    Hey guys. Took some pictures of the new additions. Unfortunately none of them do the frags justice. I added quite alot, but with how heavy I am skimming and using a large fuge no detectable nitrates, nitrites, or ammonia. I am dosing BRS two part to keep my levels stable. Its going very well thus far and many of the frags are showing growth under the LEDs.

    This section is getting full!

    Purple people eater favia, discolored green damicornis, branching montipora, green slimer acro, luigi's poison mushroom favia, and a frag that I cannot remember the name of. Haha.

    Awesome sharptipped purple birdsnest I picked up, as well as a small acan frag, some millepora frags, multiple zoa frags, a pink encrusting monti, and a few others.

    Crappy picture of a nice ORA green birdsnest. Incredible coral under LEDs.

    A duncan and an unidentified favites. Its changing colors and morphing green which is awesome.

    Cant see it very well but this candy cane is morphing and developing teal stripes as well as growing like a weed. Very excited to see what this turns into.

    Sweet orange monti cap. Looks great under the LEDs.

    I now have over 60 different species in this tank. Almost all frags have shown some growth and improvement in color since I got them. Many are very small but I am excited to grow them out. Thanks for following guys! Hopefully that will suffice for pictures! I want to get some high quality shots soon and when I do Ill be sure to share.

    Great looking frag tank :thumb_up: keep an eye on the blenny though, some will keep pecking algae off of the clams mantle and not all will tolerate that. Some will close up and die from lack of light.

    I have been told the same thing before, but he hasnt touched the clams mantle yet. There really isnt any visible algae in the tank, but I think thats mostly because of the blenny and my CUC from reefcleaners. Im not totally sure but I think the blenny is accepting formula 2 flakes as well. I havent seen him eat them yet, but I never see any floating around after I feed and he is pretty chubby still. If its an issue he would get moved out though. Thanks for the heads up!

    My good friend and fellow 3reef member JossMalo came by the other day and took some pictures to test out his new camera. Its a Nikon point and shoot but it is a bit better than my camera. Here are some random shots he took.

    The color of the tank turned out pretty screwy. But I figured Id post anyway. Thanks for looking.

    Looks like you have a lot of blue light lol. Pics look good either way. Looks like you are getting quite a few frags in there. :)

    Why yes I am Sticksmith! Not enough though. I have been craving more montipora. I will be adding more frags in the couple weeks. Probably all a decent amount bigger. I have been experiencing pretty good growth though. Im happy with the progress. Soon I will light the next section of the tank with a dimmable RapidLED kit. Very excited about that.

    Even though blue, the shots actually came out pretty good. I can't wait to see how this build continues. :)
