Adam here, great video your tank has really come good. I am getting back into reefing with a new tank, I think I saw you at jj the other day? Hope all is well. Great job
thanks
Adam
I always have a hard time to remember faces! It took me hours to find out who you are! I am very sorry, Adam. Please, do not think I tried to ignore you! I am just terrible with faces, must be the ageing process! lol I think I remember you now! We met a couple of years ago at the now gone Reef Club! Am I right? Really sorry, I feel like a bast**d now! Next time you see me and I don't say "Hi" please slap me on the head!
Everything is fine, always addicted to the hobby! Thanks. How's your tank? You must have upgraded it by now, no?
i have the fluval evo 13 but i don't think it is good enough for sps.

Christmas tree worms.

Thanks. I´m thinking to do a tour video but firstly I have to deal with the worst aiptasia outbreak my tank ever had. Anyway, there is nothing special to it. NOPOX, UV, skimmer, calcium reactor and 10% wc weekly. I try to use the KISS method as much as possible.
I check it out. Many thanks.
For the very first time I am having luck with two Angelfish. A Apolemichthys trimaculatus and a Centropyge eibli. Two weeks in the tank and so far they are very well behaved.
Congrats on your Xmas tree worms, Steve. Sadly, most butterflyfish and some angelfish are predatores of Christmas tree worms. :(
The close-up´s were shot with a tamron 90mm 2.8 DI Macro lens and the fts, zooming and panning shots with a Nikkor 14-24mm 2.8. Both lens mounted on my old Nikon D800. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much for the very kind words, Scott.
I wish I could, Steve. I bought it very brown and had some Thai name that I didn't get. It is now getting purplish/brown, plating type, slow growth I think. Sorry if I don´t know much about it.
Hi Steve, I have never tried but I think the coral can be fragged but the tubes where the worms live in can be way longer than the worm itself. Also the colourful visible part of the worm is... its bottom.
Thank you!
ahahah Tidal garden videos are the best! My poor Nikon camera is no match for that. Yes, it is a 150gl. Thank you very much, Jim
Very kind of you. thank you so much.
Appreciated. Thank you very much!
That´s why reefers don´t do drugs! ... we spend all the money in corals and tank equipment! lol
Thank you, Steve.
Over two years ago I purchased 2 porites heads on the same very day. Don´t know why, one never had problems, but the other one totally bleached and I decided to glue a little montipora spongodes frag to one side of the then ugly rock. Since then the monti has covered most of the Christmas tree worms tubes (3 or 4 are not covered by the monti yet).
Thank you very much. I am running six Hydra52 modules.
Muito Obrigado. Valeu! Grande Abraço!
Eu uso Reactor de Calcio e dentro como media utilizo ARM Extra Coarse. Tem sido suficiente para manter Ca, KH e MG, no entanto outros elementos têm de ser adicionados (Potassium e outros elementos minoritários). Muito obrigado por tão amáveis palavras.
Muito obrigado pelas amáveis palavras, caro amigo. Até há cerca de um mês atrás eu apenas utilizava uma mistura feita em casa para alimentar os corais e peixes; salmão, camarão, amejoas, artemia e bastante nori, tudo comprado no mercado. Agora tenho experimentado com alguns produtos da marca Fauna Marin; Reef Vitality, Color elements, Coral Balance mas por incrivel que parece certas cores de certos corais tem piorado.

hahaha I was wrong, that's my LPS - LONG TENTACLE PLATE CORAL (Heliofungia actiniformis), gorgeous coral IMHO!
ah ah ah... please tell me the exact time in the video as I think we are talking about the Acropora Valida (tri-colour), one of my favourites. :)
Thank you very much, Wesley!
Thanks Rad, This week colours are looking worse but I am on it... my water was depleted of Potassium and other trace elements, and I think I have to blame the more aggressive skimming I was doing and too much use of flocculants. Today I have changed 50% of the water using my previous, cheaper and trusted salt and tomorrow I am changing another 20% and redo schedules. Nobody knows better our corals than ourselves! hahahaha
I hear you, it's funny how we know our tanks. To me yours tank looks amazing with beautiful colors..... People tell me, mine has nice colors and I don't see it... Lol. Honestly your tank looks great...
Thank you very much, Rad! I confess I am struggling with the colours. I used to have better colours when the dosing was just fish poo and my blend, now that I am dosing some of the best products available, things aren´t looking so good. I think it will take me another six months to figure out what am I doing wrong at the moment.
Thank you very much, Patrick. They have been with me for some three years and to protect them I cannot keep some fancy fish but I love them. There is a baby one born 2 years ago but is still barely visible.
Thank you very much!
