Dr Frag's T5 lit 180

Can't see the pink birdsnest?
(never mind...)

 

Here is the green birdsnest. It also has been growing nicely, but I prefer its color under the dawn/dusk as compared to all the lights, but for that matter all the corals look better in person as I have no clue how to tweek a camera to get "good" pictures.


This is the assorted acro I've been trying to ID, it has been doing great but still hasn't colored up either after the T5 shock! Still grows nice though. Behind it is another small pink birdsnest.


Heres orange monti cap land... They USED to be a deep, dark orange but the T5s turned them like a light pink/orange. I wish they would get that color back but I think I will have to move them lower in the tank for that to happen.
They are all approximately 2" in diameter or so.

 

Lookin good, thanks for the pics! Heck I'm exausted after reading about all the moves! I'm not looking forward to moving my tank...

 

Its weird how those montis in the last pic kind of look brown in person they are almost a neon peach, its an odd color.

Heres just a simple pic of some of the fish and some of the LPS...


Here is the neon green monti cap that is starting to show an interesting growth form... Nice color though.


I am waiting to add any more corals until I get my new skimmer. Unfortunately I have only 24.75" of room to fit a skimmer so most of my choices were out of the picture. I wanted a ASM G4X, but thats 30", so I looked into the G4, well thats 24" but I would need about an inch to take off the cup and I don't feel like having such a tight squeeze. So I settled on the Coralvue, Octopus Extreme. It looks like a decent skimmer so will see.
After I get that I am going to lean on my buddy Bill from midwestsaltwater.com to help me fill in with some more SPS.
His site isn't the best as he has no time to work on it but he has some of the if not the best acans and micros around. The SPS I will most likely pull from his DT.

Once I get the skimmer I will post some more pics and start adding!
Until next installment,
Thanks for viewing!!

 

You just forgot the [ before IMG on the link.

Tank looks great, thanks for posting.

 

Thanks (sc)otty! Remember has only been running as is since 11/13/08 so its only like 2 months old.
I am looking forward to watching it really progress and see where it goes. I am also itching to put more SPS in there but all in good time!

Thanks for viewing!

 

I love birds nests! I have a pink one, too. Adding a fiji bulb has really brought out its colors. That gren birdsnest is SWEEEET! I'm gonna have to get one now! NOW NOW! Hmm just got my girl some diamond earrings for V-day... maybe she get me the nest!!! muhahahaha!

 

I got my new skimmer tonight, I am going to take a few pics in the am and post them. It looks nice but I can tell there already some things I would change about it.
I also left my new frags at work a buddy brought me, a green slimer, red tabling acro, tenius, and turqouise stag, I know I am forgetting one!
I will post some pics of the skimmer tomorrow and when I get those SPS in I will post them.

Until next time!
Thanks for viewing!
