SPS Tank Shots

[PSU4ME]

Hi guys,
I haven't posted a lot over here but I'm trying to! Have the day off today so I thought I'd throw up a few pics of my tank and corals. I'm packed up due to the large colonies and I have a battlecorals order that I haven't even found a home for yet. Anyway, here are some pics

FTS

Couple of colonies

Recent fragging casualty!

I'm going to try and take a few more pics today

Nice tank, Where did you get the frag holder/rock on your overflow?

 

[PSU4ME]

Thanks. The frag rack is from gooch at alternative reef

 

[phillrodrigo]

I wish my accidental frags were that huge. It looks big enough with the huge chunk missing. Maybe some room for that battle corals order and some frags to help pay for it.

 

[PSU4ME]

Yeah I'm trying to make room but these big colonies shade a lot! I like the big colony look though..... Need a bigger tank!

 

[TUSI]

Very nice tank. How old is it

 

[hatfielj]

That orange/yellow milli is gorgeous! Did you start these colonies from frags or mini colonies? Nice work!

 

[Jp978]

I notice you have very little nuisance algae r u running ulns? Seems the trend is waiving towards more nutrient wondering ur take on it?

Amazing tank btw!

LOL maybe I'm blind but if that tank has nuisance algae than my tank is an algae forest.

I love the large colonies that aren't overly trimmed. Keep up the good work!

PSU, what lights are you running? looks like led/t5 combo? what t5 tubes do you use?

 

[PSU4ME]

Thanks guys! Here are some answers. It's been up for 2.5 years and everything grew from a frag. Lighting started off as 2 radion gen 1's over my 120. It's a miracles tank cause I wanted a center overflow. Light have migrated to adding two t5 supplements and as of the past month it is at 4 t5 with gen 2 radions with wide angle lenses. The system is traditional, weekly 10% water changes, sro 2000, carbon and a small amount of Gfo. In the beginning I kept po4 low but lately I've eased up to add a little more food. Lots of flow and I try to keep it consistent,

The big orange/green colony is a Rommel rainbow, other is a wet thumbs ssc and the pink one is the original bbg Millie.

O WOW !!!!!:tongue: That Wet Thumb SCC looks amazing. I think I have found another favor coral. It almost looks like the Peal Berry. Is it a hardier or pickier Coral? Is it a slow grower like Pearl Berry? Pearl Berry is one of my top favorites. One of these days I will get a piece to grow out. But now it look like I have another one on the list to try and pick up to grow out I like the full colony look. The rest of your tank is amazing too, you are doing something right. I don't know if you would have to change a thing. Don't fix what aint broke that's how things really break. I have the Gen 2 Radion too. I just switch over to the wide angel lens and my coral started to get better color to them. What is you settings and how high do you have it from you water line/ sand bed?

That SSC is rockin! What was the size of the original frag? Impressive growth regardless!

 

[PSU4ME]

It actually grows pretty well for me. My radions are about 10" from the water and max out at 68%.

I'm all honesty, it grew from a 1-1.5" frag. Once happy she grew great. A little sensitive to intensity changes but recovers in about a week or two!

??? I said tank has very little nuisance algae




How many fish do you have just trying to figure out why my nutrients r high I think I've just added to many lg fish to my tank do u keep any larger fish?

 

[PSU4ME]

Yeah I don't have much algae in there. Whatever grows is taken care of quickly by the CUC and if they don't like it the foxface mows it down

 

[ritter6788]

That's good stuff there. Well done! You should get a tank thread started here also. Would love to follow along.

A few pics of some of the recent frags I've been trimming.
