Perry's 120 Gallon Reef

[markalot]

Nice.

That acid trip is bloody fantastic! I love it lol awesome pics

LOL Dom, I guess I kind of forget about them, but I can tell you that the Seasons Greetings is now encrusted on to the eggcrate stand I have it sitting on, I will get some pics up soon, I guess fragging will be as simple as breaking the piece of eggcrate, lol... I moved the jedi mind trick higher up, on a shelf in the back of the tank for more light. The purple and red montis are not getting much light, but thriving, the color is pretty close too :beer:

haha they're in a ood spot to be forgotten about and left to their own devices so I guess they're happy not getting much attention lol good to hear that they're going nuts though, monti's tend to do that don't they haha

Nice.

Thanks Mark, the frags will hopefully encrust in the coming weeks, and with a bit of luck, perhaps color slightly darker in tissue. On a side note, I dropped my t5's down another 2" off the water line(4" off water now), so hopefully I will get a bit more par.

Yes, I have a close eye on that piece mate!

Left to the corner of abandoned forgetfulness, lol

Hi Perry,

I'm going the other direction, raising lights up to reduce PAR. I'm 12 inches off glass lids now, and my PAR (I own a meter) is 375 at the base of my highest acro, 320 mid way, 240 at the sandbed.

I'm not so sure higher PAR is a good thing.

Great Additions Perry, the acid trip kinda looks like my AoA event horizon mille.

 

[biggles]

The new frags all look cool Perry, be great to watch them progress over the next 12 months mate. :thumbsup:

I have a soft spot for nice red or pink colored acros so the watermelon one is my favorite

Wow, RMF Acid Trip and Rommels WM!!! Awesome frags buddy. :beer:

Mark,
I have the tek elite fixture, and I am certain it does not put out nearly as much light as the ATI fixtures do, I have my eye on a powermodule, if I score it, I can assure you the fixture will be at least 6-8" off the water line, lol... I can still dream though, right In all seriousness, I am very happy with this light, it does a good job, I just feel that a bit more light will help the lower corals in the tank, and maybe give me a bit more color. I do not have a PAR meter, would be kind of cool to know though... I appreciate you checking in on the thread, I hope all is well your way my friend!

Thanks Dan, this one is going to have serious potential, not that it looks bad now, but I am looking to see it darken a hint, maybe that will bring on more color.

Thanks Andrew, I will be adding some more this weekend, maybe sooner. If I could just move my frags along, lol... I want my monti corner back I have 3 frags of the RR now, hopefully they will gain local interest and someone will stop over and clear my stash....lol...

Wow, RMF Acid Trip and Rommels WM!!! Awesome frags buddy. :beer:

Yep, the Orlando market is packed with all sorts of high end goodies, more will be coming soon... I need an excuse for a frag tank, or just an upgrade

I wish more reefers lived near me, I'd loan this meter out for free.

Things are going very well, except me lowering the light levels upset my anemone and now it's been sumped until i figure out where to put it in my smaller tank. Someone always doesn't like something, which is why I wish I was all SPS.

 

[biggles]

Anemones are acro napalm strikes just waiting to happen Mark.......... they're capable of despicable behavior when they decide to go for a wander........:hammer:

Very very nice. I'll have to come by and see your tank, just ignore the bone cutter clipper that'll be in my back pocket.



Now where did I put my turbo exlax so Perry go's away for a few minutes

 

[markalot]

Looking good Perry, can't wait to see some of the named frags grow up!

 

[ryanrid]

wow another stunning tank congrats.

Charles, now that is some funny crap, no pun intended, lol.... :spin3: Bring the bone cutters, I have plenty of beauties ready when you are! How are the tester frags doing, will be looking for an update

Yes, me too... If you scroll the pics of the frags from the top of the page to the updated ones, you will see a tissue darkening on the PL, with more pronounced pink, and with the RWM, you will see more electric green in the base towards encrusting point to the glue, more pronounced pink hues as well. The RMFAT remains unchanged at this point. I have other frags that I have not updated in awhile as well, but did lose my SSC to likely a turbo snail, and my goby, so on the hunt for another

wow another stunning tank congrats.

Thank You!

Tank is doing well. I'm battling some algea and cyano which I expected due to the rock being exposed to so much PO4 and N03 for 2 years without a skimmer, pellets or water changes.

I'll do a quick update on my thread.

Yep, saw your update, looks like you are on the right track Well, nothing more to really post here, just about to put a 1.25ml dose of zeospur into the tank, looking forward to the results, lol....

 

[cFloor]

Wow! Your tank is looking awesome. Your new frags are nice, tons of potential.

Hey Perry, wanted to stop in and say hey. The updated FTS looks incredible. It looks like the frags are gaining a little bit of color and have grown some. I hope that my corals will do the same, once I get around to it. Keep up the awesome work, and keep posting the pics!
