Claic's 30 Reef Revival: ~Growth Shots~ 1-3-2011

Thanks! If you could 2n10, check out my SPS thread in the Coral section. I had a few questions there and you know your stuff.

 

Posted a response there.

 

Liveaquaria Order Update

So, I had an experience yesterday from FedEx. Pretty much was supposed to get these coral/clam in BY 3:00 P.M. and they didn't arrive until around 6:00 P.M. I suppose it wasn't that big of a deal due to everything doing alright, just a huge color loss in my Birdnest.

So here are the pictures!

Full Tank Shots









Clown in BTA



Purple Montipora Cap.




ORA Frogskin Acropora




Unknown Green Acropora



ORA Tri-color Valida Staghorn



Purple/Pink Montipora Digitata





Green Birdnest



ORA Derasa Clam



And here is my next project! Adding a fuge to the side of my tank! My stand is too small to fit this tank/sump under it so I am just going to add this to the whole system as a fuge! Right now it is cleaning with water/bleach.

 

The tank and it's inhabitants look really nice !

The GBTA looks great. Is that a small maxima clam next to the derasa ?

All and all it looks like everything turned out well, except for the browned birds nest. The digitata is my favorite piece, but the stagehorn acro and your unknown green are a close second.

 

Yeah that is a little maxima clam. Got it about two weeks ago!

I love the ORA Tri-color staghorn, I look at it everyday and sing to it so it'll grow faster! lol

 

Tank looks great, congrats on the new adds and way to go on adding a fuge.

 

Thanks 2n10.

My Frogskin Acro is starting to show to smallest of polyps but on in certain places. Is this a good or bad sign? I heard that once the acropora is in place look for PE if there isn't any after a day move it and try again.

 

That is a good sign. Some take several days to a couple of weeks before showing PE. I would leave it for a few weeks before deciding to move it.

 

Alright thanks. How far down am I safe in my tank to move SPS? I have the T-5 HO TEK light fixture with 4 bulbs.

 

Beautiful frags! I look forward to seeing your tank filled up. Your tank seems really blue and deep sea. Awesome!
