Perry's 120 Gallon Reef

[plyle02]

4th coral down is amazing, im chasing one of those down here....overall tank is great! What bulb combo are you running these days

Thanks Rodney! I love that coral too, I believe it to be an ORA Chips Acro... Fuzziest coral I have, lol... Bulb combo is all ATI- 1xaquablue special, 1x actinic, 1x coral plus, and 5x blue plus... I think

I love coral one and four, and obviously the Red Planet:inlove:
The colors are coming along really really well - you are representing the Aquaforest rebel alliance brilliantly!

LOL Matt, that blue acro is just the standard cali tort from ora, the planet is still doing it's thing, the RR has colored down in the base, greyed out a bit I suppose. ORA old school baby, just letting them color a trick with the AF system, lol....

Awesome stuff Perry, really beautiful mate............... for rebel scum.........:blown:

Noting the juvenile acros on the bottom the imperial sweeper drone began dropping fungoidians to smother the rebel younglings..........

Looking stunning Perry! Number one is gorgeous! :inlove: ..... Not bad for a rebellious traitor

Your Red Robin is starting to look like some of the original Frag Farmers photos, very nice.

Yes all the rebel alliance can do to keep you aussies at bay with those sick wilds! Oh wait, don't get the idea to run the Rebel Program over there mate, I hear someone down under might just be joining That's all we need, fresh glowing acro cuts from aussie, grown under rebel care, might not be fair

Mark,
Thanks for the info, I looked it up, and it does appear to be taking on the same coloration, so I guess I am at least representing lineage coloration Most corals in the tank look great right now, but there are always a stubborn few, lol...

Perry, your corals are doing sensationally!!
I also love the red robin.
Gotta get me one.
Tank is looking really good!!

Hey perry is there a reason why it seems you have to clean the glass more often now with the af system. ? Im finding out i have to clean almost every day now

Matt,
Thanks man, coming from an acro god like you, that is a very nice thing to say! Wish you were below the border, I would get you a piece, this one could use a trim for sure

Ok,
I am really glad you addressed this question, mainly because I forgot to update the thread that the daily, or in some cases twice per day glass cleaning has subsided to every 3-5 days now. I think it is the addition of the coral A, B, V, and E that might have led to this in the beginning, but the system adjusted, the daily swiping lasted about 2 weeks, but just a theory. I also went to every other day dosing, instead of daily on all the above supplements, so that likely was why.... hmmmm......:reading:

 

[milsaltnewbie07]

Thanks Perry guess that makes sense. Ill go to EOD dosing after the initiatial 2 weeks of the vits. Or do you recommend i should start now ?

Perry your tank is looking really good, cute puppy as well!

I see no harm in starting now, you may see the glass film decline, so I don't think it will hurt. What products are you using at this time?

Thank you very much Josh!
The puppy is a cutie, but a PITA too, getting huge already, lol...

Yeah I bet, ahaha. I want another dog soon, but it's not a good time right now.

Sounds good to me, your system must be on the small side. I am not using the components at this time, maybe soon though. As long as you stay the course to the system, you should do well. I find it pretty much as easy as going according to the PDF, for the most part

Josh,
If things aren't right, don't do it, lol.... This puppy is in to everything, and expected to be around 120 lbs too.... Like having another kid...

Yea its a 62g cube with 20g sump. Im starting it half dose to be on the safe side. But i can see improvements improvements

 

[plyle02]

Here are some potential frags that are starting to look good and take off, I have quite a few more that have been undocumented, I am sort of waiting for them to heal on the liverock, then making some photos... The Pink Lemonade and Acid Trip Milli are looking pretty darn good to me

Like having a permanent 2 year old actually. I have 4 at the same time...talk about chaos!

Is coral # 4 a SSC? It looks almost orange rather than pink. The colors look really good, very saturated. No pastel pale colors there
