Added two more corals to the tank today, trying to really get my levels to move.

I finally spent some money on corals and I am so glad I decided to. I ended up scoring a rrc rainbow splice and I can’t wait till it grows out. The other coral is a sbb pink berry. Should colorup some but who knows I am more excited for the splice.

I needed to make room on my frag rack to house the splice and the pink berry since that tank seems to grow coral consistently so I moved this husky fella to the big tank.

John this one looks like you need to frag it,

 

[john90009]

Yeah I deffinitly need to frag more of it, this coral can get all green and pink under the right conditions. I’m my biocube I think I’m extremely low on iodine and molybdenum so it lost some of its green, here is what the frag looked like when I first got it.

Went to cut a frag today, ended up with the whole colony. Use your dads 20 year old wire cutters and this is the result. Oh well guess it’s pink lemonades turn to join the big tank.

Here’s a frag rack picture. And I’m happy to see the pink lemonade hasn’t rtned from the move between two tanks. Still strong and polpys are flowing.

Thank you, never really got down how to use my dslr and work the white balance on it however, when I use the yellow polyplab lense the corals colors are as close to my eyes so it’s much easier and more convenient to take and upload pics from the phone nowadays.

Try using Kelvin for white balance and dial it until it looks right. Plus you'll need an orange filter for your lens.

This cherrybomb frag was placed on the rock on April 18 and the second photo was taken from today, so ten days later. I’m happy to see some minor encrusting within the first two weeks, it’s a very positive site.

Rainbow splice is starting to encrust.

Well, I figure the big tank could use some sps to suck up a lot of alkalinity in the water so here are some quick daylight shots using just warm whites and cool whites so I can get a 6500k look. Soon will come the actinic shots!

Nice! What coral is the first one?

 

[john90009]

The first one is poto cofefe which grows alottt like cornbreds tangerine dream. Both are very unique and will be a true orange. I am in love with this coral already and I haven’t seen it yet in actinics with orange glasses. I expect to see a color loss across all corals once they settle in and sprout new growth the color will return.

 

[john90009]

Love them all

Second go around with this favia after my lobo ate the first one right off the ground. And also third try with an og bounce. This one’s been healed for awhile and hopefully with my bigger tank where there’s area of no flow and I am dosing nitrates and phosphates I’ll be able to keep it alive.
