For people that like picture these are taken under blues using a nikon d7000 standard lens high ISO and 3.5f i used a brown filter ( acrylic film nothing special) it removes the blue spike and shows the coral fluorescence not every bodies cup of tea but i do it now and again to see how the corals are doing

YEAH I should re phrase that, issues with lighting and equipment one after the other.I lost some colour due to losing the lights then the calc reactor packed up it takes time to come back.I had every thing running great and the corals at there best but always something happens in this hobby.

Even after your fragging job, the tank is still busting at the seams!
Looking awesome.

It's an ongoing job I can now see the 2 ssc frags i put on the top shelf just under the histerix and they are a good size with nice colour.I managed to get the red dragon out of the middle and cut in half .I am getting a par meter in this week to see how the levels are.
Thanks Bill

 

[Wrangy]

Love it! Just awesome Bill

Guys
Any idea on what strontium usage would be as i had an icp test last month and added the recommendations I had another done last week and a couple of minor additions with the exception of strontium which says I need to add 350 is ml over 3 days which seems a lot in a month.
Bill

 

[maxwell]

Hi
The amount is 537ml over 3 days not as above.
Thanks Bill

Got no idea about the strontium Bill but the tank looks unreal! So much coral :inlove:

I have put it in and so far so good no bad effects I have yet to add the 1 ml of zinc per week but might leave that .I will post the icp results later as lots people chase numbers. I have pulled 3 colonies out 2 on the frag rack at the side but it still looks full and my sunset milli frag is showing good growth and I thought it would be slow also my bali sc.are frag is showing a bit colour no red skin yet but green hue changing.
