Took some more pictures today, enjoy! I have other algae that I didn't photograph since it was dirty or too hard to shoot.

Gracilaria

Masked Goby (Coryphopterus personatus) x13

Penicillus Dumetosusp

Gorgonian

Sargassum Sp.

Very cool pics!

I love the turtle grass and all of the coco worms.

I'm hoping to get more seagrasses in a couple weeks, pretty hard right now since they're all dying and whatnot.

Got a new toy today.

Thats a pretty trick light set up. Cool choice!

I was watching the demo video for it and it was showing the "thunderstorm" mode. Found this on Youtube on a stocked tank with that same mode going.

That is an awesome tank, what kind of equipment do you have on that thing?

 

[Kataro]

I'm hoping to get the light hang up tonight or sometime this week to play with it and determine how many more I will need for the tank.

Hey Oblongshrimp, are you from AAPE by chance?
As far as equipment

2 - MP40W ES
2 - BRS reactor GFO / Carbon (GFO will be offline soon)
SWC 250 S
ReefKeeper Lite
Tunze Osmolator (ATO)
MP10 for fuge
2-3 koralia for sump circulation
250W 20k MH - 2x (Switching to LED)

I think that's it, I might have other small stuff in there.

Got it hung and hopefully I set the program right so it automatically do sunrise / sunset and moonlight and all that. I messed up a little bit.. it's too near the edge of the tank,but look like it's giving a good coverage, might try to move it a little bit.

 

[Kataro]

Thought this video was really cool.

Some pictures I took on my day off, I'm battling cyano and other algae at the moment. Added GFO and dosing vodka / vinegar to keep the excess nutrient down.

Very hard fish to photograph, always hiding

 

[Kataro]

More photos!

multicolor algae (green / red / purple)

Seagrasses are dying since I messed up some of the rhizome. Others are growing pretty well though.

Some of my maxi anemone

Side shots

Pipefish

Some phone picture of new inhabitant.

(Hard to see but it's a feather starfish)

 

[frctlimg]

Nice additions. That flame algae in the second picture looks like it's doing really well. Save me a piece next time you frag it please.

 

[OwenInAZ]

That is a really cool twist on the standard idea for a large tank. I also like the choice of gobies for the tank -- small ones can be really fun to find in a huge tank.

 

[Kataro]

Got my 2nd radion today! hopefully get it up this weekend.

Sure thing kyle I got some flame algae whenever you wanna come grab it.

 

[DrBegalke]

As always, great pics.

Nice sea apple, let us know how it does in the long run.

How happy are you with the Radions? I am thinking of going that rout

 

[Vanpire]

The radions are the coolest LEDs I have seen.
