yellowtang Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 Sps beauties , thanks to JoeP. You just need to see him for gems. Cheers YT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowtang Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Side View. Wish I have a bigger tank to begin with. Hope tt I can inspired more to take up a mixed Sps/Lps, hard/soft corals, with plentiful fishes swimming in a 2.5 ft deep tank. A deep tank enables you to plant different corals down the depth as opposed to the newly favourite shallow tank. Cheers, bigmike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member james72 Posted March 3, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted March 3, 2013 Deep tank = skilled reefer with deeper pockets. Hehe! Need more flow, need strong lights, need long hands......but you get more water volume, more space to plant your corals. Mike, love your sps deep colours looks as compare to some lower nutrients pale sps looks. Is it true that "higher nutrients" tank sps have deeper colours? How often, how much do you feed your fishes?

Mike, love your sps deep colours looks as compare to some lower nutrients pale sps looks. Is it true that "higher nutrients" tank sps have deeper colours? How often, how much do you feed your fishes? Set the records straight. Deep tank and deep pockets are not related. Not long hands but higher stool certainly helps. More flow, definitely yes. I use 3mp40 + 2 smaller tunze. Try to leave the a big portion at the bottom free, only white sand, for the fishes to swim freely. A joy to watch. IMHO, a ulns will deliberately deprived the Sps of food. Then you feed them with specially prepared nutrients to get the colors. In short, the colors are mot their colors but obtained by chemicals fed. A natural system with low nutrient allows the Sps to display its natural colors according to its genes. A natural system takes time to get it right. Maybe 2 years before one see success. I have DSB sump and have 2" sand bed on the main. I just love it to be more natural looking. Different soup from different cook.

SRC Member james72 Posted March 3, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted March 3, 2013 My deep pockets meaning electricity consumption due to light & flow. Agreed with you, natural system definitely look more attractive. Anyway to speed up the time with help from technology?

yellowtang Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 <br />This 500 Efflo was spotted by a very enthusiast reefer, who was kind ennuf to release it me. Still a baby though, and its a long long way to go before coloring up.<br /><br />My old pink stylo, color more intensed with age.<br /><br />My Banana , looking good , but not growing, typical of deep water coral.<br /><br />Everyone luvs this Lokani. You know why.<br /><br />Clam junior. A gift from King Louis.<br />Lastly, and a coral right at the bottom of my tank, away from the limelight, an efflorescent green candy cane. What radiant, what a simple gem.<br /><br />Cheers<br />bigmike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
