Some New Tank Photos

[Tactics]

Hi All,

I love this forum and thought I'd share some photos. The tank is still new but I hope it will grow out well.

:wavehand: Welcome

I'd love to see a full tank shot and hear more about your tank. It looks like you have some beautiful corals and a great start. Tell us more.

Welcome to RC. Those are beautifully coloured SPS. Do please share your tanks specs and methodology. Thanks.

Nice tank.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. To be honest, I'm very new to reefkeeping. The tank was started in January and I purchased a 90gal Elos system as I didn't know how to build the tank. With some advice from my friend and a lot of research on ReefCentral, I took the jump.

The SPS bug bit pretty quickly and so that's what I am trying to focus on. There's not much to the upkeep of my tank.

- Just weekly 20 gallon water changes
- Elos PS1000 skimmer
- No dosing - parameters stay stable if I keep up with the weekly water changes
- Small refugium (ironically I'm not setup correctly to grow chaetomorpha)
- 2x Radions at 14k (I did have some problems with browning with the red spectrum)
- 2x MP40

Most of the corals were purchased as 2 inch frags or 3inch mini colonies. Still have some corals that are still brown and working towards coloring up.

So that's basically it. Pretty simple setup.

I'm not good at IDing corals. I just know it's a deeper water acro.

I agree.. Nice looking tank! Would love to see full tank shots as well. What kind of camera & lens are you using if you don't mind me asking? How did you set your white balance?

 

[ShaunMonahan]

Nice looking corals you have there. FTS?

 

[Stand_Alone]

We need a FTS!

 

[Tactics]

Here's a FTS. Still a long way to go.

Kluver - I am using a Canon 5d3 with 100mm L lens, which I just upgraded from a 550d. Still learning how to use the new camera but I do enjoy it. The internal WB options in the 5d are pretty good but still need some minor post processing.
