My humble SPS journey - Shallow 80g

Great thread! Nice build. Following...

Glad to have ya here, thanks!

Those are nice frags buddy. :)

Thanks Sahin, really appreciate it. Hopefully I can get my colors to compare to yours one day. :D





I've got more photos today for documentation purposes. :)

Red Planet. This thing has been bleached since the transfer, I don't think it's liking the T5's very much. I might try to lower it and see how that does, but I figured it would have regained its zoox population by now. Growth is really starting to take off though.

Thanks Dom, I appreciate it buddy. I think I'll probably start placing things this week since a few of the acros are about to start encrusting off of their plugs.... :p

I just keep looking at that frag collection! Awesome!! I can't wait to see them all mounted! :D
 
Catching up from the last page, great fish and coral pics, everything is looking great. Where did you get those frags? Don't make me drive down there. :D
 
Nice pics and picks josh:thumbsup:
Encrusting is always a good sign!Good job

Thanks Mark. Most of these frags are from my brother's old tank, I took a frag from each of his colonies to start my tank off. I think most of my future purchases will be from BC.

Nice fraggage!
we'll need an updated fts when they have been properly installed in the reef.

I'll be sure to update the FTS! Thanks. :)
 
I still haven't placed the frags yet, I've kind of been holding off as there's an impending move coming up since my parents are building a house and closing could be as soon as next week. I'm not worried about the move, it's 15 minutes away and will be carefully done as we'll own both properties so there'll be no rush. Anyways this update isn't about that, let's get to the good stuff. :)

I bought a 5 pack from Adam at Battle Corals recently, they came in Tuesday. The water was rather cold so they bleached out rather badly in shipping, but so far I haven't seen any STN or anything and PE has been excellent. I think they'll be okay.

Very happy that my pink lemonade is getting its yellow back, it's been more of a green since the tank transfer.
