August 2002 - Picture taken with a Nikon Coolpix 950 Digital Camera, No Flash.

Here is the tank after 2 months of using the AB Aquaspace light. You can see how many of the coral colors have gotten more intense.


August 2002 - Picture taken with a Nikon Coolpix 950 Digital Camera, No Flash.

This is the first picture I've taken with the new AB Aquaspace Lighting system which is made up of three 250w 13kk DE HQI bulbs and four 24w Power Compact Actinincs. To my eyes the tank looks brighter or at least as bright as the older 400w lighting system. And I no longer have the dark spot in the center of the tank.

The tank is really starting to look pretty. Most of the LPS corals mature and very large. IN fact all the corals are so large it makes the fish look small. This is the first full tank picture using only 400w Ushio 10,000k lamps with no actincs. All previous pictures were based on 250w Iwasaki 6,500k lamps and most of them are with Actininc.


November 2001 - This is a composite of two pictures merged together from a Nikon Coolpix 950 Digital Camera, No Flash.

This picture reflect my war on soft corals and mushrooms based on the areas of rock that have been reclaimed. I haven't allowed the corals to grow out much. I've been fragging them pretty heavily and selling off frags to help pay for lighting upgrades and equipment. The tank return lines were redesigned and no longer stick so far into the tank.


August 2000 - This is a composite of two pictures merged together from a Nikon Coolpix 950 Digital Camera, No Flash.

So much has changed since the last complete tank shot. Most of the small cuttings and frags are now nice sized colonies, biggest one you can see is the Colt colony on the size has gotten very large. The anemone on the far right is much smaller. It hasn't inflated very much since its last spawned.


January 2000 - This is a composite of two pictures merged together from a Nikon Coolpix 950 Digital Camera, No Flash.

No new fish since last picture. 4 new SPS frags added to tank in upper right corner. The Knobby Sea Rod Gorgonian was moved to the center more to make room for the new frags.
