Higher Calcium Level for SPS Growth? (vs Health)

Tank & Frag (PHOTO UPDATE) THINGS ARE STABLE

Things continue to be stable.

It is probably the longest I've managed to keep Frags without them going Brown.

Some tips are actually showing Blue/Purple, which I could never get before. And Polyp Extension is good too!!

Must be GTA Reef Coral Quality.

I have been moving the frag rack up every week, for stronger lighting.

Tank is Algae, Cyano free.

ALGAE WARS MOVIE ( Episode 2) Update: ( ALMOST FINISHED THE WHOLE EPISODE)

Hang in there. Been working hard. Going faster than I expected.

I have almost finished the whole Episode 2, so don't want to release anything partially to make the story flow and be entertaining.

Hoping it will be done Sunday Night.

ALGAE WARS - Episode 2 (UPDATE) - Plugging away

[Wally.B]

ALGAE WARS (Episode-2) Update: (1 more scene to go)

Working day and night (since off from work).

1 more scene to go, and then title pages, rendering begins.

It will be worth the wait, since this Episode is turning out much more/better than I hoped for. Way more than Episode 1 on content.

Something for Holiday break viewing.

HAPPY 2017 NEW YEAR everyone!!

Getting ready to Mount the SPS Plugs in my Tank saince they have all survived a few weeks. (And best part is keeping their Colors)

GTA Frag Update (Max Lighting Point Reached)

So I've moved up the Frags I got from GTAreef slowly to a hieght I think makes them safe to move anywhere within the tank.

They need to be moved into middle of tank since currently they get lighting from one side.

They have been doing quite fine for over a month, and Tank is showing good stability and No Algae. Only one Frag look a bit bleach, but even that one is recovering at the base.

I still have much wiggle room for lighting adjustments, since my MH lights are only running at 175W, they can still be increased to 250W, and HQI. Plus my fixture is 18" above tank. My Custom Steve's LED is only running at 25%.

Before they get moved onto rocks here is a Final FRAG Rack - Reference Photo.

 

[Wally.B]

I need to find a better Photo Repository. Appears PhotoBucket is going Sponsor Crazy and site is really slow and images are not reliable

Anyone know of any other good Free Photo Repository sites?

 

[Wally.B]

** TESTING PHOTO RESPOSITORIES ** Another Photo of SPS Tank before Frags get moved onto Rockscape (Fish Family Photo Bonus)

So I'm testing what Photo Service will work better than PhotoBucket which lately is getting really slow and unreliable for me.

TEST PHOTO is my SPS TANK before Mounting Frags.

I rarely get a photo of all my Fish in viewing.

This is a lucky shot. Even the Madarin showed up for this Fish Family Photo. Everyone except the Fire Goby is here.

1) Yellow Tang
2) Tomini Tang
3) Mandarin Goby
4) Spot Breast Angel
5) Fairy Wrasse
6) Purple Firefish Goby (not seen)

Original Photo Attached (Following posts will be Photo Repository tests)

PHOTO BUCKET (Resolution=1024)

 

[Wally.B]

Upload high Rest test

(Does Reef Central Reduce Image Resolution)?

All images look the same.

 

[Wally.B]

I SOLVED THE PHOTO Linking issue. It's "Photo Bucket" Photo Linking limit (resolution reduction). Future Posts will be FLICKR

Here is the thread where I tested things and solved it.

Just in time for two new Fresh Threads for each of my tanks.

http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2618116

And here is Proof that I can now Post Proper Images, any Resolution and Clear Quality.

PHOTO BUCKET doesn't work properly. Is lately unreliable, slow, and FULL of slowloading advertizments.

Here is FLICKR direct image (in higher Resolution)

Use CTRL+ or CTRL- to get perfect clarity.

Even higher resolution of my Basement SPS Tank.

And One photo of my Kitchen Mixed Tank
