Steve Wright's SPS takeover

thank you

Appreciated

Yes- couldnt get a decent photo except of scratches 6 months ago

Its is, it was bleached when I got it, but the flesh covered all the skeleton, so I figured it had a fighting chance.

Thank you Inwall75

They are a really nice coral Powerman. but it may be the next victim of my increased flow

Thank you

Thanks Tatted , yes it was one of two in a tank full of normal colouration torches, I have since seen some yellow coloured ones

thanks Missionsix

thank you Av8Bluewater

iLLwiLL

the guts are a MCE 600 Deltec and internal cannister filters, with Carbon, GFO and Purigen - no sump, only water leaving my tank goes into the chiller

Thank you Wu Wu

 

Nice SPS Steve, looking really good! :thumb_up:

 

Great looking tank steve.

 

thank you invertphil and Siddique

additions and changes

new fish, Radiant wrasse - settled in and fed within 1 minute of leaving the bag, I always feed my fish at the time of new introductions as I find the distraction that offers the old fish, gives the new guy a chance to get its bearings
not required in this case, as it went straight to where the other fish where chasing pellets around




new coral
Blue Zoanthid colony- got 2 of these, and this is the better one, took 3 or 4 days to settle, but they are opening up nicely now.



Moved the scrolling monti again- to a more vertical rather than horizontal position and closer to the wave maker , I was not happy with the flow it was receiving in previous location. Im also happy as I can see the growth clearly now, represented by the lighter pink area around the outer edges



and finally - one of my zoanthid colonies is on a piece of live rock, thats more alive than I realised at purchase , my 1st clam? is a hitchhiker

 

Looking awesome....

 

Hey Steve - I had the same thing happen to me with the clam in the live rock. Thought it was just a "bump" on the rock and then after a couple of months it started to open and close. When I re-aquascaped we made sure to put it in the front as everyone loves to come see "rockefelller"!!

 

Really nice tank. That warsse is stunning!

 

so happy to see you got a little reef of yours, all that knowledge you have is going to and already has made this beautiful reef into what it is now. Looks amazing, great job.

 

He's gorgeous. Radiants are probably my favorite fish. Awsome tank!

 

heh clamzoa pretty cool ! hey steve what do you do when moving your monti ? im trying to find a way to anchor mine
