Stunning! I love all of your old colonies that have encrusted up against each other.
Just gorgeous!
I think I’ve seen your thread in the other forum but for some reason I haven’t seen it in a looong time... could be because you haven’t posted..
Anyways nice job!

I’m debating on a dastaco Carx. You use the media they recommend or something different? Very nice corals too!

I use the recommended media. It’s mined calcium carbonate tested to ensure no contaminates. The DaStaCo is a great reactor. Pricey but well designed and constructed. Worth every penny.

Great tips and great looking healthy coral !!

These pics prove that beautiful stuff can still come from mariculture. That and wilds are all I really get and I am rarely disappointed in the end. You do have to have a good eye and experience with a lot of corals before you can spot the nicest stuff though, you have proven to have a good eye with this thread. I want some more pics!

Took these tonite. I have three of the picachu/Pink Floyd corals. They look pretty identical to me.

I had a pink Millie shading one of my Confetti colonies so I broke it off at the base and traded it to Vivid for some frags.

The remaining schmear is pretty cool.

Last one for tonite, a fascination favia that’s really outgrown its plug!

Cant wait for more. Your acros are an inspiration to keep perfecting.

 

[joseserrano]

nice. Any full tank shots and hardware shots?

Nice acros, would you mind sharing your light schedule?

Did you read the thread?

Is that homewrecker in the 3rd pic or some other tenuis?

 

[Blackice615]

Clearly you missed details in your postings...for an example...white, red, and green balance...feel free to share if its not too much work to define the remaining settings

do you test or dose for potassium?

 

[VTBig053]

Wow! This is the largest colony of fox flame I’ve ever seen. Well done, sir!

It’s TGC RJ1. I bought it from TGC at Reefapalooza a couple of years ago. Very slow grower for me so far. I recently gave it a clip so hopefully it will take off.

Here are some full tank shots and shots of the equipment.

Not often. It’s not an easy test to run! I’ll do an ICP test a couple of times a year. Probably should test more often.
