A Whole New Dimension

[returnofsid]

Here's some updated shots of the 2 frags of Strawberry Shortcake Acro. They've now been in the tank right at 20 hours, 18 hours when these pics were taken.

I now have 2 T5 fixtures (6 bulb and 4 bulb) so I have an expanded "Dawn to Dusk" effect, with more Actinic options.

1st set of Actinics on.

All Actinics on.

All lights on.

Some new pics, I took this morning. SSC Acro is showing LOTS of polyp extension!

Bob Moore Blue Acropora loisetteae

Lights just came on, so this Torch isn't showing off it's full glory.

SSC Acropora nasuta

Nuclear Green Paly

Shot a few actinics tonight. Please excuse the coralline, though it did make for a couple interesting pictures.

Newest addition. Atlantic Blue Tang, Acanthurus coeruleus.

This is a beautiful and nice sized specimen! Our Tomini Tang didn't agree though. There was about an hour of aggression, tail slapping, with "scalpels" fully extended, on both fish. I attempted to get some pictures of the action, but unfortunately, most didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped.

Tank looks good man and should look great in a few months with some more growth to fill it in

It's nice to see another 200g DD owner as well, lol

Tank looks awesome! I upgraded from a 125 to a 180 and the extra depth is just amazing would love mine to be 36"!

Love the acros. The strawberry and that nasuta are both gorgeous.

Thank you all!

Holly coraline batman!!

Yeah, the lower portions of the tank are a bit difficult to reach, so I don't keep up on the coralline as well as I should.

I took a few Top Down shots today. I'm unable to get much for top downs, because there isn't enough room, with the light fixtures, for the look down box. But, here's a few.

Moster Bubble Coral. This guy's 10"-12" in diameter.

Without pictures, none of you would believe it, but I actually scraped all the coralline off of the glass!! It took me 2 days, but I got it done!! What an undertaking!!

Now I can actually take pics of corals that I couldn't, because of the coralline.

A cool new addition, I picked up from Aquarium Solutions, the other day.

Black Sun Coral (Tubastraea micrantha)

After a couple of feedings, to coax it to eat.
