Top Down Pictures from my reef

Rate this Entry
I wanted to share some pictures I snapped with my new Top Down Photo Box that I picked up at Macna this year. Overall the tank is doing nicely. I have zero algae on the rock work, And I only have to clean the glass weekly. I notice coral growth on most of them daily. I am still not running my calcium reactor be cause my calcium and alkalinity are not being used up yet with so few corals in the system. Sit Back and Enjoy

This one seems to be a slow grower



This one is doing great, you can even see it is spreading and encrusting on the other rock



As you can tell from the bottom of this pick, this meteor shower is working



One of the few corals that made the temp storage and transfer to the new tank.



I decided I needed a clam and picked this up right after Macna



This Candy Cane seems to be happy



This coral is making a huge come back after near death in the temp setup



Here is another one that was nearly gone





This guy was butchered by the fragger and is nearly healed up, every day the polyps seam more complete



Well, that is all I got for October. Hopefully I will have some new additions to share next month.

    One day it just popped up, near as I can tell or know, a polyp dropped off and started growing. As you can tell it has like 4 polyps now.

    Thanks for sharing your pictures. I've not really been inclined to take pictures of my reef from above due to the massive centerbrace blocking 1/3 of the tank. Regarding your corals, the one you called Meteor Shower (Cyphastrea) is in fact a Favia (called War Coral usually) and I like the new puddle down below taking hold.

    The one that you nearly lost is going to be gorgeous. Not positive what it is yet, but it reminds me of some treasure. Maybe A loripes? And the other one you nearly lost looks like a great piece of coral DNA as well.

    Love the new clam! I got one too, as you know. It's living in my frag tank for the time being.

    Awesome pictures. So good to seem them growing and spreading after the move. I'm going to have to add a top down box to my wish list now.
