My first try with SPS, looking okay.

[Pennywise the Clown]

When I set my Reefer 250 up 14 months ago it was going to be an easy, softy and maybe the odd LPS tank.
But then the thought comes to me "maybe I can keep SPS too"
And then my first birds nest starts to thrive and the next thought is "well maybe acros, just to see"
And then the SPS bug bites (hard)
These might not be the fanciest corals in the world, and definitely not the best photos.
But I'm more than happy.

Nice start, keep us updated on the growth.

Looking great! Whats the top acro?

Exactly how I started with SPS. Monti caps first, then a stylo, and now acros...

Monti's, stylo's and acro's oh my! lol Typing that out and in my mind I was doing Dorthy in wizard of OZ.

And they look fine.

Thank you. My display has definitely come a long way since my dino woes late last year.
The top frag was sold to me as a millepora and was fragged from the display at my lfs. No fancy name. It is burgundy with a green/yellow base.
When it was first introduced my yellow clown goby tore off almost every polyp. It's just about recovered now and starting to grow.

They look great. Keep the pics coming

My tank is coming back from dinos too!

Yeah, you helped me a lot on the dino thread. I've changed my forum name.
I'm still paranoid that they will return. I'm constantly battling low nutrient levels.

I'd say those are looking better than okay! Beautiful. Which lights are you running on your 250? I have the same tank and I'm always interested to see what others are running. I've been running 2 Kessil a360w's and I'm happy so far. I'm considering adding them to a t5 hybrid for a more even spread but I'm not in any rush.

I'm running 2 x Hydra 26's. I've been guilty of messing around with them but now I have settled on a schedule and kept to it, things are taking off.

looks good and its hard to tell from your pic, just careful on that red monti placement. I learned this with my first tank. But I keep it lower because eventually it will start plating and shadow the heck out of anything below it.

 

[Pennywise the Clown]

Thanks.
The monti is about half way up but directly over my zoa garden. Might have to think about moving it.

I added T5 hybrid to my kessils. Very happy I did that!
