And the reason why I'm here.
Been collecting SPS the past month. All of them are from local reef members. I will try to stay away from maricultured and wild colony and want to have a completely captive SPS from frags. Also, no frag plug in my tank!
These acro frags are from a nub to 1". They're so small that I can't really ID them. They've been through Bayer dip so they can look a little rough.

Hawkin Echinata

Tricolor(?) Lost the purple!

Ponape Birdsnest

ORA frogskin. One of my favorite. The form on a colony is awesome! Really miss this one from my old tank.

Can't wait to see the progress as these grow up! Looking good.

I have total of 36 SPS frags so far. Although I think a couple of them are duplicate. I will wait for them to grow a bit before merging them. I'm getting another 20frags this weekend bringing the count up to 50+.
I'm also filling up the sandbed. LPS and Clams are my other fetish.

Awesome setup. Looking good so far :beer:

Wow! This is a sweet sweet setup! Gotta love those Elos tanks... All looks good, VERY nice scape...two islands look pretty cool; they're low enough to allow plenty of fish swimming space, as well as making allowance for future coral growth. :beer:

Elos is an Italian aquarium company. They have a US distribution that used to be ran by Jesse in CA. Now Coralvue is the main distributor of Elos products.

Here are more frags acquired last couple weeks. They're been Bayer dipped so the condition is a little rough. The naming of the acros can be questionable but I'm just going by what the seller named it. As they get bigger, I can give them an accurate ID. But I'm pretty of the name for most of them.

Miyagi Tort. This one really took a beating from the dip.

Strawberry Shortcake

Purple Passion

Rainbow Acro

Red Planet
