Schnitzel's SPS

[Graffiti Spot]

To be honest I have no clue. Here’s a close up pic of it.

I’ve had it about 7 years. I can’t know for sure, but I believe this was the acro that taught me about AEFW. It was one of the first acros I ever bought, and back then I didnt know much about SPS. After I broke down my last tank I kept a few acros in a frag tank and did regular Bayer dips. I decided to keep this one to remind me never to put a frag in my tank again with out thorough inspecting and doing a bayer dip.

Awesome colony! Looks like it, or some digitate similar to it. Either way really beautiful colony, makes me happy to see such big pieces growing and not being cut all the time which just disturbs growth patterns eventually. Thanks for the pic!

Last week I took my canopy down and replaced all my T5 bulbs. Snapped some top down pics while it was off.

It’s crazy to see these colonies from top down. I didn’t even realize how big they are. They are def outgrowing the tank. I’m gunna buy a hand saw and try to cut bigger pieces, cuz my fish are running out of room to swim. Hahaha

WOW!!! That is amazing! So cool to see colonies that large. Are you having to feel a lot to keep the colonies colorful?

How are the sump/Radion frags coming along?

Amazing growth. One of the best tanks on R2R

Awesome man thanks for taking some top downs! Beautiful growth forms on these corals as well. No funny branching or wired growth anywhere, everything’s just crazy nice. Should give a lot of people something to aspire too.

How often are you changing out your T5 bulbs? I asked in the past but what photo period are you running these days?

 

[Trevor40]

I don’t remember exactly, but something like this:
Reefbrites for 12 hours.
2 T5s for 8 hours
all 8 T5s together 6 hours

Found the answer in the thread. ;)

What bulb combo did you go with on the new set?

Nice top down pictures!

Your tank has achieved mind boggling status! It’s been pretty amazing the whole trip in your thread, but it’s grown into a total wonderland. Well done, and keep up the great work!

Little video of the tank

Make sure you watch it in HD

I love that video.

I hate when videographers put their crappy music over the top of an otherwise awesome tank vid

[Graffiti Spot]

Yea no kidding, updates now! I bet your getting to the point where you have to cut down a lot of those colonies.

 

[PSXerholic]

Nick, I would like to try a calcium reactor, a geo. Can you give me a parts list for what I would need to get. My tank is a 75 gallon with sump. So probably around 95 gallons total water volume.
i am trying to getmy tank to take off
Like yours. My light is an 8 bulb powermodule.
thanks nick!
