Its stunning SPS tanks like this that keep from going to a fish only tank!
I was getting a little depressed the last two weeks due to losing a few nice aquacultured colonies and some nice frags, and was considering turning my cube into a fish only to avoid the stress, but seeing this beauty has helped me decide to stick with it!
Absolutely stunning! The colors, placement, and growth is simply awe inspiring!
I am of course extremely jealous!

hey Joe, why do you say "yes i am still running a DSB"???
is it better if you don't have a DSB for sps or whats the deal?
and if so then how do you do it??

Very nice, I only hope I can get my tank to look something like that in a few years.

You are funny.

See how neat that little bit of glue is on your frag? If I did that I would have fish, fingers glued together, a rock slide and 20 more frags.

I have never glued my fish to a frag before, but my cleaner shrimp glued his front 4 apendiges together because he tried to clean one. The worst part is he did this TWICE, you would think he would learn,..

STUPID, STUPID, STUPID:rollface: :rolleye1:

what kind of lighting are you using? mind giving specs or pics of equipment so maybe one day i can have a tank as great as yours lol. im running a ssb atm, kinda the same method oregon reef uses

almost looks like your using a purple lights instead of actinic.

I run 3 250-watt XM10K MH with 3 URI super actinic VHOs all on icecap ballasts.

The camera tend to make things look a little more purple (really only on things that are blue) than they are. But I am running VHO actincs. If you are used to seeing PC or T5 actinics, VHO tend to look a little more purple, I think VHO looks much better though, IMO.

Very nice Joe,

any more pics?

That's all I took. Maybe I can get a few more tonight.

whats the name of the purpleish one in pic number 4

That a tort, Cali or Oregon not sure which. Looks more blue in real life.

and the name of that one in pic 5 the one thats in the middle.

The green with purple tipped table like colony? It came as a free frag a few years ago, not sure what it is, the closest I can come is A. longicyathus.

Here it is as a little frag (when I still had red bugs)

about a year later

finally the pic I posted 9 months afetr the one above.

also any pics of that raceway frag system you have? how is that going for you? any regrets? or things you would change about it?

No new ones. I wouldn't do a raceway if I did it again. The channels don't produce enough current for SPS, so I have powerheads in the channels of the raceway. Since I have the powerheads there really is no point to having the channels or the raceway for that matter. I think it would be good for lps, softies or zoanthids though.

Guys thanks so much for all the kind words. :thumbsup: The last few months have been crazy busy in real life so I had no time for the tank. literally weeks would go by without really looking at the tank. I had some recession on two pieces back in July that got me nervous that I had been neglecting it (which I had). Bumped up the current with another powerhead and they both seam to have snapped back.

Once again thanks all for the kind words.

That green w/purple tip table was what stuck out most in your tank to me! simply stunning piece...and different... I think you did not frag that enough...theres a piece thats begging to be sent to MA.

The whole tank is amazing also and I love the sand
