My Little Slice Of LPS Heaven

Really good. I do like the curly gorg.

Cheers kev,they are nice the curly gorgs the pics not great on this one
as in real life if you will its a lovely bright yellow but you get the idea,
i tried to get an orange one but it had been reserved,mores the pity
so will keep my eyes peeled for another as i have seen these in about 6-7 different colour strains so theres plenty of choice
Rich.. :-D

I know Ocean Corals have stocked these Gorgonians in the past.

Looking at your pics I am on the verge of kicking into touch my FOWLR system. Ah well it was a good idea at the time.

I dont know if anyone knows or not,or is even remotly bothered lol, but i'm still manually doseing suplliments
to my tank and have got to the stage where it is now doing my nut in
so i thought i'd decided on getting a calcium reactor after months of debating with myself, but after looking into it a little more and having spoke with my local lfs have just about decided to go with the balling lite method instead
my lfs are doing a balling lite starter pack for only £39.99
so its obviously cheaper than setting up a calc reactor with all the relevant bits and pieces required (gauges gas etc etc )
and if it shows no decent results after 2-3 months i'll ditch the balling and bite the bullet with the calc reactor,
but my question is,at last i hear you say,
is balling any good for just lps.
anyones thoughts appreciated Rich.. :?:

My question is whats the balling lite method, never heard of that one?

Hey kev theres so many times i have thought about going the other way
fowlr, but it has never happened yet i think once you go for the corals
theres no turning back buddy the addiction really starts lol
Yes paul has stocked these thats where i got mine from
i remember when he first started marines and brought his family round to mine to buy a bucket load of frags
hows times change :-D

balling lite is an easier way of doseing suppliments to your tank
to keep the parameters stable
has shown some great results on some tanks tbfair

certainly is, a good friend too,great prices also
tidy shop aswell which helps

Lovely looking tank.

Will be interested to see how you get on with Balling lite. I am adding manually myself.

I don't think it matters if you have LPS or SPS to be honest, cal and mag is calc and mag it is just a metod of adding them to suffiecient levels.

I think your right t.i. i just feel i could squeeze a bit more out of my tanks corals with a little more effort and some different suppliments tbh
so will see what happens,should be picking up a starter pack on monday all being well
Rich. :-D

 

[TigerIssey]

I think the method is supposed to give you more stable levels than adding manually.

Will be interested to see your results.

 

[Boxing Shrimp]

I think we'll both be interested to see the results then :-D
i still feel a bit aprehensive though,sometimes its better the devil you know,if ya catch my drift,but then again progress doesnt come without change or does it???

 

[Boxing Shrimp]
