Some sps shots in my humble setup

[DeepBlue]

These sps have been with me for more than a month or so....some turned brown...some regaining colour....

will continue to monitor.

under my 8 X Aquaz 39W T5s ( 6X 20KK and 2X actinic) ... 8 -10 hours a day

zeovit medium in bags......

the first is a cluster of them...

$10 stag from Iw***a...that has turned from brown to light baby blue with blue tip.....

[DeepBlue]

another piece with glowing tips.....though not in prime spot...but still growing well

[DeepBlue]

last piece.... turning brown poci but hoping once it aclimatised to my tank condition...will colour up....love this sps but yet to have true success with it.

a bit of the side kana my hammer... gone straight away

[DeepBlue]

LS....you may be right....I suspect its a tenius as well....

This from blue sign board shipment??

Nice!!!!

BTW, is it advisable to place birdnest in the path of a tunze?

(distance abt 1 ft away)

[DeepBlue]

You are right. That shipment....

Actually I liked the light pastal pink colour...but if it morph into the bundong pink....who'll complain

I placed the birdnest away from the tunze....it has a seio 820 blowing somewhere near it...I dun recommend anything near a tunze

[AlfaRomeo]

wow... very cool birdnest and 'tenuis'. Can tell that it will grow up to be a real gem of a specimen. *drool*

[DeepBlue]

hopefully. Coz I cant really add anymore sps(no space, no $$) ... going to stick to these and let them grow....save money too.

[AlfaRomeo]

But still can add LPS rite? hehehehe

[DeepBlue]

yup...acans and rics....if they come in....blastos too..I am always a blastos fan. But the price has to come down first...

Sure or not? Space can always be made.

[DeepBlue]

aiyah...last time buy new one...will push old ones aside or sell them....so didnt get to see them grow. so trying my best not to do that this time round. Further with 39W T5....I only dare place acros high up....dun dare to put them near the centre and lower part of the tank....so very very limited space only.

[AlfaRomeo]

DB, my tank is mostly full when it comes to SPS too (but can always make space if a GEM happens to come my way.. hehehe)

Now more into LPS but no luck with the gems so far.. My favourite is Favites... way cool in my opinion...

[andysho]

for me i already starting to add softies into my tank~~ think all sps

look very bored~~~~ was suprise that after adding one hammer

within one week it grow too fast~~ due to zeovit or wat..

i really no idea haha

[DeepBlue]

LPS??? to get nice LPS is super tough....many more reefers into LPS than SPS...so I have long given up the cheongster days of rushing for nice LPS.

For SPS....for the time being...just not keen to add anything...its a new tank... chances of they turning brown or losing intensity is quite high....so ...I am more on lookout for frags from bros here than buying nice nice wild colonies and risk having these gems brown out in my hands...

leaving the nice ones to you guys

[andysho]

i agree deepblue~~~ esp those fiji sps not easy to keep~~ esp those

light colour ones~~ once turn brown~~ hard to get the light colour back

always cant imagine if go for one holiday or reservist~~

what will happen to sps~~~

after one three week reservist can see the changes make to sps liao
