My 80gal starfire reef

Your tank is SICK!!! What kind of lighting do you have? Looks much bigger than 80 gallons, nice aquascape and nice corals.

Thanks. I use Phoenix 250 watt double ended halides. They haven't been changed for over 18 months and are still good. I also have T5's and T12's.

I found some three month old macro pictures on a cd and wanted to share them. Not all are sps but this is what I have.

Amazing tank! I love the lyretail school, your plumbing and especially that stand/canopy combo is great and those different color layered monti's are beautiful - great tank!

 

[Haeun]

Your tank is absolutely beautiful, and a huge inspiration. Thank you for sharing!

I am having my biology teacher come and take some photos of my tank this week. I excited because he is an excellent photographer. I will let everyone know when I get them up. Thanks for looking.

What is this? You're the first person I've ever seen with them also. I've had two color morphs of it. It appears to be a mix between a blasto and a lobo and it has weird tentacles that come from the center ring. Mine have their own skeletons like candy canes. Curious if yours do also or if they just look like my mystery coral.

 

[WILLIAM2]

WOW thats a great set up, and I really like the assortment of colors you have going on.

 

[jackson6745]

Beautiful growth. Well done!

 

[spleify]

Great photography work

 

[sixtygallon212]

Sorry to everyone that is waiting for new pictures, my teacher has been flaking and I don't own a good camera. I am trying my hardest to find someone that I think can take good pictures.

SBJim
Thanks for the coral offers but I have no room for new corals as of now. If you want to come and look at my tank I would be glad to show it to you. You can PM me if you want and we can set up a time.

I believe the coral you are asking about is an Australian Lobo. I got it from my store and I know it is from Australia, really nice coral and we are both lucky to have one as Australia is stricked on their exports.
