Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build
I cheated and used rocks from my 3 year old 125 to seed the tank from the start. I got a head start

Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build
So, I snagged me a few cool SPS corals yesterday. They are both acros, but one is an actual colony, an off-white one with pinkish purple tips. The other one is browned out cuz it wasn't under good light. I hope it colors up. I never know what to look for in an SPS coral to know if it is healthy. I will try to post pics when I can. I have a few meetings and junk to do tonight, as well as a water change.
I am currently doing some re-arranging (what a shock) and I will post a FTS when I am done and the water clears, probably not til tomorrow. -Doc Current Aquarium(s) Description: 210 gal "Shark Reef" With Angelfish and 90 gal reef tank Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: long enough to know I have a lot to learn

Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build
I like how that acro is branched out.Looks great Doc.
It'll be hard to figure out what kind of acro it is,untill it colors back up.

Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build
I guess the one on the right is supposed to turn red. I have no idea which is which or what to expect. Yote, I know you like to acclimate them on the bottom of the tank and slowly work their way up in height. Both of these pieces were under halides (old bulb and only 150 watt bulbs) at the top of the rocks, so I am hoping that they are used to stronger light.

He has an Acan Lord that I want, but it is on consignment from some other guy and it is $300, but it is such a cool piece. I am trying to wheel and deal. Although, if I win big in Vegas this week, no questions asked, it is MINE. Here are some full tank shots after moving rocks and corals around. Hope you like them -Doc   Current Aquarium(s) Description: 210 gal "Shark Reef" With Angelfish and 90 gal reef tank Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: long enough to know I have a lot to learn
