Some tank and coral shots with a bit of macro

[Matt LeBaron]

So it occurred to me a couple of weeks ago that I hadn't taken any pictures of my tank in a while and my SPS colonies are finally getting to a good size now so I took some and thought I would share.

 

My tank newly setup after we moved into our new home in September of last year. (2012, if your reading this in the new year)

 

And then the tank this October a bit over a year later:

 

I added a bunch of frags over the year but you can see the green Milli poking out of the rock on the left in the first picture and how big it has gotten in the second. The pink Palys and my Pipe Organ coral have also both exploded. The Gorg has filled out a lot too.

 

That green Milli I was talking about above 3-19-2013:

 

And then it on 10-20-2013:

 

Couple of other Acros that I have, they're all small frags that I picked up over the year that are all growing well now:

 

And some of the macro shots I took, my first attempt at it and honestly I really should let my wife who went to college for photography do this stuff:

Bonsai:

 

Blue Milli:

 

Green Milli:

 

Red Planet:

 

Purple Clove Polyps:

 

Pipe Organ:

 

And just because I had a good shot of them and really love when I see them my gobies and pistol shrimp:

My daughter was kind enough to add the random "b" to the beginning of the topic of this post but it doesn't appear that I can change it now...

 

Ah well...

Wow that looks awesome! I really want a frag of those purple cloves

[Matt LeBaron]

I'm currently in the process of emptying out my frag tank for a redesign, after I get that done I'll make some frags and be giving them out. There's a thread for purple cloves in the SWAP forum that I will contribute how ever many frags of it I can make. Some of it is current growing up the glass on the back of my tank so I think that will be easier to peel off and get attached to frags.

 

Likely going to be a month or two though, still need to empty the frag tank, clean it out, get a new way to move water around it and put together a LED light for it. Thinking of seeing if I can find one of the Jebao 10's that should be out soon since the tank is just a 20G. Once that is all done I'll get frags made and make sure that the cloves are happy since attaching them to frag plugs can be difficult.

Those are OG cloves. I've had a frag of the same ones for almost a year and just within the last month they finally started reproducing. They are the best looking cloves I've ever seen.
