Dez, you need to sign up with a marine conservation group. I think you can single handedly save all the reefs of the world!! :biggrin:

I have seen this tank in person and it is nothing short of amazing. Even took a water sample to have it tested for nuclear material:mrgreen:
Christy this is one of those tanks that deserves to be TOTM |

Thanks for the nice comments all. I still think the tank has more maturing to do for the forrest to get "denser" and colonies to get larger. Here are more random shots from yesterday:
Just traded one of my Squamosas for this teardrop: http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1274626417 I have high hopes for this piece as I've never really seen a "rust" coloured acro like this before: http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1274626465 This one is going to fill the upper column of my display. I like the colour and growth pattern. it is one that I split with a friend so it's growing out into a normal store sized colony now: http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1274626508 I'm considering getting rid of this "frost polyp acro" from Lobsterboy. I like the growth pattern but I'm undecided on the colour right now: http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1274626585 I really like this green and orange tipped acro. Not sure if it's a tabling acro yet. Got it as a frag. http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1274626644 I got this Maxima when it was only 1", looking forward to it growing out. http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1274626751 My cap forrest. http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1274626811 Another favourite - that neon green acro. I'm definitely gonna let this grow out and prune around it. http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1274626851 This green hairy stag I almost got rid of cause it was brownish for about 5 months until I added a bit of iron. I love it now! http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1274626919 Believe it or not, this piece was from Big Al's. I have a friend that used to work that and they were having a 33% off sale to clear the broniporas out. http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1274626972 Close up of my Derasa http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1274627034 Monti http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1274627066 I love this purple tipped hairy acro. It maintains this beautiful colour on the sand bed with not too much light. It goes sort of teal in higher light, but I like this much better. It was a brown freebee that I got with my purchase of other corals. http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1274627099 Love the variety in this shot http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1274627250 Not much room on the sandbed, this kind of bothers my wife, but I like it http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1274627288 Another top down, can you see the clam in the far left upper (you see just the mantle) http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1274627335 Derasa (from Red Coral) http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1274627415 This guy's always on the glass http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1274627456 Another teardrop http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1274627489 |
Looks Awesome Buddy

I was doing a bit of re-aquascaping to allow more room for some of my corals to grow out and had this out in a bucket. It was surprising to me how much this grew cause when I bought it, it fit nicely in a medium sized fish bag. Now it's almost edge to edge in the bucket.
http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1274647683 |
DEZ what is the K rating on your MH bulbs to get you that fast growth, with my LPS I'm thinking of upping the K rating to a 10K
|
Hey Mike, I use cheap China bulbs (14K supposedly) I use 20K cheap china bulbs on my frag tank and still getting alright growth. My friend ordered them from somewhere (they were around $20 per bulb). Hope this helps.

Since I sold some frags recently. I used that money to invest more into my reef. Here are some pictures of the goodies. I'm pretty excited.:biggrin:
Here is a tabling acro: http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1275704884 http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1275704976 Another purchase today - Hawaiian Flame Wrasse. Absolutely no one is bothering him in my tank. I was quite worried about my twin spot hog bothering him but I got lucky. He was eating frozen food at the store so I'll keep my fingers crossed. Sorry for the fuzzy picture, he's a fast swimmer. http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1275705117 I also bought a clam last week: http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1275705171 And another one: http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1275705217 And a pink pocci: http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1275705249 Pretty excited about my purchases. I bought a couple of other things that are sitting in my frag tank to see if they colour up at all. We'll see. Thanks for looking. |
Thou shalt not covet thy forum members tank! :mrgreen:
Beautiful Tank Dez! |
A few random quick shots from tonight:
Yellow Acro - good growth tips http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1275705398 Unknown smooth yellow acro http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1275705458 Purple Pocci, my friend started this as a tiny frag, and it was about half this size when I got it a few months back. http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1275705488 Elegance - my one clown fish goes in here once in a while. http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1275705512 Standard run of the mill pokerstar - I have a feeling my other corals are gonna shade this one :(, but I can't get it off because it's encrusted all over my live rock. http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1275705716 Unknown baby blue/teal stag. Started as a small tiny white frag that I found out a day later was INFESTED with red bugs the next day. Treated the whole tank for red bugs and this coloured up so nicely. Defnitely one of my favs. http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1275705820 Green Hulk Monti - I have no idea what kind of monti it is but I am diggin these growth tips pattern. This coral has changed so much since I got it. http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1275705901 Lemon Lime Gemmifora I think - LOVE this coral. Slow grower. But I'm finally getting multiple growth tips and encrustation. http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1275705969 I call this my Rusty Acro - when I got it from my friend, it was rust colour, now it's got a pink hue to it. I'm excited for this to grow out. It's probably grown by a third already. http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1275706021 Snappy's Orange Grove - this was just a single nub when I got it. I am digging the thick growth. http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1275706079 Rare baby-blue polyped digi - what a fast grower. I've always liked the digi's growth patterns. http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1275706133 Lobsterboy-bi's pineapple express - this started out as one branch. I like it. http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1275706181 I have no idea what this is, but I like it. ID anyone? http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1275706237 |
My bluey-purple milli with pink tips. I wish I could let this grow to fill the tank, but unfortunately no upgrading for me. What a fast grower. 1 foot accross now.
http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1275706367 First picture I've ever taken of my blotched anthias. I've had a pair of them for a few months already http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1275706463 My purple acro with yellow tips. This thing has grown like crazy as well. It's encrusted onto 3 different pieces of live rock now, so the good thing is I won't be having a rock slide there. I've been pretty fortunate (or maybe skilled) - I have only stacked all of my rock together and never zip tied or glued any together and I haven't had a rock slide yet *knock on wood* http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1275706548 This is the first picture I've taken of my firefish (I forgot what the actual name is. I bought this fish so long ago and did the quick research before buying it but I've got such short term memory that I don't remember). Maybe it's a Helfrichi? http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1275706669 My sun coral which hides in a cave http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/t...g?t=1275706758 Thanks for looking all. |

Amazing tank. Very nice man.
Do you have any shrimp in there? Curious on account of the flame hawk. |
