So this one wasn't really planned I will have to confess. I had my hands in the tank today messing around a little and I bumped my snipers bb gum colony just enough to snap this nugget off. You can see the white tip where the contact was made.

What else could I do? I went ahead and assembled an insanely sweet pack, this time geared a little more for the advanced acro keeper. These are all a little on the finicky side but not necessarily any more demanding. Anyone with some reasonable experience will have no trouble keeping them alive and thriving. If you are struggling in the least bit with sps or just not quite confident in your ability yet, well then these can all be in your future for sure but maybe not this time around.

Adam, sweet pack, can't wait to receive my order. one more week to go. I also second Dodgerblew's request for a FTS, your SPS are one of the best out there with great colors.

I think he has at least 10 tanks to photograph then. And Rob&Gab he has tanks under all three types of lights, so it all depends on the specific coral when it comes to par and lighting with him. Very cool to see in person.

I want to see a full tank shot! You have some amazing pieces


Well my new little display is only a year old so its got a lot of growing up to do yet. All my mothers are in the prop system and not glorious in any way. Having been fragged over and over colonies don't mature as beautifully as when you leave them alone. (one of the reasons I had to have another display)

Here is the DT 30x30 filled with water last march. I wanted to do a little build thread one of these days. I just felt there wasn't quite enough going on in there yet to show off. All my faves are in this tank:tongue: Lit with two gen 2 radion since oct.

again the mother is an overfragged blob for the most part. Here is a closer shot of the one in the display. Agree, I love this thing!

no problem. I am now running leds on half my main system. The rest are still being cooked under my long time bulb of choice the iwasaki 65k. I have said it before and I'll say it again. SPS love this bulb! the tanks under the leds look great too. I had no real interruption switching over in fact some corals have responded better.

I can PM you with a boring list of parameters if your are interested:typing:


Oh and thanks John for chiming in. I was typing this as you were typing that:)

Thank you for sharing Adam. That tank looks great. Something for me to strive for in my pursuit of calling myself an sps guy.

Another amazing amazing pack Adam. Surprised no one has grabbed it yet.

It's a little too much for me right now but I think I'll get myself a nice present and try to put together a mini pack for my birthday

Hey Adam,

Awesome pack...

How do you like your flow pattern in that 30x30 display? Are those 2 MP40s? I have a 36x36 with 2 mp40s that I've never been very happy with the flow in...similar placement. Seems like I would get too much linear flow down the sides in front of the Vortechs and not enough through the middle. Unfortunatley the overflow wasn't how I wanted it due to an error by the manufacturer, and I didn't have enough clearance to the rim to do any standing waves.

Can discuss it here or take it to email if you want. Just saw the pic reminiscent of mine and was curious about your thoughts. Info might be useful to others too.

Awesome frag pack! My recent Battlecorals acquisitions are doing great!
