bgouges aussie SPS journey

I am not a fan of millies, but I would take a piece of that home with me and whisper sweet nothings to it!
It is puuuuuuuurdy..
 
That millie is off the chain Brok, yellow corallites?! OMG

Oooooohhhhh that is pretty Brok :)

Haha cheers guys, yeh Sam its sorta got orangey yellow coralites, the large colony of it still has the orangey yellow coralites but their a bit harder to distinguish
 
Really? Hahaha your piece if bigger than mine now :lol: Gets a blue tinge on the growth tips too when its really cranking, if you look closely at your pic you will notice a bit of blue

Yep i know the blue tip you speak of, the larger colony had them :p i lost another lennardi today! When i checked on the tank at night, i like to look at everything at night and watch the copepods and critters, i found him laying on the sand! I reached in and grabbed him and he was still kicking, but something had crunched one of his fins :/ like an open wound... not sure if he got sucked through one of the jebaos as they like to bury in the sand directly below the jebao fro some reason.... so im back down to two lennardi!!!


And the tukas i looked at werent in a good way so i passed on them.... my search for fish continues
 
Few more pics

these few pics are examples of me holding the camera in the tank without me looking through the lens so basically just taking blind pics and then choosing which ones i actually managed to get focussed!

pink robusta



Wow nice collection of ausie. Very beautiful specimens. I have some questions about your robusta if you still have it. Seems not much people have them in captivity long term so there so little information about them. Where is your placement for your robusta? Is it getting lots of flow? Have you test your par of it getting? I have a big colony of the abrotanoides and 3 small colony spread through out the tank at different level but i can seem to get them to color up. I had mine almost two years, crazy growth but no color.

Hey man, sucks about your lennardi :( :thumbdown Just cant catch a break can you! Which ones do you have left? The "larger" one?

Ahh bugger, hoping there would be a couple there you could take a punt on. I didn't find anything on the weekend either :sad2:
 
Added a few new fish that im extremely happy about! A pair of multibar angels aka multifasciata, as well as a venustus angel! Also added a splendid mandy and a pair of clowns. Removed my kole tang and convict tang as they were just too agressive to newcomers and i suspect one of them killed one of my lennardis.
Decided to go with more of a angel/wrasse with a backdrop of anthias and more smaller fish.

Heres a few terrible shots and an updated fts




 
Thanks for the update. Have no idea how you caught the 2 tangs without ripping your tank apart. Love the new fish.

Haha a aquamedic fish trap and a crapload of patience! Took me about a week to get them, they get spooked so easily and i get bored waiting by the trigger
 
Where did you rest the trap? I'd be scared of crushing or breaking corals..
Your tank is looking phenomenal, Brock!
Are those leds all kessils around the perimeter?

Its got suction caps and i use my flipper glass cleaner magnet to hold it agaisnt the glass. I sit it in the middle top section of the tank and it just fits! I did accidently snap off my pink milli which was cranking! Waiting on new glue to glue it back :(

Cheers mate
Yep all kessils 4 x a360 and one a160 in the centre
