Acropora Garden in the Basement

Part 2.. Pictures of the 92 Gallon Corner Reef in my basement. This tank is running 2-250W MH with 20K Ushio Bulbs. It is really hard to take pictures through bowed glass..so if anyone has any tips on how to do this better, please share.

 

Looks great, you did a good job with the pics. For close ups you will want to aim dead on and practically touch the glass with the camera.

 

If you have a macro setting try using that as well.

 

Amazing......Your definitely doing something right.

 

Nice tank. Do you run a CA reactor? The tank being in the basement, does your pH run low?

What camera r u using? I was going to say try to get it up against the glass but these guy beat me to it.

 

In terms of specs for the tank..it is pretty much like my others. No Calcium reactor, no Proteins Skimmer, no additives. There is a refugium for filtration and a lot of light and water flow. I just have a regular maintenance routine and I keep the tanks understocked with fish. (This tank has a sohal tang, Purple Tang, and a Minitaus Grouper).

The camera I an using is a Nikon D300.

 

Sweet tank. How long did it take you to get this one looking this nice?

 

This tank is about 10 months old. I had to tear it down about 5 months ago because of an ich outbreak so I could catch all the fish and leave it fallow for 3 months. The coral seem to grow thicker and faster under higher flow rates. Some of these coral grew from frags but most were purchased as colonies already.

 

wow, no skimmer and your sps are growing that beautifully? amazing! thats a gorgeous tank! your def. doing LOTS right
