Thanks, that granulosa colony is about mid-tank in a reasonably high flow area situated right between a 250 watt MH bulb & T5's - it seems to like it.

Why are you canadians so good with SPS corals?

Amazing health and colour in these corals.

I suppose you must be using either Radium or Phoenix MH's?

Keep the super eye candy coming. Makes for a nice treat in the evenings to sit back and scroll through threads like these. Keeps the rest of us on our toes as we sit there dreaming about having such colour in our SPS.

PS Its nice to see another 10 year+ member still active on the forum.

I love top down shots. Great pictures.

Mike de Leon · 01/27/2014, 05:35 PM

Tank specs please! Corals are super nice..

Froggy · 01/27/2014, 06:24 PM

Great corals as usual. You definitely have a green thumb for corals and always have. Nice photo's as well

chessmanmark · 01/27/2014, 06:58 PM

Very nice.

How big is your tank? You have a lot of corals in there.

Any chance of giving us the FTS?

maikoa02 · 01/28/2014, 03:30 AM

Gorgeous. Yes, can we see a fts. Thanks.

Thanks for the kind words. My lighting is mainly a mix of Pheonix 250's MH HQI across the front & T5's across the back. I like the look it gives and with the MH in the front there is still a noticable shimmer in the water. I am still going strong in the hobby and actually just did a complete make over of my reef. Completely drained the display, fixed a plumbing headache, and restarted with mostly new rock, sand, etc.

Thanks.
This display was orginally set up in late 2008 and just revamped over Nov/Dec 2013 so things are still settling in.
Display Tank is 96" wide x 36" deep x 27" high = 404 gal
There is also 130 gal tank in the fish room plumbed to a common 120 gal sump making about 600 gallon in the system. Frag/prop tanks are on a seperate system for QT purposes, etc.

Thanks, tank is about 400 gal. I will see what I can do for a FTS in the near future. I am out of town as I write this.
