Not the coolest, but definitely my proud piece. Kinda hard to find and harder to see it color up like this!
Rr Pretty in Pink
I love the polyps!
Coming back after fully trimmed last month.
I got lazy and this guy completely shade out my rr biohazard. Half of the biohazard colony gone. [emoji28]
A pic for you before I trim you to the base! [emoji35]
Rr Blue Planet. I don't see this acro often. [emoji848]
This definitely NOT the gaft bonsai! Growing back so slow since the last trim (to the base). But I like the shape, and the branches grow so thick, bushy, and...blue! Super blue.
After sitting in my tank for 2 years, this start coloring up nicely. No named. I am not thinking about any name for this bad boy yet.
This too no named. I have it more than 2 years. No grow! [emoji52]
But when it grow, will be a bad-butt acro no doubt! [emoji848]
Sexy coral Orange Passion
Sunset Mili. Who said $15 frag can't stand out in the crowd ?![emoji15]
This mili is in front and middle of my tank. Eyes catcher! [emoji39]
Strawberry shortcake. He grow in the middle of my op, joe rainbow and Bc battle juice. So not even a small chance to become a colony ! I trim it to the base every month! [emoji28]
One of the hardest acro to color up to me! Vivid rainbow delight! Touch it and it brown! [emoji28]
The base is still brown actually.
Bc Therman rainbow. I recently tried to cut the whole colony down to save space for the rr Pink Floyd. But no luck at all. The colony is sooo thick. So he stays.
Vivid fire garden. Ppl say it and the red planet are same acro. I never own a red planet, but compare to online pictures, I think this acro is more worth keeping than the red planet.

Another no named.

Thank you. In case you haven't check it out yet, I am working on a new tank project. Search for the "100 gallons acros tank".

My camera is Nikon D3200 with the stock lens. (18~55mm I think).

wow.... very beautiful... what is your secret to keeping fantastic colors? what products do you use to get these results? what are your no3 and po4 values? do you use sodium nitrate?Not the coolest, but definitely my proud piece. Kinda hard to find and harder to see it color up like this!

I just read this entire thread from start to finish. It is very helpful, inspiring and THANK YOU! I am at that stage where you were in your first year with some browning out acros checking my values daily and dosing the red sea system yada, yada yada. Trying to figure out how i can setup a functional fuge on a JBJ 45 and cut out NoPox and GFO. I looked at the pax belum algea reactor nano 18 today, but cleaning it looks like a pain. Anyway this is inspiring and informative. I hope i can turn the page to my acros growing and coloring up like yours and like my lps. Please keep posting. Mark

Sorry for no update on this tank and the 100 gallons systems. I am way too busy lately. With work, school, and a baby boy coming next January.
I don't even have time enjoy the tank! But my system knows me well, it's doing good despite being neglected.
Corals start touching each other and the branches become too thick to trim. It's almost like their base touching.

What a problem to have!
Looks great as always.
It's fun at first, but quickly become real trouble when they decide to kill each other. I start taking colonies out and replace them by frags.
Pictures update soon.
Thanks. I test for par a while ago, most of the middle and top acros have 500~600 par. The rest around 200~300par.
I don't test for nitrate or phosphate in this tank.
I only test for alk one a week, cal and mag one a month.

Something weird happed to my Walt Disney. It turns to...yellow.
The color is actually glowing, way better than its natural color. But I suspect it more bad than good.[emoji848]
Everything stay normal, except for the Mag go up to 1600.

Put epoxy helps a bit, but not in the long term.
Sometimes they live peace together. Like these two
