Full-SPS Shallow

[Soul]

Very neat and thoughtful setup, are both tanks sharing 1 skimmer? I especially like the scaping of the smaller tank.

[cedricang]

It doesnt really matter if the frags are small, actually those who has grown their sps colony from frags have shared with me that they find the growth form will adapt naturally with the lightings and flow of the tank, in the long run, much better and nicer looking than big colony from the wild.

What's most important is the application of right husbandary and patient

hey bro, thanks for sharing the nori with me, and learnt a great deal from ur dad n u, u guys rock! seriously!

If SPS has another place to call home other than the natural sea, it's here with Vincent and dad, their sps clearly enjoys their husbandry and concept; the polyps looks like a sexy woman's long hair swimming and flowing freely in the waters.

[Eniram]

Vincent what are the light tubes that you are using and the placement?

please bro Eniram, my tank is far cry from that.. dun give me too big a hat.

regarding mine and my dad's light tube placement i would need to go home to check because i can't remember offhand, now staying in school..

but i do remember the number of tubes:

mine: 4 blueplus 3 aquabluespecial 1 true actinic

dad's: 6 blueplus 2 aquabluespecial

No problems on the light combo, take your time. Read on RC alot of reefers use a 50-50 tube distribution, meaning 8 tube fixtures, 4 blueplus 4 aquabluespecial. Don't get me wrong i'm just looking at the popularity on the combo and the effects it has on coral growth and colorations

no worries bro.. actually personally i think a 50-50 is too whitish, and it gets slightly yellowish when ur tubes are old.. i tend to use more blues, to enhance colourations in SPS.. whites have greater PAR values, and promotes more growth.. but i'm more of a 'colours' guy.. some of those in RC who uses more blue tubes actually have nicer SPS colourations, from what i FEEL.. just a personal thought..

my Achilles Tang, currently the only resident in my tank.. still has ich even after so many months..

[ranchuboy]

Hi Vincent, both tanks have very well designed rock scape. All your sps frags are growing very well with good polyp extensions. Fantastic father and son team. Your AT's ich will eventually disappear with good water condition. My Powder Blue Tang, after more than a year still have a couple of ich spots every now and then. I am sure you are aware your AT will not allow you to add anymore new Tangs (haha, I will gladly trade-in all my Tangs for one surviving AT). In terms of agression, AT and Powder Blue Tang rank right at the top.

Once again, well done

Looking forward to more updates from you.

[desideria]

Hey your AT looks beautiful... and from the pics I can hardly see any ich!!! It's so pretttyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Eniram]

Thanks for the light combo vincent.

[Ketchup]

Love the SPS... especially the chili pepper...

[cedricang]

Eventhough the sps are just frags, by looking at the picture is already an enjoyment... because they all look so healthy and colourful, cant imagine if they grow up to colony size
