Just got back from Robs Reef about an hour ago and have finally put my corals in the tank. I got a small bird nest frag, an acropora formosa frag, a super neon green Hydnopora and a squamosa clam. Rob has so many corals I couldn't believe it. Hes a real nice guy too. If you need anything I am sure you can just ask. I told him about talking reef and he seemed interested. Hopefully he will become a sponsor sometime as well. Anyways you can check out his site here www.robsreef.com He has way more corals than are listed on the website too! I will post some picks as soon as they become well acclimated.

Heres a couple of pics.

NEW CORALS FROM ROBSREEF.COM

http://www.talkingreef.com/forums/gallery/files/1/9/2/corals02p7.jpg

awesome, looks like a green and rose millepora, and a pocillipora..
both great additions.. they look nice.. :)

They are both doing great in my tank and have both let down their hair (got fuzzy hairs) .They are really nice looking corals.. My first Millies. I have a question about my Hydnophora in the foreground... Just how far should I keep these corals seperated from one another? can the hydnophora sting a coral adjacent to it without touching it? Just curious... I heard the Hydnophora are mean..

they do have a mean sting, but it involves contact.
i would give it a few inches of breathing room.
whats more important is make sure that no other frags "fall" on it, or vise-vera
i had the happen, and my hydnophora stung the heck outta one of my Montipora Caps

cool I will keep that in mind, I think they will be fine where they are at right now and the Hydno is on a rock that can easily be relocated if need be.

Just uploaded some more pics... Hope you like em. All corals kept under T-5'S 4x24W Tek fixture.

Some type of super green acro.tips of growth are yellow. its really pretty ..Yongi?? Big polyps.... Anyone have any idea? See the brown spots? That is a Hydnophora Coral burn... I have since relocated the Hydno and moved the emerald crab (bulldozer) into my sump.

8251Reefer,

Very pretty and they look like they are flourshing under your T5's. How deep is your tank?

My tank is a 37g oceanic, the tank is 21 inches high but I with the sand it is only 16-18 inched from waterline to sand, the SPS corals are between 4-7 inches from the lights. The lights sit almost right on top of the tank. I have some wood from lip to lip, fore/aft that I use to hold the lights up... It looks almost seemless. Glad you like the picks..

I'm debating about T5s for my 54 corner tank. I've got about 19 inches from sand to waterline. I only have 1 digitata frag, some zoos and some shrooms. Right now my digitata frag is about 4 inches below my PCs and seems to be happy but they are supposed to be a relatively lower light SPS.

my monti cap is 12 inches from the light & color is great...i have zoos on the sand (23 inches)...doing great....

ricordia is 20 inches down, i think the light might be a little strong for it....but i think it is starting to adjust, tho

nova extreme 432 watts over a 29" high tank

Thanks Wendy!
