was browsing my old photos and dug out some coral's before & after photo!
tri-color valida, totally colorless with green polyps when i first bought it
now:
no one would believe it, but this smooth skin acro, turns out to be completely different as it grows :
as it grows, it starts to lose it's intense green coloration and gain a more blue-purplish hue and it tables!
now:
radioactive bird nest
now:
purple bonsai
now:
red millie
now:
mysterious teal bought brown, started to color up after a few weeks
Now :
teal millie :
now :
SSC 6 months ago :
now, how i wished it had grown as fast as the rest
pink hyacinthus
i have no idea why did it turn green
birds of paradise
now:
thats all for now!

Amazing coloration and growth!!! Keep documenting the sequence bro! Kudos to your dedication too!

thank you so much! i love to see the before and after and at times looking at the old pages and see how well this tank has progressed!

Very very stunning corals. I like how those brown or mysterious frags colour up to be something amazing. Keep up the good work bro!

thanks! i love that too! sometimes u get them hoping for something good and when they do turn out good the feeling is very satisfactory!

what a beautiful tank... very inspiring... hope my tank will grow up to be half as nice as yours

it surely will bro! mine is nowhere near many of the reefers here!

updates:
Been about a week since i added a 2-tube T5 to the system. i wanted a retrofit since they come with individual reflectors but due to family issue (they find them ugly!!) i have to get a slimmer and nicer looking fixture.
its a aquazonic 2x24w T5HO, running a D-D giesemann Actinic+ & an ATI coral plus tube. probably will have to replace every 6-7 months. mounted and hanged together with my Razor.

miyagi tort
cleaner wrasse, eating very well on frozen as well as my hand!

end this update with a FTS.
thanks for viewing!

I've always supported the idea of led + t5 hybrid. Its probably the best lighting system available. Though i do get good colors with the razor. I want to see if there will be even more improvment with the addition of t5s.
