SPS Tank Center Piece

Garrett W. · Dec 31, 2016

Hey there all! Everyone has that one SPS piece that is the heart of their system and always the first one you point out when someone sees your tank for the first time. Lets see them beauties! For me its my Orange Setosa that I got as a smallish frag but has gotten to a pretty good colony size in about a year. First pic is a couple weeks after I got it and second/third are the most recent photos (in blues and whites).

Thank you! :D No idea on PAR reading. Never done one for my tank. My light source is a Hydra 26 (non-HD) about 12 inches above the water. settings are blues around 80% with everything else set around 15%.

Just now getting all its beautiful purple and blues glowing after a long period of higher phosphates and not enough feeding. Under all t5s. Its some kind of bonsai purple acro? Had no name just liked the look and gave it a shot. Its doubled in size in a 7-8 month period.

Looks exactly like the purple bonsai in my tank. Gorgeous piece. :D
