Markburns43 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Holy hell that's put together so beautifully, everything is placed as if you envisioned it. Just making talk but what made you say I want to be all sps dominant? Do you still have some Lps hiding on the other side? Link to comment
darren.huang Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 thanks a lot. I do not have any more LPS, I like hammer coral those type of LPS a lot but I need to space out the corals more due to the long tentacles. I do have some zoas. Link to comment
dropped Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Wow that looks amazing, were they all grown from the frags pictured? Link to comment
darren.huang Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 Hi Tks. Nope. I bought it as wild colonies and mix with the frags. Link to comment
ajmckay Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I'm guessing you live in an Asian country? I say that because it seems that large SPS colonies like this are more common there. Please make sure you care for this tank in a way that promotes it's longevity and the sustainability of this hobby. In other words many stony corals in other parts of the world are or may soon be classified as threatened species and collection banned. It would be great to contribute frags of these corals to others who want to grow them out to keep them from having to be harvested from wild reefs. I'm sure you'll be fragging these guys soon as there's not a whole ton of room left for grow out! Anyways the tank looks really beautiful. I like the centralized "bommie" style. Along with the mixed colors of the SPS it's quite stunning. Link to comment
Nano sapiens Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Wow, that is one very attractive grouping of SPS! Link to comment
darren.huang Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 Yes. I live in Singapore and our lfs doesnt sell frags. The only way to get frags is from other reefers. Maybe a 2" frag is S$30 while a similar colonies but not fully color up cost S$60-S$80. Link to comment
D3monic Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I was about to be thoroughly impressed. at first I thought that was all from 5 months worth of growth. I was about to put some serious though into what i'm doing wrong lol Tank looks great man. Really nice. Link to comment
