Some of my Acro Collection

[coral reeftank]

Awesome. Are those MP40's or 60's? Seems like those corals close to the powerheads would have their skin ripped from the bone. How do you have them set? ReefCrest? 100%? And are those all the flow you have - just the 2 heads plus the circulation pump?

Mp40s x 4
I have two on each side and run them off set so the water recirculates and switches flow patterns on reef crest

This combo is legit acro steroids! I dose 5 mls of each product twice a week.


P.S. Fun fact the photo on the mecorals amino is actually my photo of my
RR Ca CJ Pinky!

 

[juannnn]

you do an incredible job with your corals, congratulations. do not need to add potassium or iodine to maintain those colors? ozone, uv lamp or carbon use?

The secret cocktail is out! I've run a few of those, my favorite is the flatwormstop which is an amazing product that gets the coral encrusting fast .. I've only been running brightwells coral amino and restor the last 2 years, thanks for giving me an idea for the fall growout season!

Yup!! Been telling people about this combo for years, I think they help immensely for coral health and color in proper use cases.

Not sure if anyone went to aquashella in Chicago this past weekend, but you might have seen me there at the Two Guys Coral booth. Here were some I scooped

TGC Dragon Knight, the colony of this one looked bonkers and I had to take one back home with me. The yellow and red polyps really make this one!

TGC Bugatti, This one looked funky and I like funky

TGC Rainbow Ascension, Super cool milli with violet tips. I've never seen a milli like it




Now for some more eye candy

CRT Monstro

TGC Surprise Attack

This tenuis is becoming one of my favs, saved it from a tiny nubs a few years back. Now the corallites are bright pink with neon green polyps and a teal body.

TGC Disturbia

CRT Hang Over

TGC Megatron, this one is mesmerizing to stare at. The multicolor polyps make for great contrast

I run my tanks very simple.
I only use a protein skimmer, activated carbon, and gfo for nutrient export. I change the carbon and gfo once a month.
As for potassium and iodine I do not dose, I think my frequent weekly 5 gallon WC's replenish trace elements. I'm also sure the KZ products have some special sauce in there as well that might account for my results.

Just got in a fantastic box from Sonny at Raising Reefs today! Did a little trade and got a bunch of classic goodies that I'm glad to have again.

Raising Reefs Dragon Fruit, this things is super bright!

CC Pink Highlighter

RR Raven, got a second one since my original one hasn't grown in over 2 years. One of the brightest prostratas that anyone can get

Matt V Rainbow Envy, 3rd time growing this one out again. I miss my old baseball sized colony so much lol

Raising Reef Fruit Ninja, I got a sweet spot for millis and this one is certainly a sweet one. Super unique!

CRT Star Killer, got this one back!! One of my favs from my personal collection



Here are a few others from my TGC shopping

TGC El Guapo, this one certainly is muy guapo

TGC Creamsicle, this thing looks like my crt gold meister if it was orange instead of gold

 

[coral reeftank]

Some close ups of some big ones

TGC Purble, I love this deep shade of purple and the yellow tips really make it pop!

TGC Cerberus, a crowd pleaser

CRT Pink Binky, This one at night is just a ball of polyps as it feeds

TGC Bonita, this one's super cool reminds me of the OG Asia orange passion but it stays a beautiful pastel tone

CRT Hurricane

CRT Hurricane, I've kept this gem locked away and hidden from people for years. Now it's finally time to show it off!

Post Water change FTS

Wouldn't you like to have the main tank separate from the cuttings? Their pieces lose beauty with all the cuttings.

Ideally, but I just collect too much and even my other tanks are full lol
