Well got to keep some pictures on each page so here you go.
Pink lemonade, the got broke to pieces when trying to get it off the rocks in the old tank, starting to get a little color back. And, my beautiful blue wild piece. A nice maricultured piece starting to turn yellow was brown until I got it in the new tank and put it directly under the radion puck. Last edited by MichaelW; 08/19/2015 at 10:57 PM.

Hot damn, that wild piece is blue. The fluoro tipped piece is really popping with pigments now mate.
I have to say that considering how hard it is to dial LED's in, you have them well and truly humming Michael. You have beautiful saturated pigments i don't normally associate with all LED tanks. If i were beaten with chains and forced to give up my Radiums i'd be copying your lighting and spectrum.

Wow!!! That wild blue piece is so nice! How long have you had that piece in your tank? When you first got it did it have as deep colour?

In general I would say blue colors are doing better in this tank than the previous. The major changes have been right now not running gfo in this tank and a less aggressive GAC, run passive instead of a reactor. And using red sea blue bucket instead of Kent reef salt. |

If all goes to plan I should be getting the poison today. Apparently it is expired though... But should be ok? The person said just overdose it a little to make up for it. Thoughts?

Nice! Colors are looking fantastic.
I think you'll be just fine with the expired stuff unless it expired a decade ago.. Photos are great.. Still an issue with focus.. Which is odd but colour and light, you have down..

Ok guys I have the poison. I have 8 pills for 2-10 pound dogs and 2 pills for 11-25 pound dogs. I was told to do 4 of the 2-10 pound and 1 of the other pills as first dose. Then the same as second treatment. Didn't know if I leave skimmer on or off, how long to leave treatment etc. So if anyone has any good links for protocol they may have followed succesfully that would be good.

Going to do the red bug treatment this weekend. I will crush up the pills, dissolve them in tank water and add them to tank at night. Will remove the mesh bag of carbon in sump and put skimmer air intake under water. I am going to leave it a good 12 hours. Now I don't have enough salt water to make a very large water change maybe only like 20% hopefully this is enough? I will replace fresh carbon 2. Do you think I should just use mesh bag with the carbon like I usually do or this time run it in a reactor?

I really don't know. Did you read the red bug stickied thread to get the dose?

I treated my tank 3 times. I now also give incoming corals a Redbug treatment in a small QT tank.

I had couple requests for more pics of the "blue piece" so ask and you shall receive. I thought I best do a quick one now before I treat with interceptor tonight just I case something goes wrong.
This pic is right off the camera, re sized only. Didn't bother to change white balance or anything but I think it still came out ok. Was a little hard to get because I had to block the reflection of the LEDs on the water surface. |

Great photos, and beautiful tank. The interceptor shouldn't kill any acros, just most of the pods and some other inverts.
Did you try out my schedule?

Ok, let me know how my schedule works for you, might be a little longer than the average schedule though, since I'm running for about 16 hrs a day.
If you need any frags down the road just let me know, need to do some trimming.

That blue piece is a real stunner!!
Don't worry about the bug killer.. It is harmless for acros..
