100 gallons Acros Tank

[Janci]

Old school Pink Lemonade

I love this Pink Lemonade.
How do you have this placed concerning flow/lighting/PAR?

 

[Mr V]

Pc rainbow growing in the shade. I have the mother colony for over 2 years under high lighting and all it has is red. I kind of surprised a frag can pull out this color under less light.

The second pic is not pink lemonade.
I don’t know exactly how much PAR, but I have pretty high lighting.
I always try my best to get strongest indirect flow possible in my system. I notice with more flow, acro will grow more bushy instead of long branches.
Here is the mother colonies in my other system. High light and high flow.

That is not pink lemonade? Does it have a name? It looks nice.

I meant this one is not pink lemonade.

It doesn’t have name. I don’t a chance to see it fully color up yet. Just come back from fully brown.

 

[bubbaque]

Ah ok. For some reason I missed that you were quoting someone else's question.

 

[Giddyup]

V.,

Few questions back, you turn off skimmer when high temp? Why is that?

To prevent heat from its pump. Sound minor, but I try to turn off everything that I necessarily and heat up the water.

Let’s celebrate Labor Day with some colorful pictures! [emoji18]
Pics were taken under blue light, no saturation added, I try my best to mimic the color I see when blue and violet LEDs are on.
Enjoy.
Rr Pretty in Pink. Currently the most bright coral in my tank right now. Truly glowing.

Group shots for comparison. Next to it are Walt Disney (left) and RRA Rainbow Blossom(right)

Vivid confetti is the next shinning coral. Beautiful red!

Up hight of the tank is my smoothskin. Interesting acro with yellow tips and pinkish body/base. Hope you notice the blue polyps.[emoji7]

Unknown tenuis with very cool teal body and pink coralline.

Another unknow acro with yellow polyps.

BkChem Black Sabbath, I am so lucky didn’t lose it during the crash. Slowly coming back.

Fantastic corals... use you a orange filter to make this photos under blu/actinic leds?

 

[Aleks]

Very beautiful shots. Master!

Yes. I use orange filter when taken pictures under blue/actinic light. It’s a must if you want to take pictures under blue lights.

Very beautiful shots. Master!

Thank you sir. It’s a very big compliment.

Most homes could probably handle this kind of weight, but its 1000lbs in a small space.

I have a 75 gallon sump in my basement. I built the legs for the shelf all the way up to add some support for the tank.

You cannot go wrong over building. You'll sleep better too knowing you took the extra effort.

Your thread was posted on REEF2REEF instagram! Congratulations it’s well deserved with corals like that

Success begins with a plan and you are WELL on your way. Reinforcing floors was impressive and we buy what we can afford and accommodate. This will be a great tank build.

How did you like the AF glue for your rocks?

You are so right about sleeping well at night. I did a tons of research on how much weight manufacturing home can handle (with no clearly results, just “depending on this, that,...”) but then I decided to reinforce it anyway since it will help me sleep better.[emoji28]
Plus I have 2 tanks in relatively small area.

Oh man, it is awesome!

Actually the materials weren’t too much at all. Just hard to know where all the beams located. And the space is is a little tight to maneuver.
I don’t like the AF glue. I feel it’s too easy to break. It also very hard to use and not “sticky enough” to hold the rocks. When I did my rock scape, beside plastic rods in the middle of two pieces, I used coral glue and reef epoxy get them in place first then fill he gaps with AF cement. Finally I used “liquid nails” silicon to secure the whole structure.

Great fish room. I thought so on the glue

Wow. You have some really high-end sticks. Bravo!

How long is your tank with the 3 radions? 60”?
