My 90 Gallon display - FTS, corals pics

[cbrownfish]

I finally snapped a new FTS, first since April, and a few more shots of my corals. I have been playing with the exposure a bit more and it has helped me capture better shots of some of my stuff.


FTS....colors are a bit better in person but this is reasonably close --

Some Zoa garden shots --

Up close and personal with the Encrusting Gorgonian --

Galaxea --

Brain --

Wellsophyllia --

Purple Rimmed Cap (really need to prune this, considering it is less than 1/2" from growing out of the water) --

That is one great looking tank! I like what you've done with the GSP.

Amazing looking tank bro! I see all kinds of things I'd want frags from your tank

Thanks deaclauderdale and Al!

Al - before I come up that way, we can chat and make it well worth the trek.

Yeah, I saw a GSP "tree" in someone's tank one time so I decided to use some tonga branch and apoxy to make my own!

I completely missed the GSP tree! I have some Tonga stashed away in storage here I may try to find a piece and try that for myself! I LOVE that idea!!

CB you have a PM buddy!!

Al, here is an overhead shot of the GSP tree.

Sweet tank!!! I love the zoas and GSP. :drooool:

I started with a baseball sized rock and then used epoxy (lol @ apoxy in my first post) to secure a few pieces of tonga branch to it. Then I secured small frags of GSP in various spots with rubber bands. Nature took it's course and voila! Now I have to pull "dread locks" off the top of it 1-2X per month!

If I make one of a similar size in the future, I will probably use thinner pieces of tonga or acro skeletons. I underestimated how "thick" the branches would become when they were covered by the GSP. If someone has more real estate, they could create a larger footprint or even a much taller structure.

 

[BigAl07]

Wow! That's a VERY thick tree isn't it? I have some ideas now!!

Thanks bro!!
