My SPS reef tank

[CJ 1098]

Your tank is looking very good. Congrats on a job well done!
What are the origins of your acros? Are they wild imported, aquacultured or maricultured?
If they are wild or maricultured do you quarantine them? HAve you ever had any issues with pests such as acropora eating flat worms and red bugs?

 

[Vladis]

The most of the corals are aquacultured corals, and frags colected from a local akvariums in a district. Some of the corals are from the reef pet shops. And are aquacultured corals. I was lucky and I newer had a flatworms or ader pests in a akvarium. But I'm afraid to by some new corals. I dipp oll acropora bifore I pott dem in a main reef tank.
Bifore a maunth ago I by one new acropra valida- nanna and dident know where to pot dis acro. I was not shure where in the tank I gona pleace it. So I diside to giv it a fy days and think over dat.
I pot a valda in one smal tank of 60 l. After a fy days a so som white sports under a coral like all base was litelbit bleacht. Diside to dipit.
The smal transparent flatwarms like 1-4 mm just coveret a glassbul after a dipp So I was happy datt I dident put it streit to the main tank. I gat something to tink abort in the future. Dipp oll my corals.
I hope I newer get dose nastey warms in my reef tank. It vil be a dezaster to se all my acropora get slowly chew by flatwarms.

How big were the acros when you put them in, were the small frags?
How long has your tank been setup for? What lighting are you running?

 

[Vladis]

The tank is a 4 yers old. Som of the frags was just a 6-7 cm a smal frags. And fy of dem a litelbit biger colonies lik 7-9 cm akross.
In a desember 2011 I frag all my colonies bicous ther ware just to bigg. Did that just to referat litelbit and giv dem a cheance to grow more.
I juse 3 x Coral Wiue el balasts, lagre reflectors with a cover glass and Reef Lux 400 w bulps 12000 k.
I want to try a Reef Lux 20 000 k bit I think Maybe it will be to much blue efect.
I know dat coloration on all corals wil reele stend out. But I'm not shure if the corals will like that.
Miste try soon.

Bifore a maunth ago I've seen a beautiful acropora millepora in a local store.It vas a mixture of yellow - light green base with a light bluesh polipps and dark blue tips. It was so nice and oso very ekspensive. Today I visit anlocal reef shop the same millipora was stell ther but brown and dark withaut dose bright colors . Nothing I jusualy will giv alot monny for. But I knew what a potensials dis acropora have. So I get it for 1/2 of price bicous of the boring collor. I gona giv it a time, and I now dis millepora will be amaising an very colorful.

Gat a new dipwater acro oso,but I 'm not shure of the name or ID.
