I have delayed posting this because I still have my crappy PC lighting above the tank, but I figure I will just update here when I get the new lights! All LPS minus the zoanthids. I'm an acan addict

wow looks great. do your sun polyps only come out at night? or are they out during the day as well?

 

[TwistedEnvy]

Wow someone commented lol!

Yea the last picture of them is during the day, I think they only go to sleep late during the night till about an hour after the lights come on. There are two more dendros behind the huge one there, but it kind of covers them up in the pics haha

If you are talkin about the small ones on top, those fell behind a rock and lived for about 4 months with no light/feedings, so I am 99% sure they are dendros. I've been training them to come out during the day too

So twisted in the 3rd picture down what are the names of the first two polies under the green ones at the top. I have both but have not been able to find a name that matches.

This pic? I think you are talking about the goochsters and what someone called poseidons fury but i bought as rainbow palies?

 

[Dave VG]

Aw man forgot to say in my last post very nice. And yep thats the pic. Hey if you get the chance could you get a better pic of the rainbows please. I was thinking that's what mine were but wasn't sure. I don't want to bugger up this thread with requests but if you could that would be great. If not i understand.

Heres a pic of it when I first got it:

by the way, I have started using this food called Limpit's Reef Buffet, and all of my corals and fish love it. Limpit is a local reefer here who has been making the food for a while but I just recently got some. He makes it in this nice small particle formula that is perfect for my feeder tube (I have one of those glass tubes from another reefer on another website). I think it has stuff like selcon and everything already mixed in and when it thaws there is no water to get rid of. I think my acans are loving me even more for it lol

Thanks for the pic and info, the food sounds interesting. That pic is close to mine but not quite the same coloration but pretty close. Oh and I feed my tank Marine snow and mysis and everything seems to be happy. Again nice tank!!!!

 

[TwistedEnvy]

Oh i found this about the food (since someone asked me about i figured i would post it)

ORIGINAL BLEND

Mysis shrimp, squid, fish eggs, cyclopeze, lions and tigers and bears - oh my! (OK, we made up that last part).


Original Blend is a well balanced assortment of the finest foods available of corals and fish. This particular bend has a mixture of small, but also some larger sized pieces suitable for feeding medium to large fish.

New pics

I just noticed that I didnt get any pictures on Photobucket of the light itself accidentally, I will do that tonight. But here are the photos with a BluePlus and PurplePlus on. Unfortunately, I didnt do anything with the white balance so these pics are a little bluer than the tank is
