Very nice Christy, I like the 4th one.

All of mine were just frags and never made it past that point. I have none now.

Sucky. Yeah I'm back to the short fuzzy stick look too. Lucky I have access to most of them to start them up again.

Barbara · Geekette

my fav is the 4th too...but all look really nice....sorry to hear you've lost a lot....if it makes you feel any better ALL of our sps are gone

...we had some incredible beauties too - all at their peak right before their demise

Nice Christy. We dont have any sps left so nothing to add but we saw ento's tanks the other day and man does she have some nice looking corals in it

Still looking great Luke

luke33 · Reef-Geek

Thanks. I need to get some new shots as my calc reactor has been up for a few weeks and my corals are growing like weeds now, even more so. The yellow acro is grown to the tip of the water and stopped. I even had a tricolor stn on me very bad, got it stopped and its completely overgrown the skeleton and is starting to turn purple....success! That was a fun 3mth battle.

Barbara · Geekette

we feel your pain luke!

that comes with this hobby I guess...nice pics!

So what reactor are you running? Octopus

luke33 · Reef-Geek

Yea, its the swc 140cr. It was cheap and works. Biggest problem i have is the drip rate. Is there a good valve to use with that? I have a john guest fitting on there now because the one that came with it wasn't staying consistent, but neither is the john guest so idono. If i could figure that out i'd be happier.

I use the little plastic needle valve that came with mine. I have to clean it from time to time but its pretty trouble free

Sneezy · Big-Geek

Those are looking great Luke, how are they adjusting to your new lights?

luke33 · Reef-Geek

There still growin like weeds man, even more so now. Upgraded the lights, got the calc reactor and the flow has went from 7200 to around 9600gph so they are loving it.

kyriakos · Reef-Geek

very nice acros. ilike the granulosa you have perfect.

luke33 · Reef-Geek

Thanks man. I think i have 4 different types, all coloring up differently. Interesting how they all look different. One nearly died off completely, but has since recovered and is just now starting to color up again. Here's what it use to look like before it stn'd and turned brown. Its pry twice this size now, but just ugly. I imagine in a month or two it will look better than ever as its starting to color back up on the tips.

luke33 · Reef-Geek

Here's some fun growth pattern stuff.

Yellow acro 3yrs time

Blue Tenious 1.5 yrs

Tri Color 1yr

I keep all the before and afters for photo purposes : )

chris&barb · Lost

Thats cool how they colored up so mush

marvik · Reef-Geek

this is my new addition hope it well ,just brought it
