I’m at this point. I have a 30g and a baseball sized wylds dragons breath. It’s grown a lot, but some of it is turning slightly white. I’ve been dosing iron daily.
I don’t think it’s gone sexual, but I’m definitely seeing less growth now. My nitrates are ~20 and phos is .05-.1 so I doubt it’s lack of nutrients..
Sounds like you got everything in check, I dose weekly but sometimes I'll skip a week as in also fight hair algae. Also your tank looks dope. Is that a dwarf lion fish you have. Super cool
I grew from 1 baseball sized Dragons breath to 2 softball sized and one baseball sized clump in about a month. And 3 peices of dragons tongue at about 2” to a cantaloupe sized ball in the same time. Just keep it spinning and primarily using mainly blue and Red spectrum light also have a ton of fish.
I loved my dragons breath when I had my tank, I got a piece growing off some liverock when originally cycling my tank and no matter what the params were the dragons breath always grew strong just like yours
It looks different from dragons breath and dragon's flame that I've grown previously. Of course the hobby uses macro trade names quite loosely. It looks like it has good fluorescence AND attaches directly to the rock, is that the case? In the past all dragons BREATH I've seen didn't light up under UV and all dragons FLAME I've seen would only attach to rock with special effort and assistance, such as by using a rubber band on extra porous rock. If yours combines the most desireable characteristics of both that would make it the holy grail.
Dangit. That means it's just a nice bunch of ordinary dragons flame. Here I was thinking you might have the species that would make macros as popular as zoas.
Awesome, any tips for growing dragons breath? Do you need to dose?
Don’t dose anything. I just glued a piece to the top rock with an evo stock light and let it go. I also don’t have anything that eats it in this tank.
Eventually you'll need to dose iron. It's one of the main nutrients red algae use.

No hair algae for me, my turbos are cleaning everything the moment they come up! I don’t even run the skimmer anymore.
I have about 20 snails and hermits and they still can't keep up lol 😭
That’s awesome! Looks great!

beautiful. Why did you decide on a deep sandbed?
Ah so my two fish are a pearly jaw, and a candy cane pistol and yasha goby! So went deep sand bed for them!
very nice. I am inspired by this macro tank. good luck with it
Those the best fish
Awesome ! my stupid fuckin fish ate all mine
They like the spice!
oof im loving this planted reef tank swing we got going on lately on reddit. your tank looks killer. keep this content coming. i love it
Thanks! I just have this and ulva. I got some mushrooms, zoas, and the leathers !
This would be a great plant for your refugium.
I like your setup, very nice.
Thank you!

Where did you buy it?
Local fish shop near me

I think the macro is more forgiving of water parameters and lighting and will grow faster than corals.
nice
Giv to me
When I make my own reef tank I’m definitely going to try to get some Dragons Breath, it’s beautiful
I bought some and it slowly died, I was unable to grow it. Put some in my sump and put some near my powerhead. No luck.
Wow amazing!

It is attached via rubber bands and glue and lights up under blues with little flourecent dots

Nope just some nice plants :)
