Relocated some pieces. This is my favorite section of the tank now.


ReefPets Ultra Violet

Brown turd showing some color finally

I got this from All Delight at a show, I don't remember the name but its starting to color back up.

I need to get a few small chunks of shelf and let this zoa garden start to grow in

Turbo ATS is starting to take off. I've been going 2 weeks between cleaning. I believe I was cleaning too often and too much off the screen before.

Thanks Victor! To be honest that was a spontaneous buy from Coral Gazers. I don't recal the type of coral it is.

Your tank is getting better and better. Are you skimming as well as ATS?
Thanks Mark. Yes I skim 20 hours out of the day. 4 hours off, I dose oyster feast daily during that time. I've also slowly started to dose potassium nitrate so I'll update how that goes down the line.

Thanks guys! Sps have really started to color up since dosing nitrates. Only problem is my bubble algae took off. Trying to come up with a contraption for getting it out easily.

I was able to add my Bartletts anthias group last week and have a potters angel in the acclimation box. So far everyone is getting along and the tank is super active. I'll update once I get home this weekend.

I've slowly brought my nitrates up to 7 over the last month or so. I've noticed some polyp colors are starting to come in. I'm going to keep it there for now and see how everything settles in. Pictures came out a little under exposed but nice and clear so I wanted to share.

Chance of Coral's grow out piece from last year. Slow grower but one of my favorite pieces. The color of the base/body is a metallic green, and the maroon polyps are pretty cool. Anyone else still have this piece please share some pictures. I've almost lost it several times, I think to low nutrients.


Joe the Coral, I think? I can't remember, I got it from Fly5150 sometime last year.

Also from fly5150, a tenuis starting to show some different colors and what I believe was a TDF (I need to start noting names). Its been yellowish for every but I think its going to start coloring up soon.



This tabling piece I got from Cody with a couple others. Really like what its doing.

Efflo, so nice to see this coming back.

Mariculture from Wally.

Recent TGC pickup. Hope it keeps going orange.

Millepora from AllDelight.

ReefPets ultra violet. Polyps are really coloring up, body is getting a faint green to it.

2 sleepers I picked up at tongs if I remember correct.


JDEllis mariculture millepora. Polyps look to be teal, base is a mild red/pink color

Montipora I got from CaliKid. Slow growing but loving the colors.

Pink Lemonade. Most drastic change in polyp coloration after adding nitrates. They were completely white shortly after putting it in my tank.

Some pieces Ev'e hooked up. ORA Hawkins and Miami Hurricane that's looking to have stopped receding.


My pink millepora. The frag just to the side is the same piece. Everytime I have fragged this piece, it go green/yellowish. Usually stays that way until it gets larger, then the growth ring stays green and the rest goes straight pink. May be my favorite piece in my tank.

My bubble tip split last week. It was moving like crazy for a week or so. The clone has attached to the bottom of a cliff, out of the light and closed this whole time. Think its a goner? A few tentacles are popping out and have color to them. Unusual?

Those are awesome nice pictures. I just can't take them under my Canon dslr, lol. I need to take a photography class.
