ZOO close ups!

[melev]

Just kidding around here...

Andrew, I could take all of your images and paste them on jjackson's picture and still not fill it up completely.

Nice shots, everyone! :thumbsup:

A few "Armageddons"

!

i love those! i had some armageddons but now i only have 1 polyp of them due to the salinity in my tank getting too high. but yeah, armageddons are so much better than PPE or RPES or any other palythoas

Here are my sunflower zoo's. I call them sunflowers for obvious reasons! Hopefully its a name no one else has come up with yet!

 

[melev]

That last image is of a very rare large-polyped palythoa. It appears to grow on land, but is ocean-based typically.

LOL

Yes indeed. It is very rare, or as I believe they call it a "Limited Edition" coral!

Not a close up, but then again I had to shoot straight down through 30" of water.

Those are the sweetest zoos ever!

 

[melev]

Thanks. Shooting from above with a 20,000K XM over your shoulder can make a zooanthid colony really pop out at you.

 

[Andrew]

Do you just use 20k in your reef? Im going to be ordering a 175 mh until for x-mas for my 20 reef and can't deside on a 20k or 15k bulb.

 

[melev]

Andrew, my reef is 280g, and 6' long. So here is my lighting configuration.

250w 10,000K Ushio - 400w 20,000K XM - 250w 10,000K AB
plus 320w of VHO actinics (two 6' bulbs).

These zoos are at the base of the tank under the center MH, which is a 20,000K bulb.

 

[LeftCoast]

Andrew, I'd go for 20K bulbs. In testing, 15K bulbs have had the lowest PAR rating of any bulbs for aquariums.

 

[Andrew]

Im just worried about 20k being too blue. Anyone have a picture of a tank under just 20ks?
