Lemon's butterflyfish dominated reef

[MarcoVan]

after i change my bulbs to 12k, it's impossible to take photos. all come out so blue.

i like the front better oso. v hard to scape 3 sided square tank.

softies nice but the SPS need to grow faster to keep up!

Agree! I think your SPS too puny for the tank! Softies are like HUGE!

But still got the natural tinge to the tank hehe (:

what's the huge softie on the left? (:

Lovely, as usual.

Issit your camera setting? But the blue stag seemed to have lost a little blue?

[Eniram]

Wow! Fishes you have there. I see the watanabe angels are Beau...ti....ful! Nice!

stag still blue, but yes, not as blue as it used to be.

this one attributed to my rather high fish load i guess :0 or maybe light placement.

but for me, SPS's colour is not priority. i can never achieve colour because of my fishes and my negligence.

so healthy, + growing + NOT BROWN = happy lemon

Actually it's just a very slight colour change isn't it? Still doing very well.

Right side need more corals. If u have trouble maintaining blue color sps but not other colors maybe get a potassium testkit, could be low on that aspect.

Yes juz slight change. Not as intense, but not brown.

AHHAHAHA That's a good one!!!! I SECOND THAT!

For me, SPS .. only free ones then I put in cause I know my water parameters will NEVER be able to sustain expensive ones.. hopefully this time around can sustain the LPS and zoos I intend to keep.

and oh yes, I LOVE THE GIANT FLUFFIES!

took some top down shots today

Lime green millie. polyp extension is crazy.

[yikai]

This piece manage to retain 80% of it's colour. and growing many new tips!

[yikai]

This one faded alot!

when i first got it, it was purplish blue. but now it faded to a light lavender colour with abit of brown. blue is still slightly kept in the tips. more blue when seen from side.

no worries, i love this piece as it breaks the shape of my scape.

[yikai]

one of the 2 clams that i have.

only maximas manage to live in my tank. croceas just get eaten by my butterflies.

[yikai]

my one of 2 hammer corals. grow so big already it's scary. btw, this is only 1/3 of the whole hammer!

pardon the reflection from the MH.

so hard taking top down shots.

[yikai]

xenia.

one of the 3 i have.

they are growing very well and pulse pretty well too. first time success. never had success in my old tank. they just die after awhile.

probably need strong lights and fast currents.

[yikai]

my other clam

next to my orange octo.

[yikai]

2 of 4 carribean rock anemones.

the other 2 are orange and red with black/white stripes. (not shown)

[yikai]

1 of 5 green nepthea i have.

this one is the longest resident.

[yikai]

One of my all time fav fish.

skimming just beneath the water's surface

[yikai]

watanabe angel.

showfish of my tank.

[yikai]

my fish are all very tame and fearless.

they allow you to hand catch them if you cradle them slowly.

here they are being hand fed like spoilt pigs.

[yikai]

my roseafascia fairy.

big and fat! grow faster buddy!

[yikai]

FTS (Full top shot) ahaha.

look so blue pardon. the 12k bulbs from top down very blarring. so is the reflection.

i like a frontal FTS more. the top down looks ugly.
