180 gallon update!!!

[william1]

Its been a little while since I have posted any pictures on the boards since I first set up the 180. So being bored this morning I took a few shots of the tank with the atinics on. Just some random photos. Im still fighting some hair algea, but all in all everything is going great.

Tanks looks great. Post some pics with full lighting when you get a chance. Would love to see some of the colors.
I assume pic 9 of 11 is an Acropora Efflorescens (Tyree $5oo Efflo)? May be a silly question, but how did you get it to leave the plug? Mine encrusted the entire plug and has started to creep onto the adjacent rock, but refuses to grow "up" as yours has done.

It is an Efflo. My frag was rather large and was taken from a full size edge of a mother colony. Since I have had it most growth has been it encrusting the frag plug.

Heres the original frag about two weeks after I got it. It started to encrust the plug right away.

Mine came as a tiny bit of crust on a frag, without the vertical growth like yours. All I have seen so far is horizontal growth, but I think I am starting to see a little hint of vertical.

Ok here are a few more pics for everyone. Daylights are now on.

Oh man dont worry its a very fast grower and should start raising off the plug soon.

But the favorite definitely has to be your millies

The trigger is settling in nicely. By far the millies are my most favorite.

Lookin good man! I need to get another piece of efflo one of these days. I had two and sold them back when I thought I was moving....sigh.

 

[glxtrix]

Still lovin the gigas too....Mine has doubled in size since I got it....still very small though. Can't wait till it's that size!

 

[smoothie]

Everything looks great man. Thanks for the updates

 

[claudiasmom]

I think something is wrong with your millies. The polyp extension is poor!
Kidding. It actually looks like Jeremy's back!!!
