What you started with? So it came from the store looking like that? When are you going to show us pics of it now?
 oh I crack myself up... Seriously though great tank looks like you are really coming along. I love the yellow zooanthids, and what's that fuzzy neon green patch off center to the right? right below the ricordia?Henry

"hcp28" those yellow zooanthids are actually yellow/orange sun polyps that are out becasue they think I am gonna feed them. ANd the neon green thing is some kind of sponge I thought the color was neat so I decided to let it grow!
Here a few before and after picks of corals: Bubble:   The first pic is actually after I had had the coral for a few weeks! I got this coral for $3 it had one tiny barely visible polyp. Candy   Sorry I dont have a more recent close up of my candy. It doesn't look much different it just has some more new growth. I will see if I can get some more closeups of my tank tonight. I will do what I can, as you can see photography is not my strong point. If there is anything specifically you want to see up close just let me know! Thanks for all the kind words |

Excellent job! You have really provided a great environment for the corals as shown by the vast improvement in their health.
Keep up the good work. Regards, Kevin

Thank you all for the kind words. I try and do the best I can with the budget I have! I have a wife that doesn't think the the reefin' thing is nearly as cool or fasanating as I do. Not only is she my wife but she also happens to be my accountant and my boss!

Hi DINHOUSE!
Your tank looks very nice! It's amazing the difference a year can make even on a budget.
 Excuse my ignorance, but what is the use of the Maxi-Jet placed verticle with the airline attached? Do you use that for a skimmer? Regards, |

very nice tank-the progression shots are great-wish i had some of those.
just a suggestion:the sarcophyton you have on the right side on the bottom -put it up top.it will really appreciate the extra light the fingers would grow closer together and the polyps will grow more densley.to my eye-its cleary stretching to the light. just a freindly suggestion-by all means if you like where it is -it wil do just fine |

"Reefland" the maxijet actually is used to power a skimmer I just got. The skimmer has been removed to be modified. The boss was around when I pulled the skimmer and a few drops of water got on her carpet and I heard about it for two days so in efforts to keep the peace I left the powerhead in the tank for the time being.
"organicreefer" Excuse me for my ignorance of the real name of corals but I assume you are talking about the devils hand? When I first got it I had it high in the tank and it would never open up all the way it stayed small so I moved it. It has since doubled in size. SO did I maybe have it to high in the tank? I will try and move it half way and see how it responds. Thanks for the info it is much appreciated! |

hhhmmmm-i was thinking it was a "toadstool" -leather coral growth forms can vary quite a bit -and it does somewhat resemble a "devils hand" -its hard to tell from the angle of the pic.im still leaning toadstool-i think its similar to one i have.
irregardless of the species-its still stretching for light(or so it seems ) and i would slowly move it up.it probably didnt open up because it wasnt aclimated to the light or was just going through a shedding period (lightbulb comes on over head) speaking of which does it periodically stay closed for a day or two or three and shed a waxy skin?(something toadstools do regularly) |
