    Got myself an underwater camera casing for my digicam. It's my first time to take pictures of my livestocks this close. :D

    Can anyone help my ID these SPS?

    Your tank is outstanding. I noticed you had 3 clownfish hosting the same carpet. Do you see any aggression having 3?

    Thank you Blue Falcon!

    So far no, I haven't seen any aggression. Though every once in a while, the true percula clownfish will move from the host carpet anemone and stay in the green flowerpot, but it normally moves back in with the 2 false perculas after a few minutes. :)

    thank you for replying. did your introduce all 3 at the same time and how old are they, how long have they been together, and do you know the sex (are two paired up?) Sorry for all the questions, Was just curious because Im looking into an upgrade in which I would like to combine my two tanks into one large one and I have one O. Clown in one and a pair in another.

    no i did not put them all together at the same time. the 2 false perculas came first then added the true percula about a month after, i think. they have been together since feb of this year, if i remember correctly.

    i think if the tank is big enough then you shouldn't worry that they might fight. that's just based on my experience though.

    #2 through #5 are Acroporas don't know what species
    #6 is a chalice possibly a Mycedium species

    Just an update:

    I'm thinking of adding 4 more T5 HO bulbs to my tank's lighting. Each will be 54 watts. 2 bulbs at the front side of the tank, 2 at the back side.

    I have an old T5HO lighting fixture in my fowlr, and to test it out, I temporarily placed it in my reef tank.

    It certainly brightened up the whole tank. I could see every algae and dirt on the glass lol

    But my question is, will it help with coral growth? Both SPS and LPS? Or will just be additional lighting for actinics?

    Here are some pictures:
