Tank Progression

[mpcart]

My tank just turned 15 months old and I thought I'd share a few pictures. Its a 58RR Oceanic with 6x39W T5's, SEIO pumps, Euroreef skimmer, 20L sump, TBS rock/sand, and a custom stand/hood.

As you can see, I have mostly SPS and they grow well under the T5's.

Livestock are a pajama cardinal, firefish, a two spot hogfish, a fire shrimp, three serpent stars, two tiger tail cukes, and miscellaneous snails. I had a bunch of blue legged hermits but lost them in my red bug battle.

I hope you enjoy.

Thanks for the kind words. The only thing I can think of that has sparked nice growth the past 5 months is that I started dosing kalkwasser regularly. I had been dosing a two-part, but I think the kalk has kept Ca/Alk at a consistent level.

Here are a couple pics of the corals.

Pagoda Cup from Live Aquaria

Monti cap I got from Kentrob as a 2" frag

A Miami Orchid Stag(?) from Live Aquaria. This looks better in person with purple tips. Also my Green Slimer and Blue Porites (from Mark)

Side shot including my purple tip frogspawn that has grown from 4 heads to about 16. II'm not sure how everything will all fit once they grow out - I guess I'll have to do some serious fragging or get a bigger tank!

Some zoa's

Thanks,
