Thank you for everyone's compliments.
Metal halides are Radium. When it is time to swap. I may change these to Ushio 14K or Phoenix 14K. Combination of Radium and T5 makes my tank really blue.:-( T5 supplements are Blue Plus. When it is swap time, I may replace these with LED strips. Skimmer is Reef Octopus XP3000INT. I know as soon as I say this, things may crumble.:-( I guess I've been pretty lucky. Other than what is stated above, I don't do anything else to my tank. I perform weekly water changes and let my calcium reactor and kalk stirrer maintain my parameters ie calcium and alk. Here are some more of my corals. Again, I appolize if they are unclear and chopped off here and there. I do need to attend a photography class and invest in a better camera. Hope you guys/gals enjoy these.... Upscale Microlados. Looks almost like the Rashberry Lemonade. I have no idea of what this blue sps is. Looks like some sort of Tort? Any thoughts? Another unknown. In real life the polyps are white and the part where its encrusting is green. Tenuis, Setosa, and part of the Ponape Birdsnest. Sunset Milli Oregon Tort Lokani Bought this from Jason Fox 2 summers ago when I visit his house. He doesn't know the name of it either. :-( Hawkins. Sold the entire colony not too long ago. Part of my Red City Milli. |

Again, thank you for everyone's kind compliments. Here are a few shots of the tank. I have a bad habit of changing my aquascape all the time.:-(
This is what the tank looks like until April 2011.... Left Side Middle Right Side FTS as of April I got tire of looking at it so I change it to this which is what it looks like today. Left Side Right Side FTS as of today I like the old look much better. Once I get tire of the current look I will change it again. |

This is my third....or eighth time checking your thread out. haha. I have to agree with Buckeye, and my GF and I both think that your "previous" look definitely overrules the look you have now. The Hyacinthus you have in the first pic and the pink lemonade look fantastic in the left pillar you "had" . Both my gf and I love the look of the pillar you have going on- it's stellar.... the "old" look definitely has much to offer, imo. Did you use acrylic rods??
