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 No problems with Hammers and Frogspawns, but my Rainbow hammer attacked a Favia and Chalice. My hammers sting Duncan's and my Torches have killed a branching Hammer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colonies in the back are huge! Thanks I had a tank crash and just about quit. I lost some corals that I had for several years and then just stopped taking care of the tank and lost more. About a year ago I got over it and started to clean everything up. The corals are slowly starting to color back up and I have started to add stuff again. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OU12004 Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 Just replaced my Reefbreeder photon’s after 6 years with the Photon V2+. One side was flickering to a lower power so I had to make the switch. I am hopeful that my SPS will start coloring up with this new light. I also broke down my bio-reactor and cleaned all the parts, so should should see a little lower nutrients. On a side note how long does it take for the base of SPS colonies to regain color? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda depends. First of all you should be aware there are aging processes in corals that may show as changes in coloration. (This paper on aging in corals is fascinating but it is a bit thick: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/brv.12391) An example below is of a Povona cactus colony in one of my tanks. The change to brown is evident in the older polyps (lighting varies from ~150 - 175 PAR across the whole colony). Light availability is also a very common factor in changes in coloration of the lower parts of colonies, once you've added your new lights I'd expect to see some improvemnet in a few weeks but if you don't see any after a couple months it's probably not going to happen. And flow may be a factor also. Growth of a colony plays a big factor in both of these variables. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OU12004 Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 We got new floors and I lost almost all of my acros when an anemone died in the tub, seems like once a year something goes wrong and I have to start over. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
