was this just a test of adding in a comment to see if it would save?

Was a post of a few pictures of some coral I shot yesterday when cleaning my tank. I was blown away with the colors I was seeing, so I thought I must be doing something wrong. I have never seen the colors pop like they were yesterday.
However the post was not working, I could not get pics to load so I ended it at 1 am last night.
Will try again, we'll see if it works this time.
I have not changed a thing other than adding 6 fish over the last 5 or so weeks.

Nice it worked!
Not as exciting as last night though, I was pretty pumped up.
Things still looking good, till the next change (you know how it goes)

Yes, those look great.

 

[krshlln300]

wow! full tank shot? lighting? parameters etc?

 

[MondoBongo]

yowza, those look fantastic.

Wow kevin, they look great! Although it is hard for me to imagine how your tank could look any better than when I saw it. Maybe your coral appreciated the added bioload from the new fish?

Beautiful stuff Kevin!!!

Thanks guy's
FTS coming soon, I need to move out some very large Hammers, Bubble & Duncan corals. They are hiding a lot of stuff.
This view that I got of the color was from the top looking down, it's just not the same cool look looking through the front glass.
Ca - 440
Alk - 8.5
Mg - 1400
Po4 - .00 to .03
No3 under .02
Ph - 7.8 - 7.9
Temp - 77.5 - 78.5
I run a 29 gal fudge full of Cheato & GFO and Carbon reactors.
Vlangel, I think it does help with the added bioload, but I had more fish before my Starry Blenny started knocking off 1 by 1 a few months ago till I was down to 4 fish. Now I'm back to around 10 fish.

If I remember correctly you feed pretty heavy also so I am sure your coral weren't starving, ha ha!

 

[krshlln300]

what lighting are you using?

 

[kevinl]

I have 2 Radion pros, I just picked up a 48" Reef Brite led strip light (blue) to add to the front of the tank.

I was told the fish poop is what the corals like, do the corals actually feed off of the feedings?
I have the auto feeders on both tanks, they feed small amounts of NLS pellets four times a day & I am recently feeding Mysis & LRS twice a day and once or twice a day with frozen cyclopeeze.
So yes the feedings have increased some, maybe that is helping.

Depends on the coral, but most will snag food from the water when they can get it.

I've seen some really cool images of acros feeding. Most of them have been posted on other forums, so I won't link to them, but I think to an extent all corals appreciate feeding.
