March trials and coral pics

[tfp]

well, march was a mediocre month. my calcium reactor sprung a small leak at a seal and made a little mess. also, after replacing my UV sterilizer bulb, it sprung a little leak at the wiper nut. i've noticed more algae as i've upped my feedings because of more fish. i experimented in controlling that algae by increasing the flow thru my phosphate reactor and noticed some RTN on a couple frags :mad2:.

despite the minor setbacks, most corals are growing pretty good. pics taken with our canon a95.

My newest passion thats keeping me going...Yumas

yellow tort (not the greatest pic)

pams yellow milli is really taking off right now

undata recovering from nudis and that stylo in the background is downright sweet!

Great stuff as usual Tim!!!!

 

[brianbigoats]

Tim how are the red stag and Ponape Torach frags doing?

 

[tfp]

brian, the ponape doesn't have much polyp extension on it for some reason. i can tell the red stag is still acclimating to my tank conditions. i think i might have it up too high .

 

[maxdout]

excellent pics of your corals

 

[brianbigoats]

Tim
My Ponape doesn't have much polyp extention during the day all you see is the tip of the bright purple polyp in the corlite. from what I have seen in mine as well as other's tanks the red stag hase a hard time for the first month in a new tank then the color really perks up mine is just stating to look good and it loves the light Clint has it 12-14" under 400W MH

 

[FishGuy5]

Beautiful stuff!

Tim- My Red Stag has really just started to encrust. I have been looking for a fire engine monti. Where did you get that and how long have you had that one.

PS. I think you need to do some rearranging of your rocks;...oops...more frags for Mark. I did not see any pics of Howie.

Nice yuma collection you've got going.

 

[tfp]

thanks for the kind words everyone.
brian, i'll keep a close eye on the two i got from you .

mark, the fire engine monti i have originated from copps in november of 2005 (way before it became an AE coral). copps called it a vesuvius danae and it glows like crazy . howie will be in upcoming photos .

herman, can you help add to my collection?

 

[duec22]

Tim, I've got a yuma you can have...I'll PM you my work e-mail, let me know if you want it.

As usual, awesome stuffs. :thumbsup:

 

[Unarce]

Sorry to hear about all the mishaps, Tim You wouldn't know it by the way your tank looks, though

The Fire Engine Monti looks really nice. Now, I regret giving that one away when I had it :lol:

 

[fishsoldseprtly]

Tim you need a HOT PINK and RED Yuma to your collection. Everything looks good bro.
