vlangel Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Great FTS and the tank did not look dirty to me! Your coral are looking really good! Thanks for posting and I will be watching for more pics. Link to comment
Rural Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 more pics. your wish is my command: i give you the answer to sk8n's spinstream poci, my nonspinstream mont weathering the bright lights: when pumps off, for daily feedings of 30min: the ASD rainbow, of course its better in person and pinkish as well. notice even the little 3 polyp break-off frag (on the right in the epoxy) is encrusting and has great polyp extension... i am really digging how quick this one is growing and the dense nature in high flow: that asdr with a little more pink after playing with the camera some.. it is getting that "natural cap" look now andthe wife is liking it a lot, the rainbow monti in the topr right is clutch! if only i could get rid of some frags, any body know people in the "midsouth"?

rickztahone Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 quick question, what kind of top is that? Glass top or acrylic? Link to comment
Rural Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 quick question, what kind of top is that? Glass top or acrylic? glass but i havent used it in 2 months... Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 glass but i havent used it in 2 months... Wait who are you sponsored by? Polyp Labs? Link to comment
Rural Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 Wait who are you sponsored by? Polyp Labs? i guess that could be a possible replacement of the blank??? at the moment i will not say if i DO or DO NOT use their product... hahahhaahhaa okay, time for more photos: regular nozzle monti this tort is growing really well, wished i could capture the real colors of it better. @sk8n here is the encrusting shot of the minicolony and the booger frag. similar sizes of progress, but the minicolony is thicker and has some polyps already appearing on it. sold as leng sei cap on the left, not getting great spire formation yet.... growing so fast, hot pink. outta this world! so there we go. photo dump complete.

rickztahone Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 glass but i havent used it in 2 months... Cool thanks. I am thinking about going with glass as well but am worrying about possibly dropping it. I am not clumsy by any means, just being paranoid about an accident. Do you get condensation on the under side of the glass when you did use it? Link to comment

I am not clumsy by any means, just being paranoid about an accident. Do you get condensation on the under side of the glass when you did use it? tons, it really helps with evap, but i think it cut down on light a ton... Link to comment

What's your definition of "mid south?" haha Link to comment
Rural Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 What's your definition of "mid south?" haha well, easy, in the USA its a place too afraid to call itself southern and for some reason tries to differentiate itself, and its not a fly over state area. and their SEC teams are not good. it is essentially a portion of the USA with an identity crisis.

msparklym13 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 WOW! Your tank is so beautiful!!! I love it!!! Great work!! Thanks for posting pictures- I look at your corals and am so excited to see mine flourish! Best, M Link to comment
Rural Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 ok, shot this in RAW and edited in free RawTherapee for macs. this is as close as i can get it to a life like image in 10 minutes or so of tinkering with exposure and color balance... i didn't even try to touch the 1000 of other RAW editing options. at least the pictures are getting better slowly, i think? you may ask "What does he dose?" the answer tonight was brown sugar cured ham juice on my hands tonight (dinnertime) when i had to reach in to get a frag back in place. 10 min later the lps were in feed mode like CRAZY! picked up a new turbo today at the LFS as mine croaked, had him from day 1. guess he flipped and couldnt right himself. got a baby turbo again now! also picked up some red dragon acropora.

jimmyree Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Love your use of the back wall for "scaping", and your ham juice dosing. Link to comment
Rural Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 so, forgot to turn the AC on... went out of town for a bachelor party. i returned to a tank that was room temperature. too bad room temp was 88*F. did a STAT 25% water change, that dropped the temp well. and the surviving inverts started moving again. albeit slowly. we shall see how this plays out...
