Recent pics of my 125 reef

Just some pics I took today of my 125 reef tank. Sorry about the tank pic as it`s hard to get a good pic of a 6 ft tank with my camera.

That is alot of growth!How long has it been going and what is the second coral pic?

 

[Melosu58]

That tank is over 12 yrs old. It started as a 55 gallon for 7 yrs and then transfered to a 125 gallon for the last 5 yrs. Several fish and corals have been there from the beginning. The last pic in the first post is my 12+ yr old bubble coral. The second coral is ricordeas.

12 years!That is along time.

I was asking about the second picture from the first post,after the FTS.

Such big beautiful colorful corals Mike. Congrats on such long term success. :bowdown: Have you ever had a major crash and lost things?

Looks great Mike.
I feel your pain when it comes to FTS's of a 6ft tank.

Yes that is ricordea mushrooms. Also never had a crash. I attribute weekly PWC`s, Plenty of LR ans my refuge for the success.

Confused?Maybe I'm missing something somewhere.

I see the ricordeas(third pic) but I don't know what the second pic is.It has a frogspawn to the left and mushrooms below in the same pic.

It kinda looks like a goni or an alve? But frillier. The second pic overall.

I`m sorry. I`m an idiot. That`s a pagoda cup coral. Let me go back and learn how to count. Sorry.
