[Mr.Acro]

Your reef looks great! How long you had the scoly? It is beautiful

Thanks ! The bleeding apple or the orange one behind it ?

Bleeding Apple

Bleeding Apple

Yea it's an insane piece, I picked it up from my lfs in May.

 

[Zero Nitrates]

Does that orange scoly have some yellow in it?

 

[Mr.Acro]

@Zero Nitrates it sure is, the rim has a little and around the edges there is some . You can't really see it in the pictures though.

 

[Mr.Acro]

Just a teaser of the next update. I'll post more soon.

 

[Mr.Acro]

More to come soon!

Nice watanabei pair. How long have you had them?

I've had the male for 2 months and the female for a month. They've been great, they have a lot of personality.

Hi All,

Decided to get back on updating this build thread. I'm going to do a bigger post in the coming days describing the tank's journey and direction going forward. For now here's a I-phone photo dump to kick things off.

Here are some shots from today with my DSLR. Video on its way with a summary of whats been going on with the tank!

 

[Mr.Acro]

Been around a year since last post. Tank has just been on cruise control since I've been at school but it gets plenty of love over the summers when I'm back. Latest photo dump below.

Left Island shot, everything has really taken off including the Jason Fox, fox flame.


The bangaii pack has dwindled from 3-1. Our remaining individual has really started to hangout under the Strawberry shortcake.



The strawberry shortcake quickly becoming the center piece of the tank.


The $500 efflo is finally starting to show some Efflo like growth,



Crazy colors out of the ORA Borealis

Even after repeated fragging the Miami hurricane continues to take up a significant amount of the sand bed.


Blue maxima and Jacko lantern Lepto.


Closer in on the Fox Flame, the growth has been outstanding as of late.



Our resident Wyoming Whites in the elegance.

Cherry Corals Retina Blaster Suharsonoi.

Sexy Corals Orange Passion getting some nice encrusting growth going.

GARF Bonsai has recovered nicely from a slight bleaching event back in May.


Big shot of the right island, a lot of new growth popping up. Hopefully this will be unrecognizable in a couple of months.

 

[Mr.Acro]

Real explosion of growth for everything in the tank. Below are some macro shots taken with the Laowa 24mm probe and my Nikon D810.

Just as a reminder, the laowa probe has a 7k led ring around the tip of the lens, so the color is much more akin to sunlight coloration.
