My 180 Gallon Reef Paradise
 

I feel it time to post some pictures of my tank. SPS is now growing, NOT RTN'ing... Coral is happy and so am I. Here are a few shots of my tank and some of the coral... more to come!

Looking good, Rick :mrgreen: and love the depth of your tank :p:razz:

I don't know what it is called the yellow cup coral you have in the middle of your tank ... but I really like it. Hope I can find a frag of it locally here one day for my tank.

That frogspawn is huge! Very nice tank.

Looking great!! :lol:

its called a scroll coral:wink:

agreed! the tank is looking good and the frogspawn looks to be aproaching basketball size:shocked:

Thank you fishytime, I have never seen this scroll coral in person. It really stands out compared to the monties, hope I can find one for my tank.

Yup, it is basketball size. You cant even see the different one behind it due to its size.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. I havent been happy with things until recent. Will post more pics of coral and fish soon.

How are you keeping the rocks so purple and have no red algae on the rocks. Love the tank buddy looking sweet

I am cursed by it... So much coraline, hence the reason for 6 urchins to help control it. I have done nothing to induce its growth.

Thanks again.

i agreee looks awesome . how does it work wth the powerheads facing down like that i dont think ive ever seen that before

Everything looks great Rick! Yes, post more pictures please!

the powerheads work well that way. Basically the 2 MP40's do most of the work, along with the returns... The 2 end Koralia's are #4's on a wavemaker, and the middle ones I believe are #2 or #3's with constant flow. Creating some turbulance and currents through the rockwork (along the back wall, through the rock out the front). As my rock is on the back wall and overflows, the currents through them help in order to not create a poisonous / nitrate area. So it works well!
