Couple of pictures

New to this forum and wanted to post a couple of pics. These are about a month ago, and I've had some recent growth on some of my corals. I switched to the Tek T5 light about 2 months ago or so, and I have seen a huge difference in my corals. Hope these come out.

The montis and birdsnest have really showed good growth since these were taken, I'll try to post some recent shots of the green birdsnest to compare

These zoos look incredible under the T5 HO actinics...

When the new UVI T5 actinics come out I will be trying one out to see the differences.....

Thanks Tim! I just wish I hadn't let the @#$% sump run low, sending microbubbles all over the tank before taking pictures. I will be building an auto top off for Kalk tomorrow out of a 5 gallon bucket. Problem solved hopefully.....

Thanks again for the compliments.

Looks great! but it looks like the hammer and the frogspawn could sting each other.

Was JUST gonna say that! hahah...Good catch Rotties.

Tank is very nice! So much so that I'd like to see you to keep it that way! haha

The Hammer and the Frogspawn are two very aggressive corals that are VERY good at developing sweeper tenticles during the night. Give each of them at LEAST 6-8" of room all around...to make sure they don't kill anything nearby.

Those monti's look GREAT! Very healthy! must be doing somethin' right!

great pics. more, more, more!

Surprisingly enough the frog and hammer don't really mess w/ each other. I've checked at night for that.

On the other hand I've got some pics of the closed brain beating the snot out of that orange monti digi !! That's the pair I expected someone to comment on. It actually hits one of the heads of the trumpet up top too!! That thing is mean..... I've left everything where it is, because it's only effecting a small part of the other corals (one sides taking the beating while the others do well )....

I'm actually going to have to move the brain and the trumpets soon because of too much light. These T5s have a ridiculous amount of PAR, especially w/ the GE daylight bulb in the mix. I bet I have as much PAR in the upper part of the tank as 250w MH lights.

Anyways, thanks for the comments everyone. I will try to get some pics today and post the growth on some of the corals. Very impressive. My calcium usage is quite demanding right now, hence the reason I'm off to HD to make an auto Kalk dripper now. Bye for now.
