illumnae's SPS shallow reef

[Pife]

I like your new scape.

And here's the new scape! Hope it looks good enough... I've set up 2 tubs and will start cycling the rocks in salt water with Fritz and Prodibio bacteria for 2 weeks. I may also dose some TM Reef Mud Vital into the tubs to hopefully seed some additional micro fauna into the rocks.

Very nice scape.
The rock looks very much like real live rock as well.

Thank you! I really love the Real Reef Rock - I had been looking for it and could not find a way to get it in Singapore until recently. It was one of the "consolations" to me having to tear down my tank - at least I can set it back up with a Real Reef Rock scape!

The dip process is finally over and I really hope that nightmare is over. Rocks are now in but the tank is a mess as I haven't had the time to glue the corals in yet. It's a lot easier buying a few a week and gluing them in than 70ish colonies and frags at once. The colour coordination gives me a headache!

What a marathon! God luck!

 

[DiscusHeckel]

Good luck, sir. I hope you will not have to repeat this routine.

 

[illumnae]

Thank you both very much. I really hope so too!

Treated myself to a nice frag pack to celebrate the end of the dipping nightmare :bounce1:

Oh baby that’s nice!!!
What’s the bottom right pink granulosa looking one?

 

[illumnae]

The seller just called it "golden granulosa"

 

[reefmutt]

I am in love!!!

 

[illumnae]

I hope i manage to do it justice by keeping its colour as it grows

Is this frag pack sold this way?
All the frags glued onto one big disk?

I picked the frags and the seller glued them onto the big disk for delivery.

 

[Pife]

Wow. That frag pack is incredible!

Here's what the tank looks like now. Long way to go to colour everything up, but it's a start! I'm working on the next video that will hopefully be out soon

Looks pretty darn good from here!!

What kind of tang is the striped one? Looks like a convict with a stripe on its face?

 

[Piper27]

Those are some beautiful frags too, where did they come from? Are they wild or tank grown? The colors are amazing.
