the hell is that coral in the third pic? I see blasto, zoo's, acan and bubble but whats the other thing?

 

[ace1204]

Looks awesome man

 

[james s_]

That looks great! I love the look of the lights. Which lamps are you using?

 

[chemically_balanced]

Very Clean. Looks great. You weren't kidding about that skimmer.

 

[derek_s]

That is the DUncan from Hades. I feed it insanely, and it is easily my fastest growing coral. Started as 1 head maybe 2 months ago. Now has 2 big ones, 2 little ones, and looks like 2 more coming.

Lhis is the current lamp config:
Front
ATI Blue Plus
ATI Aquablue
UVL Aquasun
ATI Blue Plus
UVL 75/25
UVL Aquasun
ATI Blue Plus
ATI Aquablue

Yeah, it is working well, and it is fed off the drain. It was actually overflowing a little in that pic. I'm still playing with it some, but it seems to skim great. Thanks for it, BTW. Great deal.

Oh, and note the 54 lb CO2 tank in the back. It holds 20 lbs of CO2 (courtest of my dad's paintball store). Shouldnt need CO2 for like 4 years..hehehe...

How's the new probe holder working out for you in the Ca reactor? Oh, and I wouldn't run that reactor below 6.7. Any lower and your media will start turning into mud. If you have really high calcium demands, you can take it down to 6.5, 6.6. I wouldn't run 6.3.

Danny, it's flawless. I relly just got this thing hooked up this morning, but I love the sleek look and it is performing well. I guess I forgot to include that in my equipment list. It is a CR2 dual with spraybar and probeholder.

Hey, just hit 1k posts. Woot.

 

[enderg60]

wow thats a big duncan then. Keep feeding it!

 

[derek_s]

Thanks. It is super hearty too. Seems too do well in any light condition, but has much better color for me in lower light, especially under t5's.

Looks nice man. Great job on the canopy, nice and sleek.
