Some of the things I baught from last nights Meeting (my first SPS)

[seth16]

yesterday i was able to buy my first SPS to be kept in a tank of mine. After my new lights were availalbe and baught, i was then able to put some nice corals in there. Well, first of all, i WON a Green Montipora Digitata in the raffle, so that was cool, then i also won the auctions for a Blue Tipped Acropora (looks like a Blue Tort to me), Potato chip coral (SOO cool, has little tentacles that come out), GALAXEA (MY FAVORITE!!! SOOOO COOL!!!!), A nice piece of LR with Anthelia, a Blue Mushroom (Big, thanks Marcye ), and some Bright Orange Montipora Capricornis... Here are some pics... some pics are to show many corals at once, some to focus on certain items solely...you can figure it out...lol

OH...and some Kenya Tree (again, THANKS MARCYE!!!!)lol

I will be moving the corals around to adjust them to the light and also to keep SPS and LPS a bit distanced from each other... i hear that if they are too close, that one can kill the other

and just HOW fast do you think my SPS will grow under my T5's? like in inches..... im curious to know, because the acro i baught said on the package "fast growing" and the digitata, everyone was telling me the same thing....well, how fast do you think they, and even my softies, will grow under my lights?

Congrats Seth! How fast they grow has to do with many factors..not just light. Ca, Alk, MG, flow, placement, feeding, bio-load, water quality..etc. In my experience, I had an orange montipora capricornis grow from the size of a fifty cent piece to the size of a trash can lid in 18 months. My digitatas grew up out of the water.

Seth - move that GALAXEA if you want the others to last. the feelers can reach WAY out - just ask my former green digi!

I'm so depressed I let you outbid me on the Galaxia....

 

[seth16]

well, thank you Brannon, i love it, and will gladly frag you off a head sometime

 

[sytanek]

It's okay, it was either that or the blasto merletti, which I got and turned out to be very nice looking.

Looks like I need to cut up my base ball size Galaxia. Who has a small jewelry saw?

 

[sytanek]

Not me, but I would be interested in a frag.

 

[seth16]

mee too, im a Galazia fanatic now

What kind of lighting are you running? I see a lot of yellow light.

do you have a pic of it so we can see?

 

[sytanek]

Hrmm not at the moment, I've been having a rough week. I'll see if I can get my wife to shoot a pic. They are fairly small polyp's, but 5 or 6 of them.
