Pics of my 280 gallon reef

[Andy]

Thanks so much guys. The tank has been up for just over 2 years. I purchased most of my sps at Superior Reef Aquatics in northern Ontario. Most were purchased as small colonies. I have purchased frags from Saltwater Connection as well. They have grown quickly. Here is a pic shortly after I set the tank up. Some of the corals came out of my previous 125 gallon system. As you can see, I didn't have too many sps back then. See if you can recognize any of the sps from 2 years ago.

Sweet indeed. Wow that is a tall reef structure!

Another example of a beautiful, stunning display that is over the dreaded 24".... or is that 20"???
Awsome tank Andy!!!
I really like the variety!, I rarely see such diversity in reefs, its a sight for sore eyes....
I like sps, lps, and all the others, but I like them most when they are all together!

Andy, Very nice job Looks great. If you've fragged corals that near the top and placed them on the substrate have you noticed a color change in them? What I'm wondering is can you clearly tell the corals retain better color closer to the light?

Keep up the good work,
Jamie

Amazing

Thanks guys. Jamie. I have noticed a significant colour change between the acro frags at the bottom of the tank vs their counterpart up in the water column. Except the opposite has happened to what I expected. The frags on the substrate appear to be getting lighter as if they are expelling xooanthelae (sp?). Any ideas.

Andy, Are these new frags? How long have they been placed on the bottom for? Any comparision pics?

Hi Jamie

These frags have been mounted for about a month. They have been on the bottom right from the get go and have shown great growth but a shift in colour. I'll see if I can dig up some pics.
