FarmerTy's 215-gallon SPS Tank

[FarmerTy]

Looking great Ty!

Thanks bud!

What lights do you have over the new lowboy? Looks like 3 - XR15s maybe? I’m looking to replace the 300w black box in the hybrid fixture over my lowboy but not sure what to do. XR30s would be awesome but out of my price range at the moment. I have a pair of hydra 26 HDs in an aquatic life hybrid over my 75. Considered a pair of 26s over the lowboy but not sure they’d be enough.

Yes, the new one has three G4 pros XR15. The old frag tank has two XR30s.

Can't beat the par and spread with aquaticlife hybrid with the Radions. I love it.

everything is looking great!

I appreciate it sir!

GFO reactor. Targets phosphate and leaves my nitrates as is.


The newest gyres... 350... I have the MP60s. The gyres are dead silent.

I have the newer model gyre 230's in a 90 gallon for about a year and they are and have always been super loud. Going to add a couple of mp40 QD so I can turn them down in a bid to quiet them. Like the pump, love the flow but can't take the noise any more.

You'll like the newest 300 series models then... They are dead quiet. I had the older XF250 before and it has an audible high whine sound... And my tank is in-wall!

Here is a video I shot recently where you can see the polyps in live action.

I'm really digging that blueberry wine!

Took an iPhone shot of the right side of the tank last night. The pics are overly blue usually. Tried to fix it as best I could with the snapseed app. Not too terrible.

I know Acros rule the stick world but if I may ask... what is that yellow/purple Montipora??

In person it's a knockout... I don't have any other iridescent blue like it. It keeps showing up more purple in my pics but it's definitely more of an indigo blue.

In person, people always ask what it is when they are perusing the frag tank.

Are you still using an Avast spyglass reactor? Curious how that worked out for you...

It's just a plain yellow scroll coral. [emoji3526]. One of the more eye catching pieces in the tank. [emoji38]

It does its job but not the miracle I was hoping for. It's not easy to remove like the vendor video because they don't account for bacterial slime growth over time so it's impossible to get a good grip on it and the bottom piece wedges into holder and doesn't just slide out so it practically pulls the whole reactor up with you most times.

I'm still looking for the perfect reactor... This one will do for now.

That's it... I've gone off the deep end. I'm officially a photographer now and not a reefer. It was nice knowing all you guys... [emoji2957]#moderationisoverrated

Very cool! I need to get a macro lens at some point. The tube is awesome as well. Also charge your battery!

^ Loved the video.

I have always wondered why some hobbyist (me) love to watch and see that PE of Acropora.

That's a BigR Freak Nasty who got blasted with too much light and went from orange to pink. [emoji3526]

Well in all fairness his is pink and green too...

Now that my system seems to be settling in after the transfer, I might have to see if you have any "low end" packs for intermediate SPS guys like me LOL.
