Thanks! But can't say I am thrilled with the colors yet. Most of the corals (SPS) either started out brown or are browning out even though I do notice some growth. I suspect its probably due to the

A video update of my rather colorless reef tank:

Currently, mostly dominated by softies and some LPS. Lost several SPS a few months back while I was away and nutrients and parameters seem to go a bit haywire. Current SPS corals still not looking too good. Also started Polyp-lab reef resh after hearing good reviews about it, and still monitoring the condition of the tank.

Looks like your sps is doing well .<br /><br />Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

<br /><br />Only recent frags seem to be doing ok so far. Hopefully this trend persists.

<br />Hi Bro, sorry to hijack your thread.<br /> <br />Can i know what are the 2 corals in your pic?<br /> <br />Many Thanks!
<br /><br />Think the green one is a sunset millepora. Can't remember what's the reddish looking one - it's beena while back. :)

Downloaded a new camera app on iPhone and decided to test it on some shots of the tank.<br /><br />Forest fire digi frag from bro Kaijuworld<br />post-2395-13695646878442_thumb.jpg<br /><br />Mostly frags...<br />post-2395-13695647507898_thumb.jpg<br /><br />Some zoas...<br />post-2395-13695648015003_thumb.jpg<br /><br />Zoa frags ...<br />post-2395-13695648262735_thumb.jpg<br /><br />FTS (without fish)...<br />post-2395-13695648688943_thumb.jpg<br /><br />Anyways, this app is called cortex cam and it takes dozens of shots in a couple of secs to obtain a virtually noiseless, crisp photo. Pretty impressive! Though things that move too much like fishes will end up just some faint blur streaks. Good for taking photos of coral close up using iPhone in my opinion.

Very sweet scraping. Love it man. Hope u don't mind if I get ideas from you for my new tank and hope it'll look half as good as yours

<br /><br />Haha! Very simple scaping actually. I'm sure your comeback tank will look much better! I'm looking forward to see your updates of your tank!
