[Varga]

yeah that's my torch, it's purple because that's the color it has, why the question?

I've never seen a purple torch coral before. Where did you get that awesome thing?

 

[Miltonic]

Wow never thought purple was a rare color, I got it from a local reefer/vendor I can pretty much get anything from him at very low price

 

[BarbMazz]

I think I'll give this month a try.

Here's one of my happy little RBTAs, in a real closeup.

[Reefmack]

Awesome pic Barb. But do Nems count as coral?

They were listed in the starting "rules"

"October's contest theme will be "corals (LPS, SPS, Soft) and anemones"!

 

[BarbMazz]

Yes, Varga, in this case they count, but not as corals!

MAN O MAN ya`ll got some awesome things growing in your tanks, when I look at those pictures I wanna go and get a huge tank and related equipment and get started on a reef tank, but for now I`ll just sit here and drool over ya`lls tanks and learn alot more about reef systems,and for now be happy just establishing my FOWLR tank
is there a vote for "all of the above?" lol

 

[jnohs]

hay man a clean and properly set up fowlr is a great start for a reef tank. Keep it a fowlr for now, when buying equipment keep i mind the future reef. Then after you have all the proper equipment make the switch.

this is a list of what i think are necessities for a reef tank...

standard tank with built in overflow(s) 24-36-48 inches (easier to buy lights,hoods and stands for these tanks)
Sump W/ return pump (any small plain tank will work)
pc lighting or better(I bought 3 hagen t5ho fixtures for my tank one at a time. Witch makes it easier on the wallet)
salt, hydrometer, thermometer
protein skimmer
chiller (not truly a Necessity but the stability it gives works wonders for the tank.
