A few of my SPS growth pics

sufunk · #1 07/30/2007, 05:27 PM

I was going thru my old pics and found a few. I didn't take alot because i didn't know how to use my camera and most of these were my neighbors camera.

Anyways this is my 1st time with sps and they seem to be doing well. You can see the dates on the pics. Any comments are appreciated!

Green acro just after i got it

a few months later after having red bugs and very little growth

Today, fully recovered from the red bugs and happy again

Unknown yellow acro. This is about 4-5 weeks after i got it. When i 1st got it, there was no growth just an encrusted mat on the plug

Today, seemingly happy and growing

Thanks for the responses!

Being new at sps, it seems like my growth is decent. Not great but not bad so i'll take it. Here's another.

Orange cap about 8 weeks after i got it

tell us your husbandry.

I have 3x150w metal halides with 14k phoenix bulbs(and 4x96w pc's). 2 Tunze 6000's with a multi controller and a asm g3 skimmer.

I don't dose anything in the tank. I have kalk to drip but every time i test my calcium it is 450-470

I use natural sea water from my lfs and have miracle mud in the sump but can't really figure out why my calcium stays so high. I thought it was my test kit but went and bought a sera test kit and it came out the same. I then got a salifert kit and still 460???

I do 20-25% water changes about every 3-5 weeks.

Anything i left out?

Thank you!

I feel like an idiot for not taking pics of every frag i bought and their growth. My camera stunk, so i just never really bothered. Kicking myself now though for not at least trying.

Oh well, heres the last one that i have. Not the clearest pics but you can see from the plug the growth that it has had.

Great growth for 8 weeks +... hard to keep a Monti down!
