Lookin good. Did you end up with a LA3 or LA mini? I think it looks like a mini.

Gee, those corals must not be rare if you've got such large colonies of them

Is the Geo running yet? Respond to my PM

 

[Ding2daDong]

Sunset montipora, looks like poker stars but it now has a ring of orange polyps.

German blue polyp acropora

neon green with purple tip torch

Multicolor acropora.

I have a bunch more but I am about to fall asleep while typing so I will post them up later.

All will be frags from $10-$20 for most and some of the rare items will be more. As previously stated if I know you in the club certain corals I can work out a deal or discount for the FMAS crew I know.

Please let me know if you have any question,

Thanks

LOL yea because they cost me so much! like the sunset montipora!

Yea I ended up with a mini, want to sell the other sunlight supply reflector and get another mini. Geo still not running yet, go to the vendor forum under aquacave to find more details as to what happened.

Matt,
What kinda bulb are you running, left side and right side?
I the lumenarc mini throws off a lot of light and the one on the left seems to be directed straight down. It could be the bulbs though a 20k vs 10k.
lmk,
Jess

 

[macawmagic]

don't hold me to it jess...but i'm pretty sure left side is a reeflux 12k and the right side is a 10k xm. both single ended.

 

[davester1]

OMG, that looks fantastic. I just found my new frag supplier!!!

 

[ReefWreak]

Yea Keith is correct. 12k Reeflux and 10k XM, left and right side. Left side reflector is a Sunlight Supply ReefOptix3 and the right side is a Luminarc Mini.

The right reflector isn't throwing much light off to the sides, the reason it looks that way is because of how bright the XM10k is. When I switched from my spiderlight reflectors to the Luminarc Minis, they were spotlights compared to how the spiderlight messily reflected light all over the place. I used to have to have foil down the back of the tank so the light wouldn't shine on my parent's picture behind the tank. Now with the Luminarcs I don't need the foil anymore, and I worry about my frag racks that are attached to the glass not getting enough light.

If you want to see the brightness compared,

they're a little uneven, the Reeflux on the left has a stronger ballast (CoralVue electronic) than the 10k XM on the right (Icacap electronic), which kinda makes them similar brightness, but the 10k is still more powerful. Matt's got both his bulbs on a SLS galaxy dual ballast, so they're the same wattage going to both bulbs. My setup above has 2 identical Luminarc Minis.

 

[macawmagic]

eric...that was without the vho actinics right? and I would deff go left side!!!

 

[ReefWreak]

yea that was without VHOs because I still have to fix the harness, or order a new one and rewire them

I think Chris (Ludwigia73) said he would come by when I'm home and help me fix them. I spent like 3 hours the night after the harness broke trying to fix it in any concievable way. it's just need to figure out how to pull out the pins from the plastic plug connector, solder them back together, and it's done, but I've got to remove them first.

 

[gasman059]

Erick def reeflux12k.Tha't what I'm running now and I'm very pleased with the color(on e ballasts)

I've experimented with all kinds of 20 k bulbs as well as some 10k(tooo yellow)
IME 12 reeflux bulbs give you the best of both worlds.

BTW the tank is looking good!
Matt good job on your frag tank and good luck at the swap.

 

[sufunk]

Thanks everyone, I need to get some new updated pictures because I have alot more frags.

I will only be bringing 4-5 frags of each coral pictured unless anyone specifies a coral they want me to save for them and everything else at the swap it is first come first serve.

I guarantee all my corals so if you get a frag from me and it falls off the base for whatever reason or dies in your tank I will replace it for free as long as you give me the frag disk/plug back in return for the new coral.

Yea but I have since traded or sold all of them. These frags are from a few days ago, thats why they are not encrusted yet.
