SPS pics from my tank

[markalot]

It's 156 gal. and is 60x24x24/25. I'm now running 3 x MP40s on the tank, which is one more than I had before. No concerned about it as I can just keep adding as I see it's needed.

What I am concerned about is just managing the colonies growing into each other and the shading that is going on. I'm considering switching to T5's to help with that...

Thanks for the info. Any time you want to post more pics, feel free.

Simply awesome!
How do you manage keeping your Gonioporas happy in a (high flow I assume) SPS tank?

I try to find slightly slower flow areas on the bottom. Most of them I've from frags and 18 mos. plus.

Very impressive, Peter.

What do you run in your sump?.
What levels do you keep your phos/ nitrate at?.
What's your alk?

Thanks
Mo

Just a 350a skimmer and a BRS reactor where I run GFO and GAC from time to time.

Nitrate is undetectable except when I dose potassium nitrate every now and then to bump them up to 2ppm.

Alk is 7-8 dKH typically.

Can you talk a little more about this please thanks

These photos are awesome. Not only because they're beautiful, but also because I finally get to see what some of these truly look like as they grow out from frags. Gorgeous and inspiring!
