~|~ Night-rida's Mixed SPS,LPS, & Softies 55g reef tank ~|~

Looking real good...keep up the great job..3reef has helped many of us also in the transformation of our tanks..

 

update 3-20-2010

added new PC 454 bulbs, new corals, more live rock on top of pile, mangroves/chaeto in sump and better quality water quality and pics.;D
























so what ya think of the lastest pics.. its a work in progress.. eventually want 1 clam, 1 tang (either a kole,blue or yellow), more sps frags and maybe a brain coral (miss my old one.) and upgrade my two t5 bulbs to ati blue plus's to blue up my daylights..

 

Oh man pleeeeaaaaaaase send me a frag of that gorg! My eye went straight to it. JJ about the send part but seriously if you ever frag it and will ship hit me up.;D

I like your scape and layout man. Excellent job imo!

 

thanks, I'll keep ya in mine when the gorg is ready to cut.. its really nice at night when all its polyps are out..

 

Looks real nice! Great job with it!

 

More pics..

 

thanks, hopefully I can cram another 20 corals in there in the next couple months.

I'm definitly happy with my progress with water quality, live stock, etc..

 

looking good Night - Rida

some great surface movement you got going there IMO
How many corals do you have in total now
and whats your favourite in there?

Steve

 

thanks steve, finally got some pictures up in my profile albums. yeah with 60x water flow its a struggle finding low flow spots for LPS corals..I usally will put a big LR piece in front of water currents path adjecent to corals to block direct high flow.. it helps, with full polyp extension.. Id say probly around 30 types of frags in there.

my favorite coral is usally the next one I see at the LFS and pay cash for.. lol
I do like GSP alot when swaying in the current and the green pocillipora..

The 2 I liked the most but arent around any more were my open green brain coral, and my german blue stag frag.. lost alot (about 10) of sps frags early on because of lack of knowledge (3reef), poor lighting, to much direct flow, RTN, high nitrates and high alk/DKH.. now and only now, my tank is mature enough and ready for more sps corals and 1 clam. ;D

 

new video, its a little shaky.. 8)





Also just noticed that this video post is my 3reef post #1000 !!! how cools that..
