My SPS dominant 180g

So I think I am going to try to add a couple more wrasse to my tank and maybe move some of the blah corals to the frag tank to make room for some more higher end corals I want.

I have been looking at a couple from Cherry Corals, look like they have great colors on their pieces without a ton of blue lighting.
 
Their pics look accurate imo. There are a couple I wish I could get rid of but they are encrusted too much.

Have you bought from them before? I have the Disney JR and its starting to look really nice. Yup I made that mistake too and put it straight on the rock and not a big frag plug.
 
Tank is looking good! Love the sticks!!! I've purchase quite often fron cherry corals and the pieces always come in looking as good or better than the pics. Very accurate pics and good guys to deal with! I was able to snag a homewrecker for a great price from them last live sale, they did a super low (relatively) price on 2 hw frags because they were basically green 3/4 inch frags. Within 2 weeks the pinks are already coming out. I've had great success with frags from CC.

Following your progress here! Thanks for posting the thread!
 
No I have never bought from them. I have a few corals they have listed on their site and it looks accurate, if anything their pics are kind of dull.

Awesome, I appreciate the insight and of course the compliments.

Hoping to have the couple corals moved in the next couple weeks so I can buy some new higher end ones.

I was thinking the same thing for a couple but then some of the ones I have that they have, theirs are a lot darker. I am interested in their paramaters, especially n03 and p04 because their tyree pinky the bear and a couple others I have are a lot darker in their pictures

Little update with some pictures. Tank is doing great, just have to slowly increase the drip rate of the calcium reactor and also decrease the PH inside of it to keep up with alk demand.

All of these pictures are shot with my iPhone X and under all 8 bulb T5s with reefbrites.

Walt Disney Jr. I think this one is going to look really good in a couple months when it’s a lot bigger.

Oregon Tort, love how blue it is.
 
It looks like you got it figured out now. Might be one of the nicest WD I have seen, well done!

Oregon Tort, love how blue it is.
I do not think that is an ORegon tort the structure is might different and those pe makes me think it’s a tenuous of some sort

Either way beautiful Corals

Thank you!

You could be right, I bought it awhile ago as an Oregon tort and it hasnt the PE like it does now since recently when everything has been taking off. I will let it grow out more till I sell any of it anyways so I will know if its just a blue coral or an oregon tort by then
 
It looks like an Oregon tort to me. It just hasn't branched enough to show the characteristic irregular radial corallites.

Nice pieces!
 
Just moved the MattV Rainbow Envy in a higher spot in the middle of the tank, excited to see how it changes over the next couple weeks-months.

The orange polyps its getting and the blue tips are awesome and that is under daylight. I am ready for the other colors to start coming in too.
 
Cleaned the powerheads yesterday honestly as bad as it sounds probably for the first time in at least 6 months. The flow is insane now, I think it may be too much but I am going to leave it and see how the corals handle it over the next week or so. If they can handle this high of flow, I am sure the growth will pick up. They still have great PE, just not as big as before as they are getting blown around alot more.

Matt V Rainbow Envy under all T5s. Thought this picture was a little clearer since it’s farther up in the tank I can get close with the iPhone and not have to zoom so much.
Still not a bad pic. Coral looks very nice.
 
I bought some Aquavitro Fuel as I am having a hard time getting nutrients and also wanted to dose some extra vitamins, elements and amino acids since I barely do water changes. I dont think I have done a water change since at least June.

It definitely is making me scrap the glass more which I am happy about and it seems like the PE is even better then before. My alk demand has been going up a lot recently too.
