Frogspawn
Leather coral
Blasto Coral

Thank you. I am so excited to get started with corals. They added life to my aquarium.

Yes I agree at first I just wanted fowlr but I added a few corals now I'm addicted haha I'm waiting for my uv sterlizer to come in now because my water is so green I can't see inside

Haha, I started my reef in a similar fashion. Original plan was for a fowlr and things snowballed from there.

Very nice corals there! I especially like the blasto's.

 

[MarinaClown]

Thanks. Blasto is very colorful. These corals are on a smaller side and I am excited to see them grow. Gotta put these LED lights to work.

What kind of filtration are u using and size of tank?

27 gallon cube by Marineland but based on its dimensions it's more like 31 gallon. 2218.

Filtration consists of 35 lbs of live rock and 40 lbs of live sand. Reef octopus BH 100 skimmer, Sicce Voyager 2 powerhead (800 gph) and DYI refugium.

Got any pics of the DIY refugium cuz I'm still undecided if to do a wet and dry or a refugium

Yup here it is. Hope this helps. Any questions let me know.

It's basically an mod of an Aquaclear 50 HOB filter. LED light.

And Purigen. Some people add live rock but I have plenty in my aquarium. If I had a longer and bigger refugium I would put Miracle Mud in there.
