10g pic

Your welcome.

I am pretty impressed so far. everything was doing good as it was but growth and coloration did accelerate. The tri color was just kinda of stuck. Now it continues to grow rapidly. I appear to have less algae growth if I miss a day or two on my WC schedule. Oyster Feast and Rod's would have had a higher nitrate effect.

I like Coral Smoothie also and it seems to have basically the same ingredients as this but did seem to 'trate up the tank alittle more. Maybe the difference is in one being liquid and the other freeze dried. Also the bottle of Coral smoothie did not last long.

Other reefers that I shared a jar with are having the same results, noteably the blues coloring up.

Will have pics again when I have a better camera. Will also be rotating corals out of the 10g and into the shallow display. Will start over with new sps frags in the 10g.

That's good to hear, especially since I bought 4 jars. If you ever need more let me know.

Time for once a month update on growth. Unfortunately still the same old camera and same old cameraman. Both need to be replaced. First pic is FTS, several pieces have been removed to other tank.

2nd pic is monti encrusting. I bought it as a superman but it now has yellow, orange and red polyps with a blue base. Any ID on this?? rainbow? Pokerstar??

Third pic is Tri color. Alot of growth this month. Very happy with this piece. It is at the top of the tank and the camera angle is up so it gets alot of light interference.

Cali tort at the very top and can't get a good pic!

New Christmas Mirabelis coming along nicely.

Blue chalice frag of a frag. Great color and growing. Beware this thing has stingers 6" and burned the daylights out of my Seasons greeting that was doing well. Had to move the SG to another tank.

Spongides now encrusting across the sand.

Pink BN w/ blue polyps. Growing fast away from the light. I have fragged three pieces off this since last shot

Praticing with someone else's iphone camera. Just opened a photobucket account. I cannot get the photos to come out right. this camera phone does not show reds very well and I cannot make the light level right. It changes when I just tilt the phone.

Here's a few more:

Your setup is awesome and the new camera really helps! What lights are you running?
