mother colony under 400w radiums with large LB reflectors.


I am getting better colors out of frags placed about 10" lower than mother colony. I am thinking about switching out next bulb change to 250w radiums. I have the galaxy select-a-watt set on 400w turbo. I will first turn down setting to just 400w on ballast.

thanks!
i do dose some additives have tried a lot. I'm not sure they do a whole lot, it has more potential like in my avatar, thats when I first got it. I've used kz/pohls, now I'm using red sea/ap.

I haven't been photographing my tank that often, but now that I have a new camera I'll start putting something together.

Look forward to it. Please PM me link when you do. Would love to read about your tank.

PS, it doesnt matter when you start a thread. I prefer threads started once the system is a little mature anyway because you get to see the good results of a system.

chances are good ! this is a wild/maricultured coral from australia and we are getting colonies here in quebec on a regular basis.

here's my little frag !

Thats a nice picture . what kind of camera and lens did you use ?

amazing the diversity of colors in the same coral

Much of which can be attributed to the wide range of cameras/phones taking the pictures and the lighting used on the tank.

i have a shade of fall nasuta also and it looks very similar to the ssc. Are they related?

Typically what a ssc is an A. Microlados and not Nasuta. But there a lot of similar varieties out there getting the name SSC thrown on it. At least that's what I've seen....

Nice pieces everyone!! When I got mine about 8-10 months ago it was a really nice size frag. After an alk issue about 6 months ago I lost most of it. After several fraggings I managed to save a tine piece. In the last couple months all of its tissue has grown back around the skeleton, it has begun encrusting the plug again and has colored up really nicely. Cant wait for it to grow into a nice big colony! first shot was a couple weeks ago under my old t5s. Newest shot top down under my new mh fixture! View attachment 276663
