SS Silv Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 (edited) Here are some pics of my SW aquarium. I specialize in SPS coral, which are the most colorful, rare and most expensive corals available. Most of the SPS corals in my tank are small but they will grow into large colonies. An average SPS coral in my tank costs about 50$ for a small peice. I have atleast 20 SPS corals. It is depressing to total the amount of money that I have invested in this tank, but it is sooo rewarding. The colors and details of these corals are amazing.

BILLS04SS Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I can personally relate to the different corals you have in your tank as I have had the exact setup in years past. I had to sell my 320 gallon reef tank setup due to a divorce and I miss it terribly. What type of wet/dry setup are you using in your sump? are you making your own RO water? ok I'll stop with the questions, but you have a nice looking setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tank is a 55 gallon which will be upgraded to a 125 when I move. Currently, I have a 20 gallon sump with a Euro Reef Skimmer (bad ass) I use Reef Crystals salt and I have a 7 stage RO/DI which produces 0 TDS. I will be adding a calcium reactor when I upgrade to the 125, but for now I am dosing kalk water and 2 part calcium and alkalinity. All of my SPS are from ORA corals (top notch) if you don't know who ORA is. Edited January 25, 2009 by SS Silv (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoTToN Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Wow that looks killer! What kind of lighting do you have in there to be able to grow all of those? And I got all excited throwing my first Coral in today.. But then again my tank is pretty bare.. BTW your shots look 200% better than mine, what settings do you use on your camera?

I have T5 lighting. As for the camera, this all depends on which camera you have. I use a Panasonic with a lumix lense. There are too many variables when it comes to taking pictures. There isn't just one setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
