I started dosing "Prodibio" a month ago and I am starting to see some changes for the better in the reef. I think I always had my best display tank results when I was carbon dosing back in 2007/2008 but the cost of the Polyp - labs "reefresh" in a larger tank was just too steep however I think Prodibio may be the answer. I also like that the dosing only needs to be done every two weeks instead of daily.

My "peek a boo" blenny -
 

I love the personality blennies have, when this one isn't in it's little cave it likes to lean against this coral and I assume it thinks I can't see it. :lol:

Pretty much started the display from scratch again this year so the tank has a long way to go but things are now finally stable again. Here is a side view shot.

I have to say this is one nice setup Greg.

i have a 3 full kits of the polyp lab refresh stuff left i was thinking on running on my small 25g according to the charts the few kits i have could last 2-3yrs. im worried about the food whether or not it expires( i imagine it does quickly) but ive been using it for a month now and so far so good hehehe:P

:jaw: OMG. Beautiful. Me. Want.

Thanks for your kind words.:biggrin:

Be sure to keep it refridgerated.

Thanks very much - Welcome to Canreef!

Greg I can't believe your keeping that blue mini carpet all to yourself! It's unlike you not to share.:mrgreen:

Greg your tank is truly a masterpiece and very inspirational! I hope my tank looks as beautiful one day!

Did you catch that crab?

We'll see how big it gets. I'm starting to think it is just a juvenile carpet and not a mini maxi. That said it is pretty cool. :wink:

Thanks Sheena. If things stay stable, keep coloring up and filling in then the coralscape I have planned should eventually come together but it has a long long way to go.

No I haven't even tried to catch that crab :twised: yet but I did glue a few colonies down that are near his den so he quits pushing them over and/or into each other.

I can't get my controller/doser to work so I have been manuallydosing for about a month now (I should thank my wife who does it when I am away) but as seen in this & the last posts although things are still on the mend the colors in the display are starting to fill in again. :smile:

wow, wish mine looked anything like that!! Maybe one day

Mine is located in heavy flow about mid tank under a 14K 250 w HQI MH. Just give it some time and patience.:lol: I know the patience part is easier said than done.

I like this one!

Here is another variety of A.microclados I think should have some potential

This is another coral to watch - believed to be A. scherzeriana

The tips on this cerealis are getting metalic hues (camera skills suck)

This one hasn't even made it out of the prop system yet but I'm digging the pink corallites contrasted with red polyps and it's starting to get some blue growth tips
http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h2...bluemille1.jpg
I love what this Cyphestrea colony is doing right now.

It should be interesting to see how this guy colors up.

nothing fancy but even with the coral being brownish I do like the color contrast with the dark purple tips (looks better in person)

Is the the supergrape milli? I didn't think it survived your "crash". Did you ever figure out what caused your troubles anyways?

No that isn't the supergrape, it's a different very hairy mille' - pink base with baby blue polyps. There were too many things that went wrong to list here but I believe I have them sorted out now. (knock on wood):biggrin:

Hehehehehe... Boob Coral (seriously, that's what it translates too)

Awesome pics. I hope my PPS colours up like yours!

Thanks.
You may have noticed it certainly has a lot of them. As time progresses I will post some transitional shots to keep you "a-breast" of the growth and such. Eventually I will make some frags available so I'm sure you'll want one and then likely write back to say thanks for the "mammories" :lol:

I am confident your PPS will become very colorful but it does seem to like to take it's time.

Oh man.... :razz:

And yes, would love a frag of the "Titty Twister" Enchino

mine is starting to get some real nice color im trying my best to leave it and let it do its thing lol

I've got mine under heavy flow and about mid height in the tank under 250W halide + 4 T5s. What about you Denny?

Kevin I'm sure yours will start coloring up real soon. My piece with the most color is mid tank in heavy flow under 250 W MH. That said I 'm sure it must be getting some T5 lighting as well from the rear tank fixtures.
What kelvin are your MH bulbs?

I use Phoenix 14K 250W and 4xT5 (KZ Superblue)

Same MH bulb so I think it should start performing very soon. :wink:

pretty much the same , lots of flow and 1 x 250w halide(20000k) just minus the t5's so my tank runs full blast from 8-9 to 8-9, im kinda limited to everything in my tank being crazy close the the light, this piece robably sits 8-9" directly under thee bulb itself.

its new to me but is getting color fast , will see how it does so far so good:)
