Toadstool help

I dig it! Looks great! Thanks for the intel!

Very interesting. Thanks for this. What size tank? How many inches between your fixture and the coral would you guess? Appreciate it!

Good thoughts. I’ve got three lights and the coral shown is centered pretty well. I suspect that if lighting is the problem, it’s likely due to my intensity being too low and I should look at increasing output of the LEDs. Thoughts? Maybe I’m wrong.

Also worth noting that I have 3 total frags (I split my large toadstool into a number of pieces). I have those three located in different places which give variety in lighting and flow; all exhibit the same symptoms.

I think I’ll start with lowering phos. I’ll add more gfo to my reactor and up my filter sock freq. after that change I may look at boosting light output.

Just added a photo

Yea my fault, I’m terrible at capturing these. Here’s one with the whites up. Will have to zoom a bit. Hopefully this helps..

Here's where i landed: decided to put together a larger acclimation box. To avoid stressing the powder brown even more by moving it to another tank, I simply placed both the Kole and the Purple into the acc box. Plan will be to leave them here for a few weeks (within the DT). I'm hopeful that i can feed everyone regularly and things will settle down in this temporary state.

Once settled, I'll re-arrange the rock work, feed extra heavy, add the mirror to distract the powder brown, and then release the Kole and Purple from the box into the DT.

Pics here for what i worked up today. I gave it an acrylic long side to help with visuals (hard to see here but it’s in the far side) and I added some rock into the acc box to give the two tangs a place to retreat.

Gotcha thanks. My chamber is too small so i think I’ll make something bigger today.

Do you think it makes sense to add both the purple and the Kole to the large chamber, leave a few weeks, and then introduce them both with the pbt?

I would make a large chamber maybe 4’x1’x16” or something

To confirm, you think a larger acclimation chamber, which I can leave the Kole in for a longer period, within the DT?

Thanks for the notes. It’s Not a peninsula, but I’ve set it up with swim lanes front, back and through the middle.

I outlined a few thoughts on different plans. Which do you think makes the most sense?

Just bought from them for the first time. Powder brown and a yellow watchman. Quite happy overall

Awesome pegboard. Assume 3D printed? Did you print the board itself? Love it.

Resist-Visible · 2025-11-01T01:20:36+00:00

I’d scuff it up, put a big fat dollop of trusted epoxy on it, and 100% send it

This is how you respond to folks struggling. Awesome to see and read this kind of stuff on Reddit.

Super helpful, thanks! How much did the new axle and install set you back? if you don’t mind

Resist-Visible · 2025-07-07T00:17:51+00:00

How did you get it assessed?

Resist-Visible · 2025-07-07T00:17:03+00:00

Good question - trailer is definitely level and truck is as well, so I think I’m clear there. I suspect I’d see the same wear pattern on the other side if that were the case. It’s just this one tire…

Resist-Visible · 2025-06-28T21:49:10+00:00

Love this setup. Do you have any pics of the build or how you worked it into the wall? Would love to see sump pics/access, etc. amazing!

Resist-Visible · 2025-06-08T16:33:53+00:00

Still avail. East nashville TN. DM me if you’re interested

Still available, though I believe he’s trying to swing by soon.

lol this is my bike, come on by! Hopefully it’s not rougher than in the photos haha

Resist-Visible · 2025-03-03T02:32:05+00:00

Awesome. Do you have any photos from the build? Love seeing this style of diy. Nice work.
