Yes Awi. There's some LPS, a RBTA, and even some softies & leathers as well.

Cool, another 150. Good to see more people doing this size tank.
Btw, congrats on the new tank. :party:

Less talking more picture taking ...

Until new pictures are posted I declare this thread dead (or occasionally spelled ded lol)



Seriously though those progression shots on the previous page are fantastic!!! Everything grew in so nicely since this tank was set up.

Also, how is the fight with AEFW going?

I've stopped basting and just dip entire colonies when needed. I would say about three pieces a month need to be dipped. Kind of sucks, but I love the acropora's. In the future, if I set-up another tank, this is one monthly shore I would love to avoid (lol).

Just amazing. Even the frags on the racks are growing out of control.

Great looking tank pauli. Are you using a controller? What kits/equipment do you use to test nutrients?

Thanks Gary. I'll have frags available pretty soon. What are you looking for btw?

Glad you like it. :cheers:

Thanks buddy. And yes, I do use a controller. It's an old Neptunes Jr. As for nitrate, Salifert test kit (try keeping it around 0-10ppm, I've noticed better coloration in the coral with some NO3 in the water then when I had no trace of the nutrient). Phosphate, a Hanna low range tester (I've also had better results from the coral when levels are around 0.03-0.05). Btw, try not to drive yourself mad locking those levels in at your desired setting. Rapid changes in nutrient levels can also stress coral out. :groupflip

I have hear others say this as well.
I am definitely not happy with my coral coloration. My Nitrate and Phosphate levels are both zero. Maybe I should start feeding a little heavier.

As usual....Awesome tank Paulie!

Thanks buddy and sorry for the late reply. Been quite busy lately (lol).

Going to be posting some new pics soon. Can't wait to see the growth I've gotten in three months.

 

[afernandez]

Mr Paul wats going on! Where have u been!!

 

[pauliwalnuts]

Really busy, lol. Lost almost all my fish due to Sandy and the coral took a big hit as well (lost about five colonies). Going to be selling the 150 to a good buddy of mine and setting up a 75 rimless. Maybe I'll post some pics.....hahahaha
