WOW!!!

First off, I didn't realize you had seahorses! Excellent!

Secondly, whats growing/encrusting your overflow?

And lastly, what is that large LPS colony in the last pic? It appears to be a red with yellow centered goni but I see some crazy sweepers I think.

I've had seahorses for about 4 and a half years. Rsiedsome from fry.

Moinitpora is encrusting on the overflows: one has rainbow, one poker star and one a nice bright green variant. There is some blue antheila there too.

It's a goni. Those are sweepers. The little flowers just grow out like that at ceeain times usually after a tank feeding. Big eater and big stinger. It needs space.

nice, Tom.
The little blue polyps are kept under control with low DOC's?
How many total aquariums in those pix..... and are they all tied together?
very nice.

very nice pictures. They don't do you system justice

Thanks Gary,

The blue polyps are a pain but they don't bother corals and generally loose competitions except for zoanthids which the y infiltrate some times. I woud not recommend them but they can be very pretty and tempting. Maybe nutrient levels hold them in check some but I still need to hit them with a toothbrush now and then. Oddly, they don't do very well in the leather dominant tank unskimed tank I run even though xenia and gorgonia thrive there and that tank has higher nutrients.

Those pictures are from a 90 gallon and a 120 ,two of 7 aquariums that are tied together.

The colors of your reef are incredible. IMHO, your photography could benefit from a tripod. Your pictures will become more crisp. You have a beautiful system!!!

Thanks; glad you like the colors. SPS can be wonderful that way.
Dug out the old tripod last night and will use it for the next round. I also re read the pdf manual for my camera from the link Blurry provided in an earlier thread. I'll get this photo thing sooer or later.

Amazing Tom, your tanks are always inspiring to look at. Hope mine grows in to look as half as good as yours or Garys....
