Every time I see you've updated this thread I get tank envy...

That is one sweet set up

Thanks very much and thanks for looking. I appreciate your support.

Thanks that one is CM Pacific Chaos - It can be a challenging acro but when it's cooperating it is pretty sweet (at least in my humble opinion). My camera is seldom able to capture the tints of red throughout.
Does best in strong light, high flow, low nutrient environments.

Spent a few moments reflecting on my reef today. :wink:

Here are 2 more except these are a little "more gooder" quality. :lol:

I have been trying for a long time to get a decent picture of my Atlantic blue chromis pair and they never turn out - then like magic this one just happens to swim by photo-bombing my coral shot. Ironically this is the best picture of them I've been able to take.:doh:

http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h210/Trainer02/tank%20journal/tank%20journal%202/chromis%20dragon%20shot_zpsesp1qkpt.jpg

Personally I think the Heliopora coerulea (blue ridge) is a rather under rated coral.

Thanks.
I got the colony off another reefer back in 2005ish and it was about 3-4 inches then. It is now about 14 inches across x 8 inches deep x 12-14 inches tall. Not all blue ridge are created equal as they come in a variety of growth forms. I have another large colony in another tank that mainly just encrusts & plates. I much prefer this type that grows into the finger like columns. It looks very cool top down as well and has always had that that same sort of growth form as in the picture. I personally think it gives a lot of character to the reef even though it's not a pretty color.

Not entirely sure what species that shaggy acro is but the corallites don't match a. horrida but that is a good guess.

It is doing well - grow baby grow!

As always...I am in awe of your tank Greg...How often do you tinker with trimming in order to keep things from destroying each other?

Thanks Mark - it depends on the coral and how well they get along. I often let them duke it out.

What are the names of these sps?

Thanks,

Wow, look stellar Greg! I scrolled back (quite a few) pages but didn't see any mention of what your husbandry is like these days. Care to share? Are you dosing anything ?

Hi Anthony - long time no talk! The first is granulosa, the second is an older version of "Reef Raft Red Dragon" aka A.carduus (in theory) and yeah I know it's pink not red & the 3rd I believe to be a variety of Loripes.
Thanks for looking.

[shiftline]

Beautiful pics!

Thanks - Husbandry has not changed much - still dosing 2 part. I also dose FM Color Elements after my weekly WC.

Greg, stunning as always. Can't get enough of your reef pictures. You have the knack for colour and texture combinations that is very pleasing to see. Keep up the great work.
