Orange Plate
 
One of my first corals ever. Bought off a Canreefer when all I had was my 30g (Thanks Danny!)

SPS pics
 
It's hard to get a good SPS pic in my tank. I'm sure it has to do with my camera and my lack of skill, but maybe the tank lighting too. Under the 250 watt Phoenix 14k bulbs and the T5 actinics the tank is blueish, what looks great to the naked eye don't look so good when I try to take a picture. Here are a few that turned out (sort of).

That birdsnest is massive.

I couldn't recall whether I had seen your tank before and I was about to leave a post about how much I liked your tank. Found an old post of mine basically reading my own mind! I still agree with myself...aquascaping and lighting looks fantastic! Your growth is impressive.

The birdsnest is getting to the point where it's almost too big for the tank :lol:.

Thanks for your comments!

Hey Mike, Does this look more like you actual tank?

Hi Mike, I noticed you put your tank in main floor. Did you have to reenforce floor joist? I love your frogspawn when i first saw it.

Not sure what you mean Anthony, all the pics are of corals that are in the tank right now.

Thanks, everyone seems to like the frogspawn. I get a lot of requests for frags, I might try one of these days but for now I'll leave it be.

As for my floor, I did a bunch of research before setting the tank up. A friend of mine's girlfriend is a structural engineer and she came over to give me an opinion too. The wall behind the tank is a load bearing wall and the wall on the left (if facing the tank) is an outside wall. The tank also sits perpendicular over three joists.

Haha, Yes I know they are in your tank. Sorry, I meant do the pictures i re-posted have colors more like the way they appear in the tank. I tried to take away some of the blue levels in your pictures by just a very tiny bit, but i guess it wasnt very noticable :redface:
