Brandon's IM Nuvo 40 SPS Reef

[code4]

Good catch! Yes I can go back and see if I can label them with the names that I know and I’ll leave the rest open for the ID gurus to weigh in on ;Hilarious

Are there any in particular you wanted more info on?

2nd photo has a beautiful one in the center and one to its left. Both are bright pinks/orange. The one in the 6th photo, and which monti is that? Just getting my indoor garden going and looking for ideas. You gave them to me in spades! I wish I could just go to a reef store and buy them!

Thanks

The second photo is mostly just the Bubblegum Digitata with the seasons greetings Monti below it. If you mean the third picture the orange one is an orange Setosa and the pink one is a pink birdsnests. The sixth picture is also the montipora Setosa.

Happy Top Down Tuesday!

This purple acro is from a larger colony I bought at least 8 years ago. Lost almost the whole thing during Irma but one frag survived! So happy to see it taking off again!

Thanks so much for the names. I am very glad you managed to save the purple one. Just beautiful.

Very nice tank. I have an SPS dominant tank, running out of room.
Im just down the road in Stuart, would love to talk reef sometime locally.
Ive gotten into the high end SPS, taking a few years of patiently growing out
the colonies. Love our fishing on the Treasure Coast!!!

IMPRESSIVE tank especially w/out a sump!!!!!

Thank you! Stuart is great, I used to go down there a lot before the pandemic. And yes fishing here is amazing (although I dont have much time to do it anymore lol). I know the feeling of running out of room but I guess it means we are doing something right! I don’t know anybody who reefs funnily enough! Glad you like the tank and yes I miss the days of having a sump! ;Hilarious

Absolutely beautiful! Wow looks awesome. Can you please if possible take a front picture of the tank. I would love to see how it looks completely with the lights. RESPECT

I love the look of canopy tops also, but with a lot of the newer style rimless tanks I have been afraid to add the weight of a canopy to it

Same! I checked with IM before I added the canopy and they said it should be all good the way I built it. Next tank will not be rimless for sure because I want a taller canopy! ;Hilarious

Anti-sync reef crest at around 40-50% (I just have the controllers so that’s just based on where the dots light up lol)

Awesome tank, just like your others! Your skills are definitely to be respected! Great job!
