John's 75 Last picture

The one on the right.

 

Very nice John. Love the FTS.

This is all accomplished using 4 t5s hung 8" above water, correct? Fascinating that most of your SPS are around "midlevel" in the tank.

 

That is a formosa if it is the real large one.

Thanks, I think it is closer to 10" to 11".

 

It's getting the old established reef look to it John. Probably feels like a long coming at least it always did to me.

Congrats.

 

Thanks, you are right about it seeming like a long time coming. I am sure it I had bought large colonies it would have been easier but the learning process is priceless.

 

Everything is looking amazing as always! I've missed the last few updates.

 

Thank you, everything seems to be settling in now that the parameters are in line again. Hopefully there will be a little more coloring up in the next few weeks.

I have ordered some new bulbs, 2 ATI Coral Plus and 1 ATI Aquablue Special. I have a new ATI Blue Plus already. I am going to be trying out combinations to see which I like best. Right now I have 2 CP and 2 BP in place. I am going to test out what 4 CP looks like since ATI says they are stand alone bulbs. I will also see what 2CP, a BP and an AS look like. I will try to remember to post what the combos look like using the same camera setting.

 

Looking great as always.

Since your last update, I switched both bulbs to Coral Plus on my tank. You can check them out in my thread. Personally, I love it. Keep in mind, my rocks are coralline-free.

 

Thanks. I have ordered 2 Coral Plus bulbs and an Aquablue Special. I plan on seeing what light combo I like best. I have a new Blue Plus already. I am going to try all Coral Plus bulbs and 2 Coral Plus, 1 Blue Plus and 1 Aquablue Special. I will try the 3 bulbs at different positions to see if I like them.

 

I look forward to seeing what you think of the different combinations.
