It really is. It's so cool to watch how it grows with the green protien infection causing the grafted look!

LOL, I love Bubba's picture, and can only hope to be in his league some day, but I believe in showing the corals in daylight and making sure the pictures are as true to my eyes as possible instead of shooting in blue light with orange filters and tons of post processing. The tiles are 3" x3", but I am switching to 4" x 4" as the grow out colonies need more space already!

Hey! Are you saying I use filters and shoot under blue and use lots of post processing? Lol

I don’t shoot under blue or with filters.

Nope - saying the opposite. I love the way your pictures look so natural! I should have phrased that better. Punctuation does matter :) Should've said - I love Bubba's pictures, and can only hope to be in his league some day. I believe in showing the corals in daylight and making sure the pictures are as true to my eyes as possible instead of shooting in blue light with orange filters and tons of post processing. -Two seprate sentences...

Your pictures are great! Very accurate and if you sell corals people know exactly what to expect.

I really like this piece too. I almost lost it when it came in from Battle Corals, but it pulled through and is doing great now. BC I Can't Believe We Have to Meld With Other Demons. I love the plumb colored polyps!

@SawCJacsawc

Good evening.
I just read your build thread from top to bottom. Truly a work of art. You have done an amazing job with your reef.

Mind if I ask you a question or two?

I will be starting my new build soon. Hope to get started in January.

I have a 5ft long x 30inch deep x 24inch wide 180 gallon display tank that will be SPS dominate.

I have 4 Neptune Wav pumps that I plan on having on the back wall.
I have 2 gyres (fx150) that will be on the sides facing each other. I will be replacing then with the 300 series in the future.
I also have a Tunze Stream 3 but I don't know where in the tank it's going to go yet.

You are the only person I've run across that has a similar tank with similar flow equipment.

Where do you have your Wav's? I know they are on the back wall but where on the back wall are they?

How do you avoid sandstorms?
Would it be too much to ask for a pic of how you have the Wav pumps mounted?

Good morning, thank you for the kind words, and I appologize for the delayed response. I will try to take some pics in the next day or so to show you how I have the Wav's mounted. 2 of the 5 are on the back wall, and 2 are on the left side with one on the right side.

Happy new year to you!

Thank you.
You are the only person I've seen that has as much flow as I'm planning to have.

You have your Wav's up to 100%?
You don't have sandstorms?

The Wav's run on a crazy random pattern that I made myself. The sand I used is Caribsea Special reef and is a larger grain sand so it doesn't really blow around much. My Bella Gobies on the other move it around signifigantly :)
