Top down pictures

[melev]

Back in March, someone on this site offered to build top down photoboxes for y'all. So, let's see some pictures of your reefs now that you've got them.

Here are a few shots from my tank last week.

Show off....just pops on here once every few months to show us some mouth watering pictures.

BTW...as I set up my new tank I am in awe of the 14 day build.

Thanks Melev!
In the last shot, is that a "Chips" acro?

 

[melev]

Yes, those are aiptasia. My reef has lots of them. I've gone through a few CBBs trying to get one that would eat them, but that has been an expensive and fruitless process. I brought home a bunch of Peppermint Shrimp from a collection trip, but my Longnose Hawkfish eats them - so that fish really has to go.

The last coral is a frag of Acropora nobilis. The parent colony leaned on that rock and created a puddle. The frag has grown beautifully while the parent colony has continued to die over time. It was a stunning coral, and just having these little branches gives me a spark of hope to see something amazing one day.

Wow, This is the famous Marc who runs Melevs Reef and reef central. I am a big fan of yours. I looked at your Melevsreef.com for inspiration when I did my tank.


Thanks for sharing.

Hi Yili,

Yep, that's me - although I don't run RC. Or maybe I run amok over there. Something like that, depending on which moderator you speak with.

My site continues to get new updates added as time permits. Just refer to my Reef Logs page (center button my site) to see the latest information.
