Hey guys, just wanted to share with you guys as well as keep a photo update of my SPS.

I'll show you full tank shots as soon as I take some tonight. The second coral, I have no idea what it is but I love it! LOL, which one is the Atlantis?

Heres another crap load of photos... this is still old, took new photos today.

Jedi Mind Trick suffered from an alkalinity spike, it's recovering in my frag tank.

These died when I had the chloramines incident. :mmph:

Red Planet that wasn't so red, I blame it on the chloramines.

Setosa, hanging on for dear life but doesn't look like it will make it.

Hey bro, you have nice corals and the photography is great! Nice to see this thread.

Unfortunately, I have to point out (you may even know already...) but in this pics I can see lots of Redbugs:

ReeferEric · Feb 19, 2014

Yup, I know I have red bugs. I've treated them before with interceptor and will again later but for now they don't bother the corals. Colors are good enough for me and I see polyp extension.

Nice sold growth!
(sorry about the red bugs hope you over come them)

Jimbo662 · Feb 19, 2014

Sahin, how can you tell there are red bugs? I don't see anything. I've never seen any in person so don't know what to look for.

I've circled a few for you and put arrows on them. Sorry for the ghetto MS Paint. I didn't feel like waiting for PS to open. There are tons more on that acro - they are the little reddish brown dots. They are a far, far friendlier pest than AEFW and way easier to deal with.

Nice pics Eric. I didn't know you were such a good photographer.

I used to do it on a professional level but like anything in freelance, the money wasn't steady enough. I still get bookings and take them when I have time.

Like I've said, the red bugs don't bother the corals. I know of others with big colonies and they are fine with them as well. I'll have more photos uploaded tomorrow.
