Couldn't agree more, so many people just go and buy up colonies and slap them in, are these surviving, growing or dying.That tank is kind of excessive.
If the owner assured me that over five years he collected frags and grew most of these from other captive specimens, then that would be cool. Somehow, I doubt that is the case.
To be fair, if he didn't know what he was doing all those euphyllia would start bailing out with all the nute consumptionCouldn't agree more, so many people just go and buy up colonies and slap them in, are these surviving, growing or dying.
Well, we may never know. But I hope you are right, and that they start propagating off those beauties, but... there is one other serious issue with that tank- where is the real space for that coral to even grow? That Euphyillia garden in particular. Will he even get splits and new heads with them show-horned in there?To be fair, if he didn't know what he was doing all those euphyllia would start bailing out with all the nute consumption
Very true. Would be so sad to see something bad happen like thatI am old school and have never pushed the envelope or have the money to blow on trying, but, I guess my point is- even if I did- I would be cautious. This kind of setup looks like it probably exists on a razors edge. One little slip and the whole beautiful lot goes to brown jelly.
No hating here, just trying to learn if this is even possible (long term successful sustained husbandry on a display like this), or is it just a risky treasure chest? Hawaii will reopen, give it a few months. Generally- if you look at my first post, you will see I am concerned for all of us being able to get specimens and question if this approach is the way to sustain our hobby- or wreck it for our kids and theirs.Pshhhhhhh. My 3 Hawaiian Yellow Tangs will be worth twice that in a couple years.
Lol, we’re all just hating.
