[@milkspotscausemetospazzout6813]

Does anyone know if a Green Sinularia Finger coral can touch a Pink Sinularia Finger Coral ? I want to put them next to one another with some space in between but am afraid they may touch eventually .

[@mikecuttone2550]

I didn't have a problem but would recommend random vigorous flow.

What is the name of coral in 4:21 ????????

[@pizzeriabelgiardino8004]

what creates that great water flow in this tank, I don't see any powerheads

[@mikecreeftank2560]

IL Giardino I'm using a 6 OUTLET FWX DIGITAL FLOW Diverter from Derkroon

[@ohbboogey166]

How long did it take for your corals to get that size? Or did you purchase them like that?

[@mikecreeftank2560]

Tank is 6 years old soft coral grows relatively quick in the right conditions. None were purchased that big. This is not a instaReef

[@kamarnic]

The fish must think they died and went to heaven, beautiful tank

[@francescodivincenzo5765]

Hi Mike, measure? Size.

[@barryhutchinson3977]

Good job! So how big is the loan from the Bank?

[@mikecreeftank2560]

Barry Hutchinson No loans Barry lol you gotta do this a little at a time. Nothing good involving reef keeping happens quickly ;)

[@barryhutchinson3977]

How true. I got rid of my 110 gallon reef 15 years ago ( too old for all the hard work ) started a 12 gallon nano a month ago, so starting from scratch again. The joy of being a Reefer.

[@dab914]

hi mike,looks stunning,whats your p04 and n03 levels

[@mikecreeftank2560]

dab914 I haven't checked them in years lol I only go by how dirty my glasses gets and needs cleaning if it is dirty and needs cleaning every 3 or 4 days my phosphates are good

[@serenabowman2214]

Absolutely stunning 👌what are you dosing and how much you dosing ?

I can never keep clove polyps... They keep getting covered in algae and just shriveled and die :(

If your polops are getting covered by alge I would recommend more flow.

I replace my fox face about every six or seven months they just get too big and I change them out for a smaller one I will not have it tank without him they are great algae eaters and rock cleaners
