Both stunning and unreal Bill!!

You have a truly amazing tank and the shots where you can see everything show off how awesome the tank looks at a distance!

Thanks for the comments i was a bit surprised with the corals colouring up like they have just by increasing some elements ,the blue/purplish tip coral had no colour it went from brown to dark green but had lots growth now its one of my favorites.I just missed a frag of a pink lemonade ??? on an auction by 1GBP sick as a parrot it was a darker colours than the ones i have seen on line and would have been interesting to see it grow.

Hey Bill, those top downs were really nice.
Your tank is really doing well.
Nice job!
Where are your nutrients sitting these days?

I will be sending another icp off in a couple weeks so I will post the report.I have managed to get the pink lemonade sourced so will be ordering tom oz as he wants some of the forest fire large frags (he's a dealer).I already have a large colony that I was told was a lemonade it's light blue with solid blue and yellow tops coming through.

This was the last ICP test i followed the recommendations to add things.

maxwell · 09/06/2016, 11:44 AM

Hi
Anybody got an id on this coral it came to the supplier as a pink lemonade but its very dark i have ordered one so would appreciate any idea's.

thanks Bill

glaukos · 09/08/2016, 04:39 AM

Bill,polyps color and morphology,looks like it could be a lemonade.
What makes me skeptical is the "skin's" color.
I would expect it would look brown,even if stressed.Not so dark and purple? if my eyes don't fool me.

Just my guess bud...
I'd buy it anyway

I am awaiting the coral will see what it looks like in the flesh in my tank the guy says its a deep pink (which could be brown ).I tried to order these last night the payment went through to paypal but the supplier now say their system had some problems and the order didnt go through so i missed out so im back on the look out.Have some large frags to send back to the guy with the lemonade?.

Hi
For people that like picture these are taken under blues using a nikon d7000 standard lens high ISO and 3.5f i used a brown filter ( acrylic film nothing special) it removes the blue spike and shows the coral fluorescence not every bodies cup of tea but i do it now and again to see how the corals are doing

I read "issues".
I see this pictures.
I look at my tank and think, how would then call it?
Your tank looks amazing. Congratulations man.

chopper320 · 10/26/2016, 02:23 PM

Beautiful tank! I love seeing tanks that are so grown in.

maxwell · 10/26/2016, 02:28 PM

YEAH I should re phrase that, issues with lighting and equipment one after the other.I lost some colour due to losing the lights then the calc reactor packed up it takes time to come back.I had every thing running great and the corals at there best but always something happens in this hobby.
Bill

Wrangy · 10/30/2016, 10:40 PM

As per usual, just stunning Bill

Your tank looks so mature and natural

maxwell · 10/31/2016, 02:38 AM

Dom

Hi
A few pics to update.

Bill

reefmutt · 11/01/2016, 05:56 PM

Even after your fragging job, the tank is still busting at the seams!
Looking awesome.

maxwell · 11/02/2016, 12:19 AM

Matt
It's an ongoing job I can now see the 2 ssc frags i put on the top shelf just under the histerix and they are a good size with nice colour.I managed to get the red dragon out of the middle and cut in half .I am getting a par meter in this week to see how the levels are.
Thanks Bill

Wrangy · 11/06/2016, 08:00 PM

Love it! Just awesome Bill

maxwell · 11/08/2016, 03:39 PM

Guys
Any idea on what strontium usage would be as i had an icp test last month and added the recommendations I had another done last week and a couple of minor additions with the exception of strontium which says I need to add 350 is ml over 3 days which seems a lot in a month.
