Well I originally wanted to start a Thread for my new 120g but I haven't had the time to take pictures of it and everything is still settling in. So since I don't have a thread here on R2R I figured i'd start with the tank that made the 120 possible..

Here are some pictures of my old 40g Breeder/15g frag tank.. Everything from this tank has since been moved into the new 120.
My Camera Operating skills are crappy at best so just deal with the darkness of some of the pictures..

Awesome looking corals,is that a phils granulosa in pics 2 and 3?

Thank you. That coral is very similar to the phil's but is more yellow with much less green. the darker mini frag i put a picture up of is the phils.

beautiful sps you've got there. what are the green polyp blue base frags in pic 8?

thank you
is this the picture you're talking about? the 3 frags dead center?

that coral has no blue base, but that is an ORA green digi

OH... That is just crazy!!! The darker exposure usually bring out the color the coral.

yeah when i use the lighter exposure settings it washes out all the corals and makes everything look white, the darker exposure is more accurate to the actual color of the corals but i just have to deal with everything being dark as heck.. i wish i knew how to work my camera, i need to have kraylen come over and show me how to work it. ha

thank you, it was a very fun tank. I was sad to take the tank down but it was definitely time for an upgrade

lighting: 36" Current USA outer orbit 2x150Watt MH, 4xT-5
Filtration:Aqua-C HOB Ramora, and lots of Macro algea in the sump/fuge.
Dosing: 2 dosing pumps hooked up to my aqua controller dosing B-Ionic 2part throughout the night to keep ph stable.
