A few of my SPS

[Oldude]

Wow. That wild Aussie one looks really nice! Kind of like pearlberry but more dense.

Thanks, it is quite a unique piece compared to my other corals. It resides in the rear of my tank & it's best view is top down so unfortuanately I don't get to see that view too often.
That siad I guess the majority of corals look their best from a top down perspective - but I suppose even in the wild we tend to see them from that angle as we swim over them while diving.:fun5:

Thoes two pics are awesome! Thanks for posting the saminoensis! When the humilis gets some color don't leave it out! Again, amazing tank.

Regarding stubby branch acros, I had forgotten about theis A.samoensis

This one is from a wild Aussie - I call it my 'no name' as I am not sure of the proper ID. That said, it is one of my faves.

Interesting growth pattern on the second pic

Yes I agree, in my opinion it is quite an interesting piece. That said that picture is top down view of a section that only makes up a small portion of the actual colony.

If you ever decide to frag some of these up, and would do international shipping, I would love some of these.

Need a CITES & other costly paperwork and there would still be no guarantee you would get them in a timely manner so thanks but I can't sell frags internationally - thanks though!

Oh yea, I know it wouldn't be worth it, was more just saying that you have an amazing tank, great job!

Here is a video I made today shooting top down with a go pro. It picked up a lot of pump noise so I added some music on You Tube ( then it got stuck with the 'edited video' title but the picture is raw & untouched). There are some very shakey parts because I had to switch hands while moving past the euro bracing while trying to keep the camera submerged. Anyway with this view there is nowhere for the frags & non-performing corals to hide but it is what it is.

I recently started dosing Color Elements (about 3 weeks ago) but instead of the recommended manual once a week method I thought I would try adding it to the dosing tanks with the balling however I think this may not be the way to go as I have had some RTN/STN, browning out of some corals & tip burn in others - even lost some color in a few clams - (likely over dosed). That said there are some corals that were not negatively affected so I'm not sure what to make of it all yet.

Excellent video! Two quick questions: How often are you feeding your fish and you mentioned you make your own two part? Are you using Randys recipe?

Thanks Danny!

Thanks much! I feed my fish pellets via autofeeder 3 times per day. I still use Randy's recipe except that I use high grade Calcium & Magnesium instead of the Dow branded products - too many impurities for my liking.

Afenstem26 - Awesome sps tank.

Thanks for the compliment.
