Steve Wright's SPS takeover

Steve how do you get your coral??? curious to see a LFS in China

 

you will have a field day with coral growth and colour under the MH Robman

I visit an aquarium market, which has over 100 LFS all within 20 mins radius walk of the car park
there are probably 20 or so outlets that specialise in salt water
and of these 20 , only 3 ever have SPS on frag plugs (which are all Im going to buy for future, simply because I feel it increases my chance of success with SPS)
if you want to see LFS - China style

here is what some of them look like

awesome steve! nice looking frags you got there

 

So .... are you solely sps not considering your hammer?

 

thanks Dingo

I have 2 shroom rocks, 2 x GSP islands and 4 zoanthid rocks
but a couple of the zoanthids covered rocks are above the half way line so SPS territory under my T5s I reckon
so a couple of new additions for the 60 from this tank and a couple more SPS frags in the near future

Steve

 

Happy for you Steve, the look great.... about time to post another pic of your tank!!!

 

thanks Pelado



heres one from yesterday - my yellow acro, red monti and Acropora (IDK?)



and this one shows the grape scrolling monti which is in my avatar

interesting thing I have noticed
the red monti cap shows very uniform growth, with a 5- 8 mm lighter area all around the perimeter
wheras the grape scrolling version grows erratically, with new peaks and ridges over the top edge



and my fur coated twinky - this little dude opened polyps on day I put it in and they stay out 24/7 - then one day it closed , and when it closed it does a very good impression of being dead! its green due to the polyps, the body is cream coloured hence I mistook closed polyps for bleaching.


Steve

 

Absolutely love your collection of frags and corals.... I wish I was that far along but again always emphasising to take your time...
Happy for you Steve ;d

 

Are you using a tripod wham taking pics Steve? If not it
may be time to invest in one.

 

Hey this is a cool coral! I cant say that i can ID it though... do you know the real name lol
