Sent you a pm. Z's Dream Monti. Picture is metal halides and t5s.

The tips are indeed supposed to be yellow and they are. I reduced saturation post processing because the picture didn't look real, everything was glowing. When the reefbrites are on, my tank looks a wee bit crazy so its easier to reduce saturation post processing and take out some color than...

All hobbies can become tedious at times. Reefing requires such constant maintenance that it can get to you. Maybe because I spend so much time looking at my tank as well as taking pictures that sometimes I feel it is an awful lot of work. On the other hand, I find it incredibly peaceful to...

My top down camera tube is being repaired so this is with my old one. These are with metal halides and t5's

An incredible tank, filled with some of the prettiest coral in the world. Dont get the opportunity to say that too often. Truly one of the best tanks in the world. Lot of inspiration from your pictures. Always waiting for more photos and updates

Not sure I understand why you would want to do it in the first place. I dont know of any pros. I use a calcium reactor but I have never learned all the chemistry and biology that surely goes on. Given my limited knowledge base, might have concern about non-circulating tank water sitting in...

Picked it up at the last reefapalooza

Maybe consider just stopping the NOPOX first. That should have an impact. Maybe wait a little while before removing the protein skimmer. Slow changes are always better. SPS take a long time to grow and be happy, they get really unhappy fast and then it takes twice or three times as long to...

Progress!!! Nice to hear that you are going to leak test it. Its been long going but a remarkable build.

There is such a large range of acceptable sps parameters. Typically, higher alk 9-12 dKh would have nitrates higher than zero. When nutrients get really low, unless alkalinity decreases then sps tips may burn. However, every tank seems to have a wide range of a happy spot so if things look...

I don't know what species Z's Favorite is. It has a highly unusual growth pattern and almost impossible to frag without getting tiny little pieces. It looks great under metal halides or t5s or Blue Leds, it just looks good in my opinion. Z's Favorite (metal halides). Z's Favorite (blue...

A couple of monti's, the photos were under metal halide and t5's Z's Dream Monti (below)

No, unfortunately no frags of that one yet. It really is still too small to frag. I am flattered that you noticed it though. The blue polyps are really bright and they stand out so well against the almost white body color. Maybe it will be ready to frag in the summer..

Mr V. It is an amazing accomplishment with your beautiful tank. It is so easy to be lulled by either being in a comfort zone or getting lazy. It is difficult to be consistent for anyone. Success like yours only comes from being very detailed. Your colors are great and so is your choice of...

The colony is probably three or four inches in diameter but still kind of lanky not real thick or dense yet.

To erase any confusion, I go by both Mark and watchguy123, indeed one and the same. As to the secret about Z which I think I have actually shared before: He is perhaps the best coral grower that I have ever seen. His ability to pull colors out of acro is legendary. He is my four year old...
