Bubba's SPS Journey

Such nice examples of a great selection of acros. You have inadvertently helped me to decide to add a bit of t5 to my system.

Unfortunately I do not. It is about 12" down in the water and my t5's are 11" off the water. I do plan to buy a par meter in the near future, so maybe then I can tell you exactly what it is.

The balrog is about a 45 degree angle away from the light and you can see near the bottom part of it is green. That is the side away from the light. I am also getting better polyp extension on the underside, so maybe it's getting to much light.

Hmm.. I'm wondering because I have a frag, and the mother colony looked almost identical to Balrog. It was a frag off a wild/mari colony TGC got in. Mine has lost the peachy/pink colors and now mostly green and yellow. It's in 200-250 par, think it needs more light. Yours looks great though, wouldn't change a thing.

Your corals look great

Thanks!

Thank you! I do enjoy the t5's but I do wonder what they would look like under led.

I don't know if TKC gets his corals from the same as TGC. When he did send it to me, it just say "New Release" on the bag. He then told me they named it balrog. I am happy with how it looks so I will be leaving it as it is.

What kind of salt are you using ? Your acro's looks amazing

Thank you! I use plain instant ocean but I do not change water to often. I change maybe 20% every 4-6 weeks. I use a calcium reactor so I am hoping it takes care of some of the trace elements.

My Homewrecker went completely green on me after I got it. It is finally starting to get some pink back.

Don’t be jealous! Lol

Someone told me you’re gonna have some interesting updates on some fire you’re adding to the tank?? Hopefully we’ll get a look tomorrow!?

This past weekend at RAP I picked up a JF Jolt and a CC Bahama mama. Earlier in the week I grabbed a Rainbow infusion from TSA. So far I am not really impressed with the Jolt but we will see with time. I asked Jason about the polyp color of the Jolt and he told me they get brighter as it grows out, only time will tell.

That rainbow fusion looks like it should be a stunner

Mouth agape.

 

[jolt]

You finally got your Jolt! That's a nice sized frag too

 

[ReeferMadness80G]

Guys, I just talked to Bubba, he said if this post gets 20 likes he’ll share an FTS!

I finally got it but not impressed so far, lol.

I am hoping it turns out to be nice. The pic of theirs looks insane but you know how pics can be. I went to see it in person but they said they were having phosphate issues currently so it lost some of it's color. Just like the Jolt, I guess I will wait and see, lol.

LOL. Will be watching to see what it does in your tank

Did you get the Bahama Mama from Rudy Batara?
