30 gallon build

Thanks! It was my first paint job, I'm glad people like it.

It's actually a reddish color, but it definitely has gotten greener with the LEDs. Its been encrusting like crazy.

I'll be posting pics of the new additions whenever I can get to it, one more week till I have a lot of free time

 

Got the corals!!! All sps

1 purple tip
1 bonsai
1 green slimer
1 big hollywood stunner
1 green tabling acro (I'm super excited about this one)

I'm about to explode with excitement on this buy... It was 30$ and all of these corals are going to be absolutely beautiful IMO. Im still in disbelief, I thought I was going to get like 2 corals or so, not 5, let alone 5 decently sized frags. Most were under halides and the chalice was under t5s. I'll be putting them all at the Sandbed tonight. I don't know where I'm going to put them lol. I can't wait to see the colors under my LEDs, I'm about to pee my pants in excitement or something lol. It's pretty ridiculous that I'm 15 and I'm just about as excited as a normal teenager who just found out he got a car. I think I've expressed how I feel pretty well now... Pics soon, probably next monday because I'll be gone for the weekend.

 

Btw, I know the chalice is an lps lol, forgot about that one when I said all sps.

 

Everything has been placed where I want it, the lights are at a lower setting and they were originally under halides, so they'll be fine.

The bonsai looks great but it's brownish, not purple (the tips are purple) I think it will color up eventually.

The slimer is my favorite, it's polyps are crazy and it is sooooo green.

Chalice is pretty, it will be staying on the bottom so it doesn't sting anything, not much room in my tank lol.

Tabling acro is cool, a little brown, but it will green up I'm sure.

The purple tip doesn't have much polyp extension, which makes me think more flow.. Well see in a day or two.

Fish are very healthy, I'm pretty satisfied with the tank now, the Midas blenny and canopy will be finishing touches

 

pics are here!!!

 

Just bought an ato, it's going to be a lot easier to take care of the tank with it. Just water changes and feeding now

 

Found out my tabling acro is a solitaryensis... Very pretty and can't wait for it to get a little more color. I moved the bonsai up a lot because I heard they like as much light as possible. And I'm only running at 25% right now B)

The other corals are great also, the purple tip has neon green polyps on the base, hopefully I'll get some on the tops too.

My ato came in. I attached it to where I wanted it. It looks like it will work well. Just need the aqualifter to come in tomorrow. Then I'll have my ato all ready! The corals all look amazing. The tabling soli looks a lot greener and has some nice lookin polyps.
