Tank master. How are you getting your acro's to have such great polyp extension? The few acro's I have only extend their polyps at night .

I really don't know, all my corals have great pe in general and some don't in my other systems and I basically do everything the same all throughout. I think it is just how old and mature the tank is, my 125 is 10+ yrs.

tank master · 08/18/2015, 07:52 PM

Some pics

RR Black Cherry

JKR Joe's Rainbow

JF Fox Flame

RR CA Wolverine

RR Garden of Eden, developing a lot of colors now.

reefmutt · 08/18/2015, 09:28 PM

Awesome. That fox flame is stunning. The wolverine is about to be super crazy- as opposed to the crazy it is right now..
Have you ever tried rr jaw dropper or avengers?
I've never seen a nice jaw dropper other than in a rr pic but based on your collection, I could imagine it looking pretty good in your tank..

reefmutt · 08/18/2015, 09:33 PM

That garden of Eden looks a lot like a photo of yours from page two, post #40. You called it orange passion...

tank master · 08/18/2015, 09:43 PM

Hi Matt.
The garden and sc orange passion a completly different that is for sure.
They could be the same species but the color pattern is different.
I am still looking for the jd and avengers, hard to find the real deal for those.

MichaelW · 08/18/2015, 11:34 PM

Wow! I will take one of each please (2 of the Fox flame). Where do you get all the reef raft corals? Online, LFS, or other hobbyists? Never see any around here

I collect most of my pieces online and picked some up from the locals.

reefmutt · 08/19/2015, 08:09 PM

I wish I was a local!!!

Pretty much summed it up for me, while the pics are large, I can see that the color is slap you in the mouth crazy!!!

M007 · 08/20/2015, 06:27 PM

They are outstanding aren't they

Mr.Fishtank · 08/20/2015, 07:20 PM

Thanks for the reply.
Would you mind sharing your radion graph file? I just installed the g3 pro and haven't got a clue where to start with the spectrum's. Your corals look so good you must have a spectrum that they like.

Thanks for the compliment, not sure how to make pictures smaller, still trying to figure that out.

Send me your email and I can send you my schedule.

reefmutt · 08/21/2015, 05:37 AM

Don't go smaller!
Big is good!
More detail.. Better resolution

Mr.Fishtank · 08/21/2015, 12:31 PM

Tank master.
I can't pm you till I have 10 post. So i'll make a few.

Mr.Fishtank · 08/21/2015, 12:33 PM

Is there anyway to upload pics without an online cloud? All of my pic's are on SD cards.

Mr.Fishtank · 08/21/2015, 12:36 PM

IDK

Mr.Fishtank · 08/21/2015, 12:39 PM

I have had the new radion's for a couple of days now and I noticed my strawberry lemonade acro is getting yellow like its supposed to. It was all pink.

Sorry for rambling on I needed to make 10 post to pm.

cFloor · 08/21/2015, 06:38 PM

The health and colors of your corals is amazing. That and the high quality photos makes this a very fun thread to visit.

Thanks, it took a bit to practice my photography skills, but I think I got it now.
I don't quite know how to make the photos a bit more compressed as they are huge right now.

tank master · 08/21/2015, 07:28 PM

I got a blue star leopard today to add on to the sump compartment, hopefully this one doesn't pass away like my last several attempts with them. The new 3 and the older meleagris leopards are still doing good, only 1 of them has not accepted mysis at this point and will eat fish eggs without complaint. I'll probably transport them into my 220 soon or my 180.

Mr.Fishtank · 08/21/2015, 07:30 PM

Thank you for the graph tank master. I had to lower the overall intensity down quite a bit as I don't want to fry anything. Do you have a FTS?

Not a recent one but I think I can find a really old one.
Time really flies by.

I see your tank is BB..........

I don't know of anyone that has had long term success with leopard wrasses without a sand bed. If you haven't done this already, you need a small sand tub for them.
