Johnny C's 57G Illuminata Rimless Reef

Thanks for the gracious compliments. I fragged up a few polyps of the People Eaters for tomarrow. See everyone then!

Nice update! Things are looking great! Love that rainbow trachy

Here's an actinic close-up of the piece (colors were WAY off in the FTS)... which by way also came in as a browned out coral. :smokin:

holy rainbow batman, gosh thats pretty very nice with the FTS as well!
keep them coming!!

I can see why you guys have such amazing corals after being in ARC! Sorry I missed ya...sort of. I might have had to buy something with the peer pressure and all. FTS is amazing!!

Curious, what pump are you using as a return from the sump? Basically doing the same setup only 24" tall and your build will save me some time/planning.

not so much peer pressure, but several of your friends coming over and saying, "hey, did you see that?" or "you gotta see what so and so has..." or "look what i found...."

I'm using a Maxijet Utility 3000 that pumps to a 3/4'' SCWD. I absolutely love my pump, it's dead silent and the flow is adjustable aka no ball valves!

Haha, you guys crack me up. Wait until I get my prop system going!

That thing is great. Even better than your previous one. Mine is very similar in color, and also doesn't look quite as good in a FTS.

The rainbow looks so good.

 

[Johnny C]

Why thanks... it's one of my favorite pieces. I've come to realize that rainbow brains require LOW light (-150 PAR) to show colors best.

I probably won't have many updates on the 57G for a few weeks... working on a side project. Without straying OT too much, here's a preview.
