New pics & ora growth

[sdwrx]

Nothing too fancy... just some growth shots of some ORA frags I picked up from Brahm mid August. All the pictures were taken under AB 10k 250w with no actinics.

[MarLooney]

very nice. i saw these on RC... didn't realize it was you. good work dude. how bout a full shot... or just one w/ more than one coral.

[T. VO]

Wow, that's some serious growth. I'm jealous.

I took some more shots yesterday... here they are. It still looks a little bare. The tank has only been up for about 4 months.



For the first time I turned off the pumps and took some pics from above. Sorry for the glare from the halides, it was hard working around them. With some practice I should get some better pics.

[MarLooney]

now we see how you do it! your tank is damn near empty. those frags get to suck up all the calcium :D.

your milli's are beautiful. nice pics too. are you sure that's purple digi? looks more like their German Blue Polyp Digi if you ask me.

what's going on in the background?

looks like a nasty algae or something. :confused:

[sdwrx]

Marlo-Yeah, its a German Blue Polyp Digi! Always end up calling it a purple digi by accident since that's what color it really is!

Any idea what kind of algae that is? There are a few "tuffs" of this that have sprouted up. They are very strong but appear to be hollow in the middle--kind of like valonia is?? Not sure.

My fuge has been taking care of everything else! This is after I pruned about 40% lol
