puttputt Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Bit of a update, and some photos. Tanks going well, coraline growing well, still a bit of algae and cyno about, but keeps diminishing, month to month. Tends to coat some of the coraline at times, but tangs love it and its slowly going. Calcium and Alk being sucked out of water at an ever increasing rate, dosing as well as having cal Rx cranked up to full - awaiting big mutha aquamedic reactor!!. Corals doing very well, surprisingly well, acros growing alot, and colours just keep getting better. Now some pics, not great pics but you'll get the idea..... A green acro, doubled in size and you can see it encrusting the rock.. This is a hynophora frag Kevin gave me a few months back, it's gone berserk, and is the size of a large grapefruit This one is an incredible colour, that I just can't get the vcamera to reproduce, the top down shot later on gives a better idea, Its growing fast, and colour continues to surprise me. This was a smal bown coral purchased a couple of months ago, The big clam, going crazy with growth and colour.. Couple of end shots.... and front and a flash shot of flash himself and some nice top down shots.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one mutha of a clam alright, Have you grown it up from a youngster or?..... You mean the limestone slabs I used as reef support??? If so it was always just a matter of time before they looked like the rest. The clam started as a baby about 70mm long Thanks for your comments all, it's got a way to go yet, but is slowly maturing nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markoshark Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 I reckon he should put a plastic scuba diver in it! Classy! Yup, definately needs one of those plastic scuba divers, and one of those chests full of gold doubloons. Love the clam I see your going to need to start trimming acros already!? Green Stag? on the RHS looks impressive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Green Stag? on the RHS looks impressive That is the parent (great grandparent, actually), of that biddy little frag you got Marko, the one I said last night will end up the biggest coral in your tank!
