Norg's 30 gallon reef (New stuff pg.7)

Norg,

a few things:

-remember seeing my green pocilllapora? The pic doesn't look like a birdsnest. Your pic looks just the same! Maybe 'cause it's a pic.

You'll have to come back my, get that intake for that Aquaflow I gave you, and see what else I've done lately.

 

Looking good Nick. Glad to see it making a comeback.

 

everything is looking good

 

I have a few updates for this tank. I recently started a light vodka dosing routine with the addition of my Reefoctupus BH-100 skimmer. Hopefully this makes a difference in the algae that has been plaguing my tank. The only real reason I can think of is my RO-DI water. Unfortunately I fall on well water, and our tap water is above 600 TDS. This destroys my DI membranes. I am in the process of sorting out this problem but it wont be an easy one to tackle. Anyway, the tank has some algae but its nothing insane right now.



McCosker's flasher wrasse and maxima clam.





Frogspawn.



Green birdsnest grows very well for me.





Newly added yellow tail damsel.



Still unsure of what species of acro this is but its color is developing and is one of my favorites.



Acan.



Tan-ish tabling acro. I put a small frag of this in this tank a couple months ago and it started to develop green polyps. Hopefully this mini colony does the same.





Montipora Spongodes growing well for me.

Thanks for looking!

 

I really enjoy the new Wrasse!

I also really like the first pics, nice clam & Wrasse.

 

Great images! What kind of lens do you use for aquarium photos?

 

Thanks Chris! I really like that little guy. Surprisingly he does not seem to get scared easily. He never darts around the tank even when I moving around or messing around inside the tank. Im really not worried that he will jump. But either way a clear screen cover will be added soon.

Thanks Exactly! I used my 18-55 Nikkor VR lens for these shots. I had my ISO set at 500. Soon I will have a macro at my disposal so Ill be making use of that too. There will be lots more pictures to come. lol

 

How could I have missed this build??

I'm loving the spongodes, crazy polyps on those things. Thats a great picture with the clam and wrasse.

 

You probably missed it because there hasnt been much going on. Ive had problem after problem between my RO unit, my skimmer almost killing my frag tank, my auto doser not working, pests, and being unemployed for a month. I havent been able to do much of anything for my tanks as of late but thats starting to turn around now. Thanks for the compliment. I really like that picture too. ;D

 

That wrasse/clam shot is really sweet!
