Brew's 187g slice of the ocean

[Brew12]

Good to hear! Your aquarium is amazing fun to follow and see. I think more videos are needed, now that I think about it.

No excuses there. I keep meaning to play around with it more since I have a GoPro but the coloring always seems off so I get frustrated. I did load some new editing software to try and improve things so maybe I'll try again soon.

Most of my corals are from Adam. I look at my tank and even though many of the acros are a good 6" to 10" in diameter with 25+ branches I just don't look at my tank and feel like it is full of colonies.

I think my main issue is the lack of height over the rock. Only my 2 purple stags have done well, the rest grow very slow. That likely leads to my feeling the tank hasn't grown in.

Looking at ur photos on this page I would say ur close couple are what I would call mini but a majority I would call colonies pretty soon u will be trimming every weekend

This is why I don't do more videos.

Hard to believe this system is less than 2 years Brew... what a success. And I like the video, stop being so self-critical! The more u make the better they will get! Nice lookin colonies too

Brew, I'm curious, when you placed your sps frags originally do you place them based off par or flow or just where they looked best to you or with no rhyme or reason at all?

Trust me, I'm very pleased. I only wish the video's could capture what I see in person better.

It was a combination of PAR, flow, and color/growth pattern. It hasn't worked out exactly how I've wanted and I've had to do some moving around. I assumed some corals would prefer higher light that never did well until I moved them down. Still trying to figure out why most of my stags are stagnant. Not sure if it is a flow/par issue or not.

If you have GoPro protune turned on in the software, turn it off. It does great at 15 ft under natural sunlight, ie scuba diving in the Bahamas, but it sucks with artificial lights at higher blues.

Your tank looks awesome for 2 years old man, congrats. Looking at it I can just see all the hard work

A question, if I may? How big where the monti caps when you got them abd how long have you had them? The growth is amazing

Good to know! I haven't played around with the GoPro much but I need to start.

The monti's all started as 1" frags. This is the orange monti, same location in January of 2018.

Since then I've fragged off at least a dinner plates worth and put a piece in the back of the tank that has gotten very large. This thing is a weed.

All of the monti's were added within a month or two of each other. The light green one is growing very well but not crazy like the orange one.

Hmmm....

Great tank and video. Can’t believe the tank is only 2 years old.

Looking beautiful! Wrasses? Just beautiful!

Thank you!

The tank went wet on Dec 10th, 2017 so it's second birthday is comming up.

Yup, 3 of my planned 6 are added. I'll probably add the other 3 next month.

Got IDs on those? 3 looks like a mccoskers (I’m getting one next week) but I’m new to wrasses and it could be a carpenters. Or neither, lol

Edit: not even close lol.

What else are you getting? I’m considering a naoko as well as another flasher (carpenters but it might be too similar to the mcC) I need to find that wrasse compatibility chart.
