Starfire Tank

[Devonious]

So its been awhile since i have updated my thread, unfortunately my camera sucks and the colors are completely wrong.

I have changed my lighting from a Nova 12 bulb t'5 fixture to the Coralife Aqualight Pro 72" HQI. After the change i truthfully hate t'5s with my t'5s i would notice my larger colonies to start to STN from the bottom because the light issues. I find the T'5s make your tank look fake "no offense". I have noticed more color and growth from the metal halides as well i love the natural appearance and shimmer they put off.

My new fixture has three 20K bulbs and PC's. I don't like the PCs but they work, does any one know the best PCs to use? 20K metal halides are the best! I will never go back since my tank is only IN deep the 20K penetrate perfectly, i also like the blue they put off it makes my colors pop.

I have been dosing every single Zeo product and have noticed a huge growth and color difference. My polyp extension is so great i can even see the partition and the full oral disk of the polyp. If only all the zeo products came premixed with the salt.......

Heres some photos

Full tank shots




I am waiting for this to turn into a sunset Monti, when i bought this it was almost white. Now it has vibrant green polyps and the base is slowly turning orange.



This is my favorite deep water, It was completely brown when i got this now it is completely bright green with dark purple tips the photo does not even come close to what this really looks like.



My tortusa "biggest colony" I just need a blue tortusa!



My polyps are so extended i never really see the base color but its very green.



This coral had a huge come back it was completely bleached so i flipped it over and it has completely over took the plug!



More Monti's

My Milli fell on this and killed a part of it, its growing back quite fast.



I have never seen such a vibrant blue color polyp at night all i see blue polyps
Favorite Monti the picture is awful.



The poker star monitpora is spreading every where....
