Luke33's Acrylic 180g SPS Adventures

[luke33]

Stunning acro pics, luke33! Amazing growth on the Orange passion too!

Thanks man, everything is doing pretty well. The OP grows like a weed, going to give it another 3-6mths before cutting it at all. The raging bull is growing well and super bright purple with teal base....fish smashed into it and broke it in half a few mths ago so i have two now. Hopefully you are back in Indy this year and i'll pick up a few more. Hope your build is going well.

All your sticks look awesome my friend! We love visiting Indy and the world-class Children's Museum there too. All is well with my build...if I keep throwing money at it ...it will eventually be complete lol

I like LPS too!











But mostly SPS

So the last few months I have had a bit of algae/diatoms in the tank. Just enough to where you notice them but they aren't causing any issue's. Well they just vanished a few weeks ago and last night i discovered my one of the dosers on my dosing pump was not working and it was supplying the acropower. In the last two weeks i have noticed my sps and lps just taking off growth wise and really coloring up. I have also noticed my tank is much cleaner now as well, so in a nutshell i believe the last 6mths of acropower dosing has been a total waste.

A few cooking in my frag tank. Love it when daylights look better than blue led.

The middle one looks like a PC Rainbow, at least those colors are what I am getting on mine, but I could be way off. Amazing corals and tank!

Definitely not a PC Rainbow. I have two colonies of it and right now it hates me and is just a dull red with a little yellowish on the base. That is a finicky coral that takes me a good 4mths to make happy after it dulls out.

That one I have 5-6 frags of from a mariculture colony. For a mariculture its pretty crazy looking. Thanks for the comment and if you have a pc rainbow like that your doing it right ; )

Just wanted to show a growth shot of the Reef Pets Ultraviolet. This thing grew from a 3/4" nub and has really taken off in the last 3mths. It was once an extremely slow grower but has established and is growing like a weed now.

Took a couple pics tonight, pearberry and unknown acros are growing well. The unknown grows like a weed and has all sorts of potential. Then again, a nicely colored up pearlberry is tough to beat!

Thanks man! The pearlberry is one of those sps I have been practicing color with for years. It's a fun one.

First two were browned out bargain bin's from Premium Aquatics for $15 that looked to have some potential. Daylight pics.






And a few other daylights. Happy thanksgiving!

Tenius I picked up at Modern Aquatix. Was not real special when i picked it up but has become pretty crazy blue with long orange polyps.
