My 110 Gallon Peninsula Reef Tank

[sweetride]

Here are a few update photos..... all taken under two ATI Coral+ and two Reef Brite one XHO and one normal output both are all blue.

this one was given to me as RR Avengers, as you can see it's completely different to what you would typically see when you google RR avengers - will ask Jay again to verify........

this one is suppose to be RR Red Dragon.....

this is what I was able to save about a year ago from my old blue tort. If I didn't know any better I would say this is not the same coral....

and this one is the RR Purple Dragon not purple at all.... this is more of my system than anything else as it was purple when I first got it..... hopefully it will bounce back.....

grown from a frag, this is probably one of my bluest coral unfortunately it doesn't completely show in the photo.

this one was id'ed as exquisita acropora from a reliable source

here is the same coral last year as you can see the tips are stating to turn yellow/green. it's just not a pretty blue coral!

here is my icefire echinata with full polyp extention

here is the same icefire echinata without polyps

As much as I like to view the system up close ie. my head right in to the glass!!!!! I also enjoy looking at the system a little further back, so I thought why not share it with you guys and see what you guys thing....


Here is my view from the left side. The TV in on this side of the room, and when ever the baseball game gets out of hand I find my watching the system more the game.

Here is the view from the right side. This is what everyone see when they first walk in to the room.

just to keep this post going, here are a few FTS taken mid year. A handful of the larger colonies have since been removed to make room for some of those SPS in the frag rack. As the holiday is upon us I will have some time to play around again with the camera!

Great tank, very inspirational.
As for the RR corals, they blast their tanks with 250W halides.

Always have loved peninsula tanks. This is by far my favorite.

Here is a quick FTS update! For the most part the system is doing okay I would have to say that the growth rate of the corals are just fine! the front island corals are now officially touching the back island corals! As per color I lost a little bit of color here and there and the most noticeable are deep green on some of the acros, and the purple seems to be on the lighter side. As per the rest of the color dark and light blue, yellow, light green they all seem to be fine. Any suggestion and or recommendation regarding how to tweak the colors of the corals is greatly appreciated!
