Thats a real nice tank youve got there. I like the plate coral a lot.

 

[d.french]

[jhnrb]

I have just fixed my computer problem and obviously can access the site again. I will post some pics of the lights and current tank soon. new digital camera so as soon as I can figure it out will post.

 

[d.french]

[LionFish]

Me three!

 

[fishbait]

oooo, I would love to see an updated full tank shot! I'll bet those corals have grown like crazy in the last few months.

 

[Doc]

no kidding. I am excited to see what has happened in your tank....

[Doc]

maybe put in a "before and after" pic. One from the archives and then post the most recent one. I think that will give such a great feel for the coral growth

-Doc

 

[jhnrb]

Here is a before and after. the after is after lights have started to shut down and things are closing up.

Better pic tomorrow of current. as you can see if you look close, I have move some things around and have gotten rid of some things. still working on final combatants for the system that will stay. so a good comparison will probably be next june or so when the system is a year old.

 

[fishbait]

it looks like the monti cap has done well.

 

[Doc]

I am impressed John. I wish my Monti Cap was growing like that

[reeffreak]

[jhnrb]

[jhnrb]

Add pics

 

[d.french]

freakin awesome, love the whisker coral, everything looks great.

 

[Doc]

HOLY :pooh: John...your SPS growth is pretty much amazing....jerk....I mean that in a nice sense ;-). How did you get your Monti Caps to do that?!?!?!? How long have you had those and what size were they when you got them? Great pics

-Doc

 

[jhnrb]

one inch frags, and the cap was about half size. all together the system is just 6 months old. about. Everything is doing pretty good so far. I use auto kalk makeup and have not yet brought the denitrator on line or the calcium reactor. I dose iodine occasionally about 12 drops a week after the 2 week from the water change. a quarter cap of vitamins, trace elements, and an eighth cap of strodium/ molydium, and a quarter cap of magnezium all one time between water changers. its hard to explain a routine as I basically go on how my system looks. I feed twice a day for fish and once a day for corals and sometimes about every third night corals when lights are off except for moon lights. I will be testing this week to see if I need to bring more equipment on line i.e. calcium reactor or the nitrate reactor. bout it for now. Thanks for the kind comments.
