Reefanatik SPS Journey

[Reefanatik]

Just like the title says, i'm starting a thread to keep up with my SPS Journey. I will take pictures every couple of months to see how much growth i have, document issues and take constructive criticism to help me grow these sticks as best as i can.

Just fragged this one for a fiend a couple of days ago. hopefully it will take off like a millipora i fragged and had great growth afterwards.

This one was almost a goner and has started coloring back up.

This one was looking bad also and is recovering.

a few months ago it only had a few heads on it. Drastically turned around.

I've only had this one for about a month and it lost all its color soon after i bought it. It is a strawberry shortcake. i will take a picture when i have my Radiums on to get a better idea of what it looks like with more light.* other than LEDs.

FHC Highjacker. Placed in tank Sept. 29th.

Thanks Plata01. What are doing up this early on a Saturday? Keeping an eye out on your new skimmer. LOL

Looks like a good start.

Looks like you have lots of little pieces to start with, it's hard for me to see any color in these photos though. It's definitely rewarding to grow stuff from small pieces.

I'm going to take some pics with my Halides (20K radiums) and T5s today to show a better picture of true color. These were taken under LED only and can be difficult to capture true color. At least for me it is. I have had very minimal growth due to different issues but I think I'm finally seeing growth on some and hope it continues.

Well i took pictures with my MH Radiums and T5 supplements on. I run my MHs for 4.5 hours and my T5s for 12. My LEDs run for 4 hours total dusk and dawn.

Wow, night and day, the halide pics are spot on! Thanks for taking the time to take all of them, I like the one you fragged a piece off of.
Why don't you try upping the hours your halides run? What LEDs are you using?
