Bennett’s 57G Rimless

Vortech is something in the future I hope. I can't really afford to spend that much on pumps as of right now.

What causes color to shift? Is it the lighting? I can't remember who I got this frag from, it was from a swap. When I first got it, it was a really awesome green color. Now it's almost all purple. I miss the green color on this piece.

Pretty good shots I say

It has been a while since I last updated. My point and shoot camera broke so my wife bought me a Canon T3i over the weekend. Now I can post pics. Corals have not really grown too much since the last update. I was having some flow issues a for a few months. I was running two Koralia 2 for the past 3 months and finally realize that there was not enough flow. Polyps on the SPS were closed. Colors were getting dull, I was not sure if this was a flow issue. I am now running 1 MP40 and 1 Koralia 750. Things are looking a little better. I am starting to get white growth tips and polyp extension.

Update FTS:

Very nice! That's the tank I've wanted to get for a while but every time I catch one at the right price someone snatches it up first so I'm a little jealous right now

"sticks" look very good! Dorey is getting big. has she broken anything yet? ,)

I think they're pretty easy to find. I think you can get one from any of the Bay Area LFS.

Yeah, he got twice as big since I acquired him. Never broke any sticks. It might be time for an upgrade soon.

Looks great man. Glad to see you got an MP40 in there

I can buy one new right now but with 2 teenagers rarely have the luxury to pay retail

Look great Bennett! Yes, it's time for an upgrade

 

[melly mel]

Very Nice!

 

[Apon]

nice- you don't want to show your tank on the sf tour?

 

[bee505]

Thanks for the nice comments. It's nothing worth looking at compared to all of the tanks that are being shown in the tank tour.

 

[sfsuphysics]

HA! Don't sell yourself short, my SPS tank isn't doing so hot (chasing magnesium around and all that rot)

 

[Apon]

my tank isn't looking so good on sps either.

 

[sfboarders]

Nice tank Bennett! Corals look like they're growing too me.

 

[650-IS350]

Looking nice.

 

[newhobby]

Tank looks great! Choice coral placement and a really balanced look overall.

 

[bee505]

Thanks for all the generous comments. I'll try to update this more frequently.
