Dr Frag's T5 lit 180

Well I am about two weeks late on the monthly update so I will try to post some of then new pieces I have been getting as well as the grow out of the existing pieces..... First I will start with the German Blue polyped monti... if you all remember it was REALLY starting to grow nicely, BUT I decided to add a couple pieces of Pohnpei liverock to the tank and as much as I tried NOT to break the monti the MORE I broke it. I now have it in a few places....

Here is the original stalk...


Here is a piece...

And another...

 

Here is a pic of my purple monti, the montipora neospongodes, well both of them... and a blue stag that is kind of visable....

Here is the valida, a couple stags-the turquoise is REALLY coloring up and taking off, and a mystery pink acro that was brown in my buddies tank..

Here is the green slimer, blue millie and a new blue slimer...

 

Here is a pic of another mystery acro-the one on the bottom right-it has grown from a 1" straight piece to one that is totally branched out in a little over 6 months. This pic also show a small green millie in bottom of pic, a new blue millie and the whole reason I got stuck in traffic and spent an hour and forty minutes to go somewhere that takes 40... the TABLING green millie, its in the top center. It is the only millie I have that doesn't retract its polyps during the day, plus I LOVE tabling corals, and the mother piece looked great!

Here is a blue tortuosa, blue millie, purple fuzz and green millie again

Here is my purple monti cap and pinkbirdnest...

 

Here is the green bird that is getting big and bushy..

The pair of true perculas playing in the frogspawn

And the whole tank shot, and when I figure it out I will post the PAR values on it...


I will try to get more close ups and less combo shots today...

Thanks for viewing!!

 

and just to think doc

it's all done with T5!!!

 

Yep...Proving that it CAN be done!

Thanks for viewing!

 

AMAZING!! Thanks for sharing

 

Neat... giving me ideas... thanks!!! Great pics.

What are "stag", "millie" and "slimer" called? At least at online shops, I'm not finding anything with those names and I can't seem to figure out what these might be short for.

 

Lookin good Frag! I'm getting a blue Mille soon. Can't wait!

 

Stag is staghorn-could be either Acropora formosa, A.nobilis, or A.youngei
millie is milliepora or Acropora millepora, and the slimer I BELIEVE is a A.formosa, just ask or look for a green slimer, anyone that has SPS experience will know what you are talking about, they are really slimey hence the name, one of the few acros that are really slimey to the touch.

Thanks for the compliments!
