Here's pictures of a Acropora echinata from the SPS Reef.

Since Supersuns are non-photosynthetic corals and they get their nutrition via capturing of food particles, they are pretty flexible in placement provided the areas they are positioned gets ample flow and easy access to target or broadcast feeding. I opt to position these under the rock ledges simply because there aren't much options when it comes to colors and shape for non-photosynthetic species. And since this reef is just a foot tall, target feeding them becomes easy. Thanks Mellow !

I have a spare slab in my freezer from a earlier purchase. Not too sure whether these are still avaliable thru any LFS.

Thanks Bro flamey ! I'm working on a 2 to 3 times per week target feeding of frozen mysis. Might revert to regular broadcast feeding of 5 to 50 micron reef pearls coupled with PolypLab Polyp Booster. And maybe some frozen cyclopreeze.

Add some Supersuns or Dendrophyllia sp. to brighten up the 'under realm' of the mixed reef.

Grow macroalgae.

What you are looking for are known as alveopora corals. Not commonly available. Have seen these at Iwarna and Pacific Reef.

And giving some attention to the SPS dominated reef, here's the purple Montipora capricornis that's decided against it's original growth formation and went encrusting instead. Specimen has already covered a 4 inch zone. Think I'll soon have a Montipora ground bed.

Purple efflanoutaria and Golden cloves are secured to overflow compartment sides. Similar intention of getting these to guise the bare glass walls.

Thank Bro. But really, there are many local reefs out there that are better looking and maintained compared to what is seen here. These truly deserve the title. More pictures from the Mixed Reef. Fijian Pipe Organs Will be using these as ground cover. Hope they develop fast enough and soon I'll have a section of the reef looking like a flowerbed.

And somebody asked for pictures ?

Thanks Bro ! Btw, the matted filefish did a excellent job clearing up the aips in the SPS reef ! Subzero, the CR is a old unit built years ago. Did some repair work before it's usable. Don't feed much as most fishes are functional ones... they sustain themselves by either grazing from the rockwork or feed on pods. There are reefers who claim that tangs under the zebrasoma genus are particularly susceptible to the micron sized precipitates... did not experience any of that thru my years of usage. However, to be safe, I'll apply insump rather than display. Thanks Bro !! Will do !! Do dropby and chat over reefing matters when you have time It's messy so no pictures. it's a simple sump. Just that it feeds 2 reefs.

Hey guys, here are details of the 2 current reef setups that I'm working with. Both reefs are with Lightings 6 x 39 watts ATI Sunpower Tube configuration Blueplus Coralplus Blueplus Blueplus Coralplus Blueplus Filtration (Same as both reefs are plumbed to a central sump) Deltec MCE 300 skimmer (mechanical) Livetocks / ceramic rings (biological) Lanthanum chloride solution (chemical) Customed build Calcium reactor to maintain Ca/kH. The main reef is a 3 by 2 by 1.5 footer SPS dominated system. The secondary is a 3 by 2 by 1 footer shallow mixed system comprising mainly of zoas, palys and non acroporids. And here are pictures of both setups.

Bro dingding brought up a excellent point regarding the flow dynamics in a reef system that will affect growth forms and indirectly create confusion with identification. Here's a example of a frag from a Montipora capriconis (plating and scrolling growth form) that decided to go encrusting when positioned in a very different setting.

Hi all, Trying my luck here... this goes out to any reefer with a non-working WP 40 wavemaker. I'm looking for the impeller. If you have one and would prefer a trade, please PM or watsapp me. Thanks
