I purchased both as frags about a year ago. The Red Dragon is definitely a fast grower. The Hawkins is a decent grower as well. I may have to move it though eventually just to give it a little less flow. It is growing very tight together but not branching off a whole lot.

Stunning Reef! Can you please detail what you feed the fishes and the SPS coral? Thanks.
Your tank TOTM worthy! Keep up the great work. :) |
Thanks for the kind words. I feed my fish nori everyday along with NLS pellets a couple times a week and some mysis a couple times a week as well. As for the SPS, I dont feed them anything. I do feed my LPS with some mysis once in a while to get them growing faster.

All right party people... Time for a photo dump! I have been working on my white balance and am starting to get the hang of it. Pics look a tad on the greener side of things but its getting better.
Spongodes growing like crazy and starting to cap now. http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/...psf34a291c.jpg Here's a new clam I just picked up along with my Branching lobo, open brain, superman monti and Tyree Mystic monti. http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/...psf5b02b65.jpg Ultimate Bonsai is growing like crazy! Love the ultra green polyps! http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6f2e6fa2.jpg Here's a sweet new frag. It's the RR Subzero. I bleached it a bit from those new RB strips. I didn't think they would add as much par as they did and am now only running them at 50% for now. It is bouncing back nicely now. More baby blue with dark blue tips. http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/...ps155b1b5d.jpg My RR Gold Buddah up close. It is a fantastic golden colour with burgundy polyps. Nice tabling growth pattern as well. http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/...psf0dbf8ab.jpg Love this pic of my Leopard Wrasse swimming past my Purple Dragon and DV Bottlebrush Acro. http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/...psccd11878.jpg Here's a sweet shot of my Flame BTA. I have about 5 of these things now... I would love to get rid of some but it sure would be a whole lot easier if the rock they are on wasn't the only one that is doweled and epoxied into place.... http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/...ps297b6177.jpg Group Shot of my Tubbs Pink Jade, DV Cobalt Tort and DV Candlelight http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/...ps85a4a752.jpg Nice Macro shot of a Confused War Coral Frag. http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/...psde6ba2dd.jpg Close up of my Mystic Monti. Glass could be cleaner at the bottom of the tank... http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3d4169f1.jpg Close up of my new clam! http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/...ps06075414.jpg Group Shot of my BS Birdsnest, DV Sunset Milli and my own Devil's Breath Acro http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/...ps11887443.jpg Close up of my DV Limeade. Growing nicely! http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/...psb703a743.jpg Group Shot of my DV Limeade, Red Dragon, ORA Cali Tort in the back, noname Pink & Yellow acro and another Bonsai frag. http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/...ps97bd2810.jpg Right Side shot of Tank http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2559c3dd.jpg Left Side shot of Tank http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/...psa09a48de.jpg Full Tank Shot http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/...pse48bccfb.jpg I am getting excited to switch over my frag tank to a LPS dominated tank. Rock is all most done curing. Sand is rinsed and the corals I have for it are SPECTACULAR!!!! I will show them off in my next post. |
Just beautiful. The Mystic Monti looks sweet. One of the only few Montis I even like.
|
Wow, that is beautiful indeed, lots of nice pieces in there. And thanks for incl names of the corals.
|
I hate when people dont post a FTS with their photo dumps!! Way to go!
Looks amazing |
Your corals and tank look great. Good to see all those designer SPS looking and growing so well.
|
Thanks everyone. So here are the show pieces that are going to be on display in my LPS / frag tank makeover:
I will start with some beautiful colonies I got a little while back: This is the original RR Hurricane chalice purchased years ago. I love the blue speckle covering the entire piece: http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/...pscb20d95d.jpg Massive War Coral Colony: http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/...ps20a5363c.jpg Massive dual coloured chalice with glowing yellow eyes: http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/...psb0c803b2.jpg Here's a cheap $10 frag I purchased from a show last year. It was brown when I bought it but saw some potential. I think it is going to be stunning and is growing fast! Red / Green with orange eyes. http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/...psf85accb1.jpg Another stunning chalice: http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/...ps60281551.jpg Here's a killer Lepto I got from Darryl as well. Growing nicely and far more orange than the phot shows: http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/...ps74a016d3.jpg I love this piece! Cheap little $10 frag that has turned into a beauty! Base is actually going blue in some spots as well: http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/...psfa808f53.jpg Here is an absolutely CRAZY Astralomussa!! Starting to grow. Just needs to be fed lots. Red, green, yellow and blue!! http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4ebfc7a2.jpg Some BS acan love: http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/...pse1f5bf46.jpg Here's another beauty of an acan: http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/...ps95a3985a.jpg My Utter Chaos palys that started from 1 large head and 1 small baby head: http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/...psac431309.jpg Dragon Scale chalice: http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6bb61047.jpg AND NOW SOME OF THE REAL SHOW STOPPERS: JF Vivid Riddler Chalice: http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8a4afcaf.jpg My own Rainbow Raceway Chalice: http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2d9403fb.jpg What I believe is a PPE Chalice. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong: http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/...psa365c378.jpg My own Raging Inferno Chalice: http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/...ps533298fe.jpg Time to mount this on a tile as the growth rim is growing underneath: http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/...pse7689a52.jpg and the one and only Tyree Space Invaders Pectina: http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/...psbf10ce54.jpg |
wow I'm jealous of that coral selection. Gotta love when you buy a cheap piece that does not look very good and turns out to be a super colorful piece .
