Finally some shots of my sps's - Reef-Geeks

Sneezy · Big-Geek

I never have been any good at doing anything with sps other than killing them. Well I finally have some and they are growing quite nicely so I thought I would show them off.

Orange Cap that has doubled in size in the past 45 days, there is a Birdsnest frag next to it and just past that you can kinda see one of my Acro frags.

Blue tort, and you can kinda see behind it another acro, it was given to me cause it wasn't doing very well in the persons tank. He told me it was a Miami Orchid???

Purple stag and behind it is another birdsnest

Sunset or reverse Sunset, LOL I have no clue Monti

I have more than this but I wasn't intending on doing this thread while I was taking pic's so I didn't get pic's of them. I will have to get them later.

I believe that is the sunset, and good looking corals. What do you have them lit with?

I just have a 4 bulb 54w overdriven T5 fixture, I am letting them adjust at the moment and then I have another 2 bulbs to add to the mix.

They all look good skinz. I find it hard to believe that you just kill them. That cap has some nice growth on it.

Sneezy · Big-Geek

The comparison pictures are great at showing the growth! Looks like you got it right this go around.

Any ideas why previous attempts at SPS failed while your current ones are doing well?

Sneezy · Big-Geek

LOL they failed cause I suck....

I think my phosphates were too high.

chris&barb · Lost

Speaking of PO$ are you still using the hanna checker?

Barbara · Geekette

WOW skinz!!!! they grew quite a bit!!

...so what do you think is helping you this go around? (aside from lower phosphates) ...did you do anything else?
