SPS at Incredible Aquarium

One of the many types of coral we love are small polyp stony coral, SPS. In early 2011 we decided to rebuild a 220 gallon DAS system we have had for 15+ years that was covered in Pom Pom Xenia and many other invading species, to focus on these coral
It was time to build a serious home for our growing SPS collection but we had to rip out all of the live rock in this system, for the big rebuild.

When done this is what the aquarium looked like. (March Break 2011)

Starting with the nicest coloured aqua-cultured SPS we could find, we built a grow out system that looks like this today….

We use it for growing out most of our SPS colonies, all of our Limited Edition and Collector SPS colonies and healing SPS frags.

As you can see our "famous" 220 SPS system has been taken over by multiple frag racks which will be removed shortly and into two of the new systems currently being built. I will post more FTS Shots along with all of the new RR SPS frags and colonies when everything is finished.

Here are some current photos showing how our coral and frags are nurtured now...

Hi Bill, I was on a recent buy order from Victoria with Adam last month and just want to say thank you. We each had one DOA each ( Same coral too) however you took care of it like a true professional.

Thanks again

Thank you Rice Reef, and my pleasure. That would have been my IAS Blue Efflo. One of the more sensitive Acropora to ship. It sure has been a challenge but I am confident we have figured out a way to ship this stunner successfully.

(Picture below) IAS Blue Efflo, (Acropora efflorescens), that we have aqua-cultured 4 years in a row.

Once you've had some success with that, let me know. That would compliment my purple one very well :)
