I have to admit I've never been a big fan of T-5's but man the lighting you have for your tank looks beautiful!

T5s are really nice, no shadows and they're very crisp. I will probably change the bulb combo to be less blue next time, it's a little much for me.

 

Tanks looking really good- nice looking SPS pieces

 

Thank you! :)

That's a helluva color change over a week,wow.

 

Yeah it's been interesting, and I don't think it's done changing at the moment either. I know from the colony my brother had that this acro is capable of nice bright blue coloration, I've never seen it turn purple like this before though.

Did you move it from its previous location? More light? Less light?

 

When it started changing it was still on the frag rack, so it hadn't moved, its just continued to change since I placed in on the rock 4 days ago. I would guess probably less light where it's at currently.

 

This makes me wish I had room for a larger tank...

 

I'll just have to live it through your tank!

 

One day I'm sure you'll have a bigger tank. :) Thank you.

Here's where the frag pack from Adam is at, I'm going to move all of them up besides the smooth skin because I feel like they have enough zooxanthellae.

Also got this nice rainbow rimmed Wellso Brain with yellow splotches, really love the coloration of this one.

Next four acros are all from Adam at Battle Corals, they're finally starting to show some promise now that they're on the frag rack.

Damn nice Wellso man, taste the rainbow! And those acros from Adam look great...lots of potential.

 

Thanks! My smooth skin from Adam is still in rough shape but the others should all be placed on the rocks by next week, very happy with the progress they have made. :)

those the wild cut pack from adam that he was selling he was selling ? i only got 3 of them and 2 were doa. I told him my rainbowberry came a blizzardberry lol .. he took care of me like always . , the other is starting to color up nicely though . I have almost same exact setup , except i use a photon 48" instead of t5's and r8s instead of mp40's. so that just meant 3 other packs from adam...lol i find in my setup if you adjust the skimmer to the white o ring it produces just the right skimmate . . As far as being quiet i find my skimmer to be very quiet i use food grade rubber mats and zip tie them around all my pumps to dampen the sound , and i just use an eheim compact for a return pump works fine . Looks good though , everything is on its way !

This past weekend cyano took over my tank and my bryopsis is getting a bit out of control, going to start kent tech m soon to try and combat the bryopsis and let the cyano run its course. Anyways, all of the acros that have been doing well are looking really great right now so I'm not too worried with everything. Then there're the ones that are completely under performing, I'll do a photo update of those tomorrow. It's hard to put time into photos on them since they are ticking me off. :wacko:
Getting ready to place these four frags from Adam, so last picture update before they leave the frag rack.

Sorry there isn't much to update you guys, not too much change has occurred except these frags from Adam just keep getting better and better and growth is truckin' along.

Thank you, they are indeed the wild cuts from Adam. Two of mine aren't doing well, the smooth skin really isn't recovering at all from shipping, but the other four are doing really great. All in all I'm happy, wilds are always a gamble.
