Nice collection

Thanks solitude127, I took some quick pictures. My Tri color and my blue voodoo are really coloring up. My clowns were being hams and getting in the way

The clowns are proaquatix Black Ice. They take their Premium Snowflake and black and mix them. Their premiums are very white. So thats how they get the bleed through of white on the stripes. Cool thing is one side is like a fancy (puzzle like patterns) and the other bleeds through on each. Also as they have grown they are really getting bright orange. Cyclopeeze I believe helps.

Thanks the Blue Voodoo is a great piece if you see one grab it. Fast growing and great color. Nice polyp extension too.

Great work on this tank. The coral selection is good and they are looking happy and healthy. Bonus is that 30% water changes isn't much!! I'm jealous

Thanks for the comment and yes the water change volume is a whole lot easier on this size than what you have. I just hope I can achieve the type of results you get in your systems. You have outstanding tanks so you've made my day with your comments.

Is that a purple stylo on the right? I love your tank btw! (Also what does your radion graph look like im interested as I have 3 on my 125)

Thanks for getting back to me so fast! Looking at the FTS it looked more blue! You are as we say, "Doing it right."

 

[Boa1277]

Looks like a Wally nice setup can't wait to watch it mature

 

[ange062]

Tank is looking really sweet man! Love the firefish, so cool looking for a cheap fish. No issues with them jumping? Can't wait to see this thing in 6-mo, going to look great.

Radion profile looks nice too, giving me ideas for mine.

Thank you, I took these while the tank was at 20K and did not adjust any white balance on the camera. Still need to work on my photography skills..

Had not heard that expression before--thanks for the nice comments...Its nice that the tank is starting to look like more than just some colored sticks now...

Thanks Ange, The firefish are great I had 3 but these two took the third one out early. They have been fine together for a few months now though. Nice color and movements..and cheap too!!! No jumping problem as I have put my screen back on after my Dragonet decided to go over the wall...miss him but I do not feel like training another right now. It puts to much nutrients in the tank as well when doing all those feedings..

Looks like you're getting some great growth Ted! Are you manually dosing now? The automated dosing makes life much, much easier....all I do now is feed and refill the ATO resevoir once a week. I started to get good growth, but then I moved as you know and had a bit of a mini-cycle. To add to that my Sol started to malfunction (some light circuits not working and fan not working) so I had to run at 50%. Now that I'm back to normal hopefully I'll see good growth again. It would be nice to trade some frags with you.

Thanks things are going well. Yes I am still manaually dosing the auto doser is next on the list. Either profulix stand alone or the Bubble Magus. I'm leaning to the profulix but I need it to fit on a hanging shelf. The bubble magus shelf looks to small for it. I do not feet like a DIY even though it would be small. So I might just go bubble magus to be easy. Both sound like good units. I am looking forward to the point you are at. Sorry to hear about the issues with your move but good to hear its getting back on track. Anytime on the frags. I have a nice hyacinth frag, a small orange tip Birdsnest and Scripps. Also a tip I broke off the Miami orchid looks to be encrusting but is really small. Everything else is still to small to frag. Pm me if you want to try to meet sometime your just down the road.
