gioNVA March 20, 2008 March 20, 2008 I've been meaning to do a tank thread but have never gotten around to posting photos. The tank is a 156g Oceanic with a 40g sump.

gioNVA March 20, 2008 Author March 20, 2008 Thanks guys. I'm still battling some red turf algae but it's getting better. More photos: Tyree Tricolor: Eagle Eyes (huge polyps): Yellow/Purple tip: Pink w/ Blue tip milli: Green/Orange Polyp digitata: Ora green birdsnest:
ReeferMan March 20, 2008 March 20, 2008 Nice Francis! Is that yellow with purple tip the one you got from me?
gioNVA March 20, 2008 Author March 20, 2008 Nice Francis! Is that yellow with purple tip the one you got from me? I'm not sure where I got that one. The one I got from you looks like a purple bonsai.
Ziggy953 March 21, 2008 March 21, 2008 Very nice!! I want some of that Tyree Tricolor! It is awesome!!!!
gioNVA March 23, 2008 Author March 23, 2008 Thanks guys. I'll try to keep this updated. Good to see you around the boards Eric. Hope all is well.

Smoothtriqueter November 2, 2008 November 2, 2008 Very nice setup! I had a chance to see this in person today and it is breathtaking! Thanks for the RBTA it is looking great and settling in. We managed to get most of the starfish off before putting it all in. You should post another FTS so people can see how amazing it looks now! Thakns again -Smooth
gioNVA December 11, 2008 Author December 11, 2008 updated FTS taken late Sep 2008 *I think* The right side is a little dimmer because of different bulbs. I'm using 400W Icecap ballasts. Left side is running Reeflux 12K and 20k Radium on the right side. Photo is a little bluer in the photo but pretty close to the actual color.
zoozilla December 11, 2008 December 11, 2008 (edited) Francis... Now that's what i'm talking about... Edited December 11, 2008 by zoozilla
jamesbuf December 11, 2008 December 11, 2008 Looking good. I'd love to see you switch the bulbs around, so we can compare the colors of the corals between the different bulbs.
Antiguan December 12, 2008 December 12, 2008 This is so TOTM! TOTM quality indeed. I hope to see this in person one day since you're close by.
gioNVA December 12, 2008 Author December 12, 2008 Thanks guys! Not TOTM quality yet. I've been battling majanos. I've removed about 100 so far and there's probably another 100 in there.
