A few random shots from today with halides on

Pink Stylo


Red Milli


Green Birdsnest (Hystrix)


Green Stag w/ blue tips....this had a rough go for the first few months - fell into a lot of things and got stung, it was browned out from a ballast that went for a week, I was considering getting rid of it, but now it's got awesome polyp extension and it turned green on me and has started growing like a weed.


Derasa Clam


Pokerstar Monti


Saltynuts Hairy Acro (was completely brown when I got it)


Green Acro (about 8" across and 8" tall - grew from a frag 5 months ago)


Lobsterboy's pink milli


Pink Pocci

Red Milli


Pink Birdsnest (grew this colony from a 1" frag)


Green Hummulis or Gemmifora, unsure of ID


Pink Stylo Frag - about triple the size from original frag


Bluish Milli with Pink tips - This is my largest colony, probably 10" across and I grew it from a 3" colony to start. Was brown when I got it. One of my favs


Lobsterboy blue stag (This started out with only a single growth tip, now it's finally branching out)


Crocea Clam


Don't know what Acro species this is but I like it.

A few shots under 3 T5 bulbs

This is Snappys Acropora Abrolhosensis, as you can see, when I got the frag, it was just a flat top without a growth tip. I got this frag beginning of Nov and I finally have a growth tip out the flat top. I got enormous growth out the side without a growth tip though. It'll start taking off now that there are lots of growth tips.


Snappy's bird of many colours (It's a bird of one colour for me - started out as a 1" frag with just a "y", from Nov 09)


Another pic of the Saltynuts hairy acro (started out as a brown frag)

A little update - I made my system larger. I added about 20 more gallons of water volume. Joe Reefer gave me a tank a long time ago, so I decided to add it to my system. The purpose will be for overflow parking for my frag tank when my frag tank is full.

The tank is supported with industrial shelving that will hold 700 lbs so I think I'm pretty safe.

Sorry, forgot to use flash for all pictures.

This is looking into my fish room from outside the door. That's the 20 gallon that I added.


As you go to the right, it's my 75 gallon RO/DI reservoir. I added shelves above it last weekend.


A view from the RO reservoir side to the sump/frag tank side of the fish room. It's a little difficult to take pictures because my fish room is only about 4 feet by 8 feet I think.


This is the manifold I added to the main return pump. I added 2 extra ports for "just in case" I upgrade or add another tank to the system at a later date.


Finally, a close view of the new addition.


Thanks for looking.
