This is my show piece. I have moved it around a bit, but I think this is its home.

Looks fluffy and happy

Another grow out in the frag tank. I took me a long time to find the right frag of this. One of my favorite montis.

I picked up a few new torches a few weeks ago. This one is one of my new favorites.

Update?

 

[mtraylor]

Well its been a minute since I have been on the forum. Just to catch up. When I had the bryopsis issue with algae I had to run 3 consecutive treatments of flux rx. For a total of 6 treatments to get rid of the algae. The flux rx runnning for this long took out the majority of all corals I had. However. I no longer have an algae problem.

I have not done anything to the aquarium. I have just let it run and that is about it. I will follow up with a few pics.

My Goni survived and is very healthy. Looks great

My chalices didn't mind the treatment either. They did loose color, but came back pretty good

The Orphek Osix lights have been awesome! One thing I really like about them is that they immolate the MH's really well. My Chicago Sunbursts from Frost slowly moved over to the red spectrum only in my display tank under the Osix's and Icon's. They look amazing!

As frost said they are yellow under led's and red under his halides. I'm rocking some amazing colors out of these Chicago Sunbursts!

I have a few babies in my frag tank which is under Radions and they are the standard yellow color and have remained that way. It just shows how amazing the Orphek Led lighting is. I'm really impressed.

what is the purpose if you killed all your corals...? better you take them out or restart the tank completl or clean the rock you would still had them

Had some weekend fun after tweaking my icon's a couple weeks ago. Trying to get the spectrum more like the AB+ spectrum. The sps and other corals have responded well with more color. So welcome to the bllue light district as I started to take pictures early in the morning when most blue and flourscents.

Stunning tank! Please share your Orphek lighting schedule.

Orphek ICON Upgrade

Well I updated my lighting on my main display from Orphek v4 gen 2's with 2 OR3 150's to Orphek ICON's with 4 OR3 150's. I thought I would put my lessons learned together for the upgrade to share with everyone and maybe make your upgrade a bit...
