double post

I created a new thread to start discussing the build of a Red Sea Reefer XXL750. I am moving soon and will take this as an opportunity to reboot into something better. Also I doubt Ill be able to place all my equipment in the garage on the next build so its going to be different. I will not be abandoning this thread until it is broken down when I move.

Very nice, thank you for sharing...getting a lot of ideas for my build!

 

[bif24701]

I can’t view any of my own pictures I posted from media. Going to have to fix that.

 

[bif24701]

I think I fix the photo problems

Some pictures I just took with my wifes Cannon Rebel

This is a WWC WD that i have had just a few week, starting to encrust now. Has very bright color under my Kessils @~4-500PAR

Looking good!

Thanks, been a lot of work and time but things have started to pay off with steady growth and color.

When coralline takes over all your rock it really is nice.

 

[bif24701]

Picked up some new Ultra Acropora frags. They have been in a LFS who mostly deals in LPS and softies so they have lost some color due to inadequate lighting. Good for me because I got a great deal.

Left to Right:

WWC Do the Dew
JK Rainbow
WWC Piranha
Unknown
Wasn’t sure but looks like Red Dragon to me.

Red Dragon for sure. WWC Do the Dew gets best color in higher light. I had mine lower and it lost it's pretty colors so i moved it higher.

Thank you for the tip! I just found the list they wrote down for me and they said it was a WWC Snow Dragon, I bet is just a Red planet with a slightly different morph. I assume this one should stay closer to the bottom then?

 

[bif24701]

This is supposed to be snow dragon,

I don’t think that’s it. Mine is a Red Planet which if fine, I don’t have it before and didn’t pay a premium price for it.

I’ve got this new coral but totally forgot what it is, not even what kind of thing. I assume it is a type of SPS. Could use some help on this as I have found nothing like it on the interwebs.

Ok so my buddy that owns the store I bought it said it’s a Watermelon psammocora. Not very common so I didn’t recognize it so when he told me the name I proceeded to promptly forget it. I did remember some care instructions, preferring lower light conditions I did place it on the back side of a rock in a lower light area. Seems to be very happy for now.

 

[bif24701]

What do you guys think of it? I like it, supposed to be fairly hardy and a fast grower. Anyone else have this type of coral (psammocora)?

Fish pics!
