I thought this would be fun to look at. The first picture is the tank currently and the second was it about 8-9 months ago. There are no new corals in the tank. They tank has been rescaped numerous times and corals have been removed, maybe even half of them have been sold off but there is not a single new coral in the tank. I didn’t realize the growth was that good? It’s even better when you take into consideration there was a two month period with no growth after I messed up my alkalinity.

Holy GROWTH batman! That radioactive dragon eye colony practically exploded, well everything practically exploded! For such a simple tank you sure know what your doing Chris!

I just bought a new reef bright led (blue) I am going to install it tomorrow and i will take some new pictures for all to see.

Here are some recent pictures i took of the reef. I tried to play with the white balance to get rid of the blue from the actinic.

I also added a reef bright blue Led light and wow does it ever make the corals pop.

I thought I would update some pictures of my reef. I don’t have access to the DSLR so the quality is not very good with my iPhone. I recently had a few corals RTN and I removed a lot of corals to open up the tank. I am still getting great growth with some of my colonies while other just survive. As always comments and questions are welcome.

Nice growth on the sps and zoas, probally the iPhone camera but the pics look really blue....

chris88 11-16-2011 07:55 PM

The camera does exagerate the blue, but i do have a lot of blue running on the tank including a reefbrite all blue led fixture in the front fo the tank. the pics look like crap when the tank settles down i will get the DSLR out and tank some nicer shots.

chris88 11-16-2011 09:27 PM
