A few more for this morning
I have three ice fire echinatas and all three came from different vendors/sources and not surprisingly all three look different I only have pics of two today and I think these are the pretenders (morphs). they have been incredibly slow growing for me. I will eventually get a pic of what I believe is the real deal and of course it is growing the fastest, I just happened to glue it down in a hard to reach spot to photo. This is ff red robin stag. Unfortunately it is glued under the red convexa and is horribly shaded and I do not think there is a viable solution to the shading problem this is just so pretty, favias can be awesome except for their stingers |

Hey thanks for noticing my pictures and corals.
I do not use any additives. I have a calcium reactor for alk and calcium. Well, I do add mag occasionally. No specific coral additives. I feed my fish pellets and flakes and in turn they feed my coral all the fish poo they can absorb. Again, I appreciate you noticing my reef tank |

That Planet Earth looks stunning. I wished I picked up a frag when it was first introduced. Either way, you have an excellent collection.

Got a new light fixture for me (its used but gently) So I now have a gesimann fixture with 3 x 250 radium 20ks and four t5's. I have not posted pics in a while so I took a few this morning with only the T5s on so pictures may look a little blue. I color corrected in photoshop elements to 20k but without the metal halides on, these pictures are on the blue side. Promise this is an exception, its too early in the morning to turn on the metal halides.

I just updated my lighting and I am doing some redecorating and rearranging of sps colonies. Now that I have started, I do not recommend it to anyone. All those filled up spaces, and now a bunch of young frags. I trimmed out a handful of colonies to hopefully have them replaced with prettier ones, atleast that is what I hope. Another couple of years and it should look perfect!!
So, tonite I took a bunch of lps pictures. I have a lot of lps for an sps dominant tank. These are not all my lps but to follow are 28 different colonies. I like watermelon chalices and mummy eyes so there are a bunch of different variants, but each picture to follow is of a different and unique colony. |
