My new A.G.E. SPS dominated reef

This goes to show that the camera is not what makes a good photographer. Even with Fred's camera your pictures are still only held up by the coral's stunning growth and colors.

LOL FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU Alfred...lol

Created a frag section in the sump, I am using a little Vortech MP10, its around 10G section, so there is enough flow with that little pump. I hung a Giesemann Nova2 for now, may mod it to a 250W soon. Here's the pump tumbling chaeto..lol

And here is the little section with racks/light and pump

Just added a little female for my favorite fish

Actinics only

All 10 bulbs on

Nice tank!
Do you still have the male flame? Just wondering how they do in the long run.

 

[offroadodge]

Very cool little tank, sometime i want a small one

Nice tank!
Do you still have the male flame? Just wondering how they do in the long run.

Actually the Male Flame jumped, so I put up a screen top, with smaller mesh. One of the females is already gotten twice as big, and is quickly becoming male. This took around 2 months.

Thanks for the nice comments....
I'm thinking about going BB especially since I have three vortechs in the tank. I've been siphoning out the sand a little each week, as I do WC's. Not 100% committed to it yet.

Just added this piece last night, going to slowly move it up to where it's final resting spot will be.

Moved some rock, and removed more coral, to make room for growth.

Beautiful Echinata!

I've been debating the BB decision too. What are you plans for the base? keep the PVC exposed, starboard, something else?

Are you cool with the coralline encrusted BB?

 

[bz350]

wow your tank is stunning. i love all the wrasses

 

[inktomi]

Sorry if I missed it, but are you still dosing vodka?

 

[highpower9979]

that setosa is ... the tank is a beut

 

[fishez4alivin]

Sorry if I missed it, but are you still dosing vodka?

Yup 17 ml a day
Alfred, I am still debating the BB idea, I have an area in the back that has been BB from the beginning, and I am not fond of the coralline that grows there. It looks like I will be replacing the sand that I've been removing.

Thanks guys for the nice comments

wow, gorgeous tank!!! Love your rockwork!

how's the purple tang's temperament when you added the flame wrasses? did he harrass them at all? how big is the purple tang?

Thanks and keep up the good work.
