Very nice, and what fantastic growth since this time last year. Have the new corals added (green slimmer, etc) grown from frags?

Cheers, Mark.
 
Beautiful tank!

Thanks Craig.

A lot have been grown from frags, some were small colonies when I got them. The slimer was a frag, it has grown at an incredible rate. Unfortunately I had an issue with my pillar on the left hand side of my tank, so right now it is sitting on a piece of rock in the bottom left hand corner. I have to fix my scaping, but I'm waiting for my new protein skimmer to come in this week before I start shaking things up.

You a Docker's or Eagles fan? One of my good friends lives in Freo, hard to believe it has been over 6 years since I spent some time there.

Wow Wow Wow that is just an amazing tank

Really great tank!

Thanks!

Amazing colour. Can please post the sump picture?

I will do that, I also need to post some pics of my lighting as well.

Beautiful setup. Love the colors. There's definitely something to a T5/LED combo.

So far so good, has been only a short period of time but I like it, not regretting Darryl's advice to go that route at all.

Awesome Candle light!! One of my favorite corals hands down; the thing just pops!!! Looking good!

The colour is incredible. I just got this piece a few weeks ago, I'm hoping it holds it colour.

truly beautiful :)
looking good

Thanks Felix.

great pics.....which millepora is that last picture?

That is the sunset under the LED's only. I don't know what it is about that piece, but it is photogenic. I enjoy taking pics of that coral more than any other in my tank.
 
i love your tank. great scape and all the different colors from the corals. how long did it take the frags to get where they are now from 1''?

Thanks. The scape needs to be reworked on one pillar unfortunately. Also, my skimmer went so right now I'm going skimmer free... hopefully the new one will be in by Friday, it is fingers crossed for the time being. The corals look alright but I'm going to watch closely.

Regarding growth, some grow slow, some grow fast.

July 2011 Prostrata (fast grower)

July 2011 Green Stag (very fast grower)

The green stag can be seen in my FTS on the first page in May 2012, top left. It is suffering at the moment. It broke off my pillar and has been slowly receding at the base, so I'm going to break it off at the base and re-epoxy to my revised pillar, after I have my protein skimmer up and running.

A lot of 1" frags in my opinion will start to encrust, and encrust they will for months (like my strawberry shortcake), then eventually start to grow out and up. Others, like my prostrata, just grow out with very little encrusting. The green slimer is a prime example of that.
