ya should have my chemicals in line within the next couple days. after a certain amount of time do things really take off?

 

[clowns101]

Yes they can!When the tank ages(and corals get settled in)they will start to grow very fast!

I like that you decided to start with frags.
Months from know you will have these PIC's to look back on and see the growth.
It is a great feeling to see the tank come to life.

AAhh well i thought i would update this bad boy as its been a while, things went rocky for a little while as i got very busy with life and all that jazz. Things are doing exceedingly well now and some of my new equipment has made things that way. things added sence last post include MP-40wES, 4 t5 bulbs (2x ati blue plus, Kz fiji purple, and UVL super actinic) a RKL, an aditional 150w heater, and my brand spankin new Avast DIY cone skimmer with Tunze Hydrofoamer 9410. I have also gotten a couple other ppl into the hobby and im kinda the one they go to for answers so that is very ironic for me. The only good thing i can say about not doing much with the tank is that it allowed it to mature properly and stabilize its chemicals which where going out of control. I am now on a B-Ionic 2 part dosing system which is working very well. and my clownfish are spawning on a very regular basis now :bigsmile: heres some pictures of the whole deal :xd:

This guy is my pride and joy, he was my first true sps coral and is encrusting over the plug hopefully he will start growing verticaly now!!

here is another of my sps that is growing verticaly now thank god! could some one help me ID this guy ?!

Red planet, ik ik hes bleaching a tad, i changes my photo period and he is still adgusting :sad:

Purple Bonsai is starting to color up very well and is showing some growth!!

Ora bird of paradise, very beautiful coral one of my favorites so far

Ora birds nest, growing nice and steady cant wait to see him get big!

I hav no clue what this guy is but its another favorite he has much bluer tips actualy looking at him, he has at least 3 colors going on Could use some help with id on him to!

This guy no joke started out as 5 polyps that only a hobbyist could find. came as a hitch hiker on some live rock!

Tyree war coral still adjusting to new photo period
