My 300G Built-in Reef - UPDATE - Tear down thread

BTW, the coral in the foreground that is out of focus is the incredible hulk acro. I haven't had it too long and it is still quite small.

Okay, here's another pic.

This is an Original Garf Bonsai. I have had it for for 10 months and grew it from a tiny 1/2" frag.

Here's a picture of my Tyree Bali Tri-Color. This was also grown from a tiny frag. I mounted the frag sideways and it spent about 6 months basing. In the last couple of months it has finally started growing some verticle stems.

And one last photo for the night.

The mille in the center is a ORA frag. I've had it for a year now and grew that colony from a 2" frag. I love mille's.

The coral in the upper right is a Robins Egg Encrusting Blue Porites. I bought a small frag of it from Sand Dollar on RC about a year ago.

The yellow stag below the mille was purchased from my LFS. I liked it's lanky growth pattern and it does have blue tips.

Are you sure thats not a starfish in the bottom center of the last pic? It sure is symmetrical. Mille's are my favorite . I need some of that one except Im out of room for more colonies.

Very nice pics. There are many free picture resizing programs on the web. Try www.download.com .

Don't blame that on the lack of updated pics, though. We're waiting!

Here's a pic of a Tonga Bonsai that Atlantis threw in as a freebie in the order that I made when I got the Pink Lemonade Acro. It's quite pretty for a freebie

Nice tank. How do you get the good growth and color?

 

[Anonymous]

Thanks Rob.

I use a CA reactor and a kalk reactor. That and 4-400W 10K's.

I do religous 25% montly water changes too.

Not much to it really.

:lol: Rob, I just noticed your new sig line :lol:

 

[Anonymous]

Well I have a CA reactor - kalk reactor 250W HQI over my 58 and the corals do not grow and colors are fading. I do bi-weekly water changes too.

You must have another secret you are not telling me.

 

[Anonymous]

Nope. No secrets here.

I can tell you that my growth has picked up quite a bit in the last few months even though I haven't changed anything in my husbandry. Sometimes, SPS corals just don't grow in newer tanks.

Yeah, the tank is looking really good man! Always! Keep posting the pics! How about some full tank shots, shots of the new sump in action, shots of the other fish (I'd really like to see how the trigger's been!), shots of your fish taking shots! You know, the usual!

I know I am. Until I get my tank up and looking nice I need to get my fix someware.

Very nice Louey. I have found in my limited experience that frags are very very slow growers. Once mine broke the 2 inch barrier though they really took off. Most of mine have grown 2-4 inches in the last year. They start so slow and then BAM they take off. Just my experience though. Do you have any Full Frontal shots? Of the tank?
