Just starting this for myself mostly, as a place to document my progress and hopefully watch the reef come alive. Keep in mind all but one photo was taken under white led's only, my iPhone hates blue leds. Equipment would be a reef octo bh2000 hob skimmer, small pump going through 2 reactors, carbon and gfo, reef breeders photon 48, jebao rw-8 and wp-40, tune ato, two drews dosers for alk and calc, one brs dose for vodka dosing.
Full tank shot as of today.
Full tank shot with blue leds
And my fancy equipment setup (don't mind the wires, i got a nice used apex, i'm in the process of making everything as neat as i can get it down there, and putting some doors on the cabinet).
And now onto the corals, first up my ORA Borealis
Strawberry shortcake (rescue coral from another tank, i took it home and fragged any good pics, bunched them up and just waiting for them to grow into each other.
Red planet on the left of the rock, purple bonsai on the same right to the right, in the back to the right hydnophora, to the left of that a green stag that took a bit of a turn but is getting it's color back now and doing well again.
Next one i'm not positive what it is, I picked it up under the assumption it was a Vivid aquariums type strawberry shortcake, but i don't think i've seen its full coloring yet, and looks to be more of a tabling type acro so far just from the growth i've got.
Christmas Favia and in the back another type of green acro, looks brown in the photos, but has green corallites and when put in high light (he's a bit too low in my tank) the stem becomes a light color, blue greenish, and has blue growth tips.
Orange Digi
Duncan, there's a ponape birds nest above, color washed out and is starting to come back.
Deresa Clam, some darth maul play's to the right, setosa up top along with the long polyp leather
Maxima Clam
Birds of paradise and green cap
ORA Ice tort
Blue Sunset Milli
Pearlberry
ORA Hawkins
