Beautiful anemone collection. They all look healthy. I really like that green tip malu, very nice!

What are the fixtures and lights you used for the extra light?

I use the daylight 120 W equivalent 5500K light bulbs.

Just added the third Leopard wrasse, M. meleagri, last week. Here is a picture of the Leopard wrasse trio, and the Flame angel pair.

I got a new Red Carpet today from Aquatic Collection. I think the color is exceptional. It is the best red Carpet I have ever seen. 1st day and he is already doing well in my QT. Here are a few pictures taken today, barely a few hours after I put him into the QT.

Congrats! I'm glad it went to a good home. It's the perfect size too.

Thanks D-Nak.
I took picture of him today. Also take picture of the Bali blood red minicarpet in the same tank with same lighting. In real live and in picture, the Haddoni is redder than the Bali minicarpet.

I am happy with the condition of the tank. Nutrient level is a little high so I do have some nuisance algae, but nothing I cannot handle nor look too bad.

Few picture of the clowns and carpets:

Am I seeing things or you tie your corals to a string and let them grow out like that?

Corals really grow well suspended on a string. Very nice color and nice shape. I mainly grow these to frag for swab meets. Well color all around.

 

[m0nkie]

that's a neat idea! no more snails knocking off frags and killing them.

does the coral spin around all day with SPS flow?

 

[OrionN]

You really don't want the hanging SPS corals in a really high flow area. Even just mild flow will result in high but non damaging flow for the corals. The grow pattern and coloration is really beautiful. No shade area what so ever, and very even growth.

Awesome tank and pictures

I've only seen the suspended technique with Glenn from Holland. Interesting concept. I might try that some day.

Use hevy duty fishing line. This prevent breakage of the line. 20 lbs test line at least.

I fed my Red Haddoni some salmon. I guess there were too much fat in it and he had indigestion. Contracted, not deflated, for a few day, but seem to be back to normal. He also dig deeper into the sand move a little. His contraction make me a little nervous for a few days but everything seem back to normal at this time. Below is an early morning picture today. Light is ramping up but still a little blue (2 hrs ramping up).

I also got a Green Elegance with purple tip tentacles. I need to take a good picture of him and post. He is beautiful also.
