lastlight's 97 (lights out)

Good to hear the wave box works well for you. Doug

Thx guys. Yeah the wavebox along with the added light seems to really be helping growth. I was noticing polyp extension down some and was due to replace my gfo and carbon in a few days but did it today. What a difference that made in just a few hours. I seem to VERY slowly be beating the hair algae but the bryopsis is going stronger than ever. We'll see how the new gfo works. I'm also up to 2 cups in the reactor vs the 1 to get things started.

Here are a few new shots. The big growth spurts have been in the Salty Nuts Acro and an unknown teal I got from Dez and the Orange/green formosa from John. Main halides had gone off this is just a Fiji Purple and a KZ New Gen.

Salty Nuts and Formosa. Tons of new branches starting to take shape:

The A. Abrolohensis has a super blue growth tip. It's grown over an inch in mere weeks:

This teal sprouted 4 new branches:

New Duncans and Acans from Greg. Acans are much more extended with the halides on:

My favorite angle into the tank:

Whoa! Looking sexy! Need to see in person for sure.

Oh and tank ain't bad either.

Your Albrohensis is taking off faster than mine did. Mine was a square top for months and the first branch was out the side. Once that first branch came out it all started branching from there. How did you ever snag a frag of that off of me anyway? I don't even remember ever fragging that coral.

That Saltynuts is a fast grower. Soon it'll be at the water surface in my tank.

Wicked photo Brett! That Salty nuts acro is one sweet looking piece, all of these wicked looking SPS tanks are making me regret parting with mine.

SWC Extreme 160. Cheap and awesome!

Funny how that works some times, any noise coming off of it? My API BM 250 is driving me CRAZY, the one impeller makes the most irritating vibrating noise (and of course it's right next to my bed).

Mmmm photos! I love how this tank is turning out.

Yeah without growth tips the coral (mine at least) is pretty plain looking. I totally love the growth tips though and as I get more of them I love this coral more and more! I'll need a pile of zoas in the new year so maybe I can snap a branch off of it for the visit =)

Thanks me too. My only regret with the scape is that it's a pretty tight formation and my frags are mounted pretty close together but I wanted lots of them lol. I can weed out the non performers I guess. That and if I pull out for a straight on FTS it looks like all I have is rock haha. Patience sucks!
