Hey folks,

I'm Chris from Oz. Been out of the hobby for a few years but got an 80G tank setup last December.
Will post a tank journal of sorts soonish but until then, I got a bunch of macro shots if you wish to peruse. I'm in Oz so some corals may not be familiar to everybody.
I have an abnormally low nutrient tank (not trying to though), even though I use only minute amounts of PhosBan, I have a good bioload by feeding heavy so to help
with this, Coral nutrition-wise, I feed my tanks Continuum PhytoBlast every Mon, Wed & Fri at night and TLF AcroPower alternating days in the morning. I contribute
most of my wild colony success to this, since they can very hit and miss. A lot of the wild colonies collected in Western Australia are very hardy & they usually adjust
to my LED life rather fast which in my case, is a DIY option consisting of Lumia 5.2 pucks.

Google album to peruse

CHRIS!!! WELCOME!!!
NICE corals!
Do you find that your wild-collected specimens encrust a lot before they gain verticle growth? I ask because this is my experience.
 
Welcome to R2R!!! Thank you for the introduction - we're glad you're here!
 
Welcome! Okay, you can't give us an intro like that and not show us some pictures! It's just not fair. Glad to have you with us.

The pictures are hiding in the link to the Google album that is at the bottom of the intro post - it took me a bit to find them as well.

Okay. Got them. WOW! Still need a full tank shot though.
