dpoltsdsu Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 Gorgonians are in and wedged in rock. I am pretty happy with the placement. I will take some pics tommorow of the individual corals but here is a FTS in the meantime 5 Quote Link to comment
dpoltsdsu Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 Here is a picture of my absolutely beautiful Yuma Ricordea from Indonesia I required a couple of months ago. It seems to be doing well. It's one of the most stunning corals I have ever seen. It's has very bright Orange tips with a blue base to it. 4 Quote Link to comment

dpoltsdsu Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 Really happy with how this reef is turning out. The Acros I have seem to be doing really well so that is a great sign for the tank. Looking forward to adding some more Acro frags in the next couple of weeks. 3 Quote Link to comment

dpoltsdsu Posted November 25, 2017 Author Share Posted November 25, 2017 One of the beautiful Gorgonians I received from KP Aquatics. This particular specimen has a yellow color that is pretty tough to find in corals. 3 Quote Link to comment

fishfreak0114 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Full and gorgeous as usual! Those mushrooms are ginormous! 1 Quote Link to comment
dpoltsdsu Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 The Green Fuzzy Mushrooms in the bottom left of the reef have spread quite a bit over the last couple of months. They are the host of my pair of Clownfish as well and they are always peaking their heads out from under the mushrooms throughout the day 3 Quote Link to comment

DCUEVAS74 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Great setup. Love the Cadlights, used to have one back in the day. Awesome job on coral placement too. Everything looks balanced and gorgeous. What do you think of the A160WEs with controller? I'm about to setup a 30 x 20 x 16 soon and was thinking of the same light setup or just going with the A360s. Would rather save the $$$$ for more corals though lol. Quote Link to comment

I've been happy with the lights so far. I am getting decent growth. Not crazy fast, but not super slow either. The shimmer is beautiful. They aren't ridiculously bright so if you're doing a lot of SPS id probably go the A360 route. If you're doing a little bit of SPS at the top and have LPS and softies, these should do the job. 1 Quote Link to comment

dpoltsdsu Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 Half-stripe, my 5 year old clownfish. He has half a stripe on one side (hence his name). I rescued him from an algae and ich infested tank years ago and he has been a happy and healthy fish ever since! 5 Quote Link to comment
Indiana Reefin Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Really nice tank!! I debated on getting th Cadlights 42 gallon recently, I actually had it in my shopping cart lol. But I decided to wait and build a large reef tank after we build our home in 3-4 years. I just went with a 29 gallon tank from the $1 per gallon sale. Pretty pleased with it so far. i totally agree on the toadstool. One of my favorite corals!! 1 Quote Link to comment
