90 Gallon Reef Setup... Update April 22, 2009...Oceanic Corals with Pics!

[lobsterboy]

heres an orange crush, its a bit blurry, the oc is left hand side back ground.
it is orange, green and a tiny tiny blue.

Randi, is that the same acan i gave you under the actinics?

i am wishing i had actinics

[Rbacchiega]

Close, but not quite John. Well from what I can tell anyways. The one I've got has alot more green and blue, I just can't get it to show in the picture.

I can't remember what you said you were running bulb wise. But Geissman True Actinic or Blue + whatever it's called would make your tank pop more. Or Fiji Purple.
But to be honest, I like the way your tank looks now. The colours are genuine

..unless you were asking if the acans in the actinic shots are the ones from you...in which case yes. Both of them

yeah, i have gone over this idea, over and over again, wheather or not to add actinics, probably just keep with the KZ approach and keep with the new gens, and fiji's

Some more shots.

The new acan changes colour by the hour it seems...



Still havn't named him, but look at that mug!


Meet Edward (my Godson named him)

Helllooooo back from the dead.

Alright, so CBB died, Ember Blenny Died and Kole has been moved to a different tank. Kind of let the tank get out of hand in terms of, y'know, NOT doing anything too it for a couple weeks, so it pretty much looks like butt. I did pick up this fantastic piece of zoa godness yesterday though, and tonight, after a good cleaning, I'll take pics of everything else. I'm thinking of getting rid of the lighting unit that's there and switching either to all T5s, or at the very least pimping out the current fixture. New Ballasts, new reflectors, new bulbs...the works.

Anyways, here's the zoa rock:


Before the Great Cleanse of April 2009 (I know, I know, it's disgusting):

[Rbacchiega]

John (lobsterboy) hooked me up with some amazing frags (although some of them are so big I'd call them mini-almost-could be really soon- colonies.. and now that they've been in the tank over night...I need to rearrange the rockwork (I know Tony, I know) in order to accomidate what's in there already, what I'm picking up from the Wicked Frag order today and what I'm getting from Greg (Snappy) on Monday.

I'll also be adding a vortech mp40 (first generation) in a bit here which leaves me with this for flow:

Koralia 4: 1200gph
3x Koralia 3: 2550gph
Sedra Return (4.5ft head): 625gph
Vortch mp40 (if run full blast) 3000gph

Total: 7375gph divided by display tank volume (90) gives me roughly 82X rotation in the tank....hoooooooooora!
