a true inspiration to all beginners to one day own tanks like this
i am interested to know how the LED's work out , it seemed as though you had a reef inmates lighting unit , which i have , but LEDS seem to be where everyone is going
watching with anticipation

No to mention how many frags was made , just imagine the growth then :thumbup:

Thanks guys. Crispin, I'm still dumbfounded...those pics are only 18 months apart.

In the first pic, refering to the tall Icecap on the right bommie...today, she has about 2cm to go before...then there's no more water left.

I have three nice pieces that I've been nursing in the frag tank for about a year now...need to now carve out some space somewhere, will bring more color variation to mix. Also intend to add a fourth pendant as I have too much coral...will try and get get rid of some shadowing this will then give all the SPS some LED light.

incredible growth, the power of sunlight and good water!

Well time for a bigger tank

Still my favourite tank - awesome Adee

Adee · 4 Jun 2012

And now, there are four...

Added another Orphek DIF100XP pendant to help balance out the coverage in this tank...too much SPS in there

This one has really coloured up nicely, doing better than under the 400w BLV halide I had on, during last years winter.

speachless, once again, that middle photo with the blond naso is a perfect reef aquarium. thanks for sharing

Adee · 4 Jun 2012

Thanks Crispin, she is a beaut...when I bought her she was just bigger than a chromis.

crispin · 4 Jun 2012

I remember you having a truley beautiful CBB too, unusual dark markings if i recall correctly.

i lost my naso a while back, just as the streamers were realy starting to grow, and somehow i just cant bring myself to replace her. soon i think, but i realy miss that fish, they truley are beautiful tangs

Adee · 4 Jun 2012

My LED Experiment, continued

So being a dabbler of sort in all things SPS related, here are some growth shots of a some frags that I added a couple of months ago. Wish I had taken proper pics when I added them right in the begining. Lighting overhead it an Orphek PR156 unit, with lenses removed. Will take pics every two months.
Need to get the pics in the right focus distance though.
All pics below are exactly two months apart, some serious color changes as well
