So tempting to comment... LOL! The more corals in the system, and the older the system is, the less necessity of live rocks (mature seeded dead rocks or actual natural live rocks from the ocean). The less live rocks in the system, the less should be the sudden changes. Any sudden changes, including removal of corals from that system. Common sense, as always. Live rocks in the system is the best because it will help in case the need to move that system and could be used to possibly seed another system in the future. So many positive aspects, specially in a closed system. Another advantage is when corals are removed out of the system (sold, or to be treated), the presence of rocks will make it more stable for that period of time. We can put a lot of kalkwasser powder in a container with water and it will dissolve only what that amount of the water permits. There is absolutely no danger in letting the precipitated powder on the bottom of the mixing container. It is just a waste, not dangerous to the system, if you don't let that precipitated powder to be introduced in the system. Use only the clear part of the solution above the precipitated powder located on the bottom of the recipient. One more win!!! Keith's favorite light is the metal halide Radium 400W 20K. Ha! Now I know that those LEDs aren't THAT much better then. 😁 Adam, from Battle Corals, the other day said his favorite light is 65K halides. Hehe!! Mike Paletta recently also said the colors of his corals are better under halides. Truth coming out little by little... Thanks boys! GOTTA LOVE ACROS!!!!
Wwc yellow tip is the most underrated tort. Next to Oregon, that’s my favorite tort. I love hearing long term experienced hobbyists speak about the hobby. Well done guys 👍

The so called WWC Yellow Tip is actually an Acropora austera, not A. tortuosa.
@@Alex_Correa well that one had me fooled lol. Thanks for clarification. It always look like a Cali tort with yellow tips to me.
@@jackson6745 No worries.🙏
agreed! similar species though!@@Alex_Correa

Is there any way to get Adam’s corals in the US?
Unfortunately not at this point
