Man I gotta get out to NJ and see your stuff , it looks just great!

 

[RARECLOWNSNJ]

Vice versa. If i find another mertens id ditch them but i would like to find two more with the same color base. Im also considering some drastic but cool with my rock work.

Mags love flat surfaces so i need to find a flat piece of rock.

I got mine bleached also. Only about 4" across. Been about 6 months under a 250mh and color is starting to come back slowly.
Only problem is it's favorite spot is on the end of the outlet pipe of my return. Can't get much closer to the light as the tentacles sway on the water surface.

MBG, they love flat surfaces and some love to be infront of direct flow like infront a vortech.

For some reason they love to attach to flat surfaces.

Your right, was on the glass for the longest time.
Here's an old pic, I'll get a new one up later.

Nice purple base mag.

Its hard to move them because hes happy where he is but see if you can build up your rock work and put a flat peice on top and put him right below the output.

Its hard to explain, but they literally need to be right below the light infront of flow on a flat surface.

[mbg75]
