LOL J/K!!

Well after being on this site for several years now, I finally sat down over the weekend and took some pictures of my 110 intending to post them in my gallery. After seeing Danano’s tank though, it’s obvious that I would just be wasting disk space.

Beautiful tank!!!:thumbsup:

what is the pink/blue tip acro on the right??

Excellent Tank!!!

 

[spykes]

i really have to ask the question again, what are you dosing iny our system?

 

[danano]

rutz, it's a pink stylo with whitish-blue polyps. It started out as a 3" aquacultured piece 3 years ago.

David, I don't dose much anymore, excepts for maybe AA on rare occassions. That said, my bottle of AA ran out 3 months ago and I haven't dosed since.

danano,
How is your polyp extension with those angels? Mine is very poor, and I am currentlythinking of removing the angels............

Hey Danano, thanks for the update! If you have any more pics, please do post them.

Also, did you ever change the bulbs? I think you did, but can't remember, what combo are you now using?

Thanks!

 

[dvanacker]

Danano ....do you still have a SSB or are you BB now??

Im a big fan by the way...lol

 

[spykes]

how would you take care and vaccum a 1/2 inch SSB?

 

[danano]

REEF-D, polyp extension is good. The Blue Face and pygmies don't bother the sps. Pygmy angels in my tank include the multicolor, flame, potters and cherub.

hceiv, I changed my bulbs once after 20 months. Same combo, WHITE-BLUE-WHITE-WHITE-BLUE-WHITE-WHITE-BLUE-WHITE.

dvanacker, still SSB.

spykes, I've never really vacuumed my SSB. I do have a few sand dollars that keep the sand fairly clean/white. Some stringy worm-like critters in the LR come out to play on the sand as well, scavanging for food and leftovers.

Dan,

I have had some SPS go light in color. I reduced my lighting by using more blue spectrum (less par) and got more fish and feed more. This helped and I am way happier with my colors now.

I notice you have a lot of aquablue for a 120g. Your tank must be very bright yet your colors are good. Do you feed a lot. I read you have a large skimmer. What do you feed your tank??

 

[Covey]

You should upgrade that lighting you will never get any growth or color with T-5s:lolspin: :lol:


Really though one of the niciest tanks just keeps getting better. I really like how things are growing in.

Danao did you remove some of the colonies/cut down on the total number of frags?

I was wondering the same thing. I had to go more blue as well so I didn't fry my corals. Regardless, you have a beautiful tank.

dvanacker, the spectrum from the Aquablue Special (white bulbs) is more important than that of the blue bulbs for sps coloration. The blue bulbs do provide a nice visual effect however. I feed the fish pellets once or twice a day. I've stopped dosing.

Covey, yes, I removed several colonies and trimmed some to make room for growth for others and what used to be frags are now all grown out. I also removed some LR.
