barbianj's stuff Time for a new reef tank

Looking awesome.

 

I'm always amazed at your tank.

 

I'm trying to get better pictures, but the larger tank is proving to be a challenge, even with the underwater camera. For most of these I used a small tripod in the tank to keep the camera stable.

 

Your tank loves the reds and greens. A lot of new growth on the sps. Do you have any micromussa?

 

No Micromussa since the amphipods ate the last small colony I had. Haven't run across any that I'd like to have since then. Concentrating more on SPS now, but keep finding juicy LPS that I need to have.

I'm having trouble getting good shots of the SPS in high light. Colors aren't right. l'll have try a different exposure net time.

 

I would not have been able to pass up the Acans in the last image, center stage. You can tell the RP is definitely getting the lighting it needs, I see no green base. Love the green polyps of the Tri-color or GARP? What is the acropora with the green base that looks like it has blue tips, looks like you have a couple colonies of it?

 

The purple and green is Purple Unknown. Recently moved it to lower light and the color is really coming out. I was never able to find the GARF. The RP is a coral that I use to judge light intensity to help place other corals. It does have a slight green base but doesn't show in the photos.

The color of those Acans came out under the Radions. They were just some no namers. Very happy with that.

I'm not sure which green based acro you are referring to.

 

Image right before the Candy canes. It has a lot of new growth on it. Looks kind of like a Pearl Berry. Not the really green smaller acropora that looks like a Slimer.

 

If it's to the left of the green one, that one doesn't have a name. I got that from a guy who had an awesome SPS collection and had to move. The tips are actually pink with tiny blue polyps. That's all very recent growth. Not sure if it's growing sideways from flow or light. Fifth pic down is the same coral. Fourth down is a Pearlberry under blue-ish light. Just added a week ago.

The one above the green coral, not sure what that one is. I had a bunch of tiny SPS pieces in the frag tank for a long time that didn't grow much because the light wasn't strong enough. I replaced it with a better LED, and they started growing out. All of them have been nice surprises. That blue tipped green Stag and what I think is an Echinata are two others.

 

Got my third Radion Pro for an early Christmas present. Tank seems really big to me now that it's evenly lit. Finally.
