Ever just wanted to jump inside your tank? (added video)

^^^ This.

Speaking for myself I would sure like to see more of this tank.

Was the comment about growth and color sarcasm? Looks like you have both so I am left confused.

 

Yes and no. For me color is most important. It is the end goal. Growth will be there in the end. What draws me to keep these corals is the beautiful colors that nature provides. Anything I can do to help display these colors is a must do on my list!

 

Greg your stuff always looks amazing. I sometimes daydream about shrinking myself to scuba in my tank, and then I remember what my fish do at feeding time, and realize nothing in the world would be more terrifying.

 

So ship it out to me on Friday? Does that work for you
;D

 

Sorry, but due to extreme heat in my area, the shipment will be delayed.

But here is another video. Basically a FTS to prove that there are fish too.

 

Where the heck did you put the fish in the first video?

 

So what do you think attributes to color more in the Coral, the Lighting or Feeding? I don't feed my Coral and not sure about my lighting either. I got good growth, but poor color.
Great looking tank.

 

I have no idea where they went. It looked like a ghost town in that first video!

 

There is a lot of room under that Efflo for fish, that is what makes the piece so cool. Great growth pattern.

 

IMO, water quality, flow and light (quality and PAR) are the most important for SPS. Water quality is the most important. I feel, feeding just allows a secondary energy source for the corals although they don't necessarily need it. If the coral can capture food as well as photosynthesis, it may expell more zooxanthellae since it needs less for photosynthesis.



Note: I am not a scientist and am not going to argue if my theory holds water. I'm just explaining why I do what I do.
