I think you should enter the black snowflake pic for pic of the month. Gorgeous! What kind of nem is that? |
Thanks. I may as well submit it...done :) I'm not sure on the nem. It is mostly white with blue dots on the underside (I believe the spots place it in the Stichodactylidae family) and a yellow glow under actinic type lighting.

Almost I ran the vegas but, these lights are the Gen1 radion. In the first tank shots with the lights I don't have any coral in. To be more clear, I should have made two posts. One showing the lights. Then one talking about my light settings. I didn't put any of my frags in the display until after the lights were in place. The first pieces in were some zoas, birds nest, and an acro I don't know the name of. All from the Jan frag swap.

The ORA site lists them as black snowflakes but I like Phantom much better :)

Yeah I was looking at that also. I guess it depends on what site you look at but they look the same.

ORA produces Black snowflakes
Sea And Reef produces Phantoms
Each produced their own color morph, Both very similar in color.

Weekend to do list...that probably won't happen due to too much scheduled scuba Maybe next week
-Frag tank to be plumbed into the display and water change. -Probably move the sump out to the garage while I am at it. I think this will put total system volume at a bit over 300g -Carbon & GFO reactors are NextReef MR1 -Calcium reactor is a reverse flow CR622

Looking Great John. I need to see it some time. Have you noticed a difference now that you have added a reactor?

Thanks, you are welcome to come by anytime but I've got nothing going on that compares to what you have. Things are a lot more stable with the reactor. Numbers are steady and I don't have to worry about dosing anything so I love that! Though I don't have much SPS at this this so I only run the reactor/CO2 for about 5 hours a day. (2 hours in the morning and 3 in the afternoon) One of my goals is to be able to safely (over)stock pretty fishes and still maintain a clean system for corals. From the start I knew that I'd need it to be automated whenever possible given how busy our house is. The reactor definitely aides in this mission so I'm glad to have it in place.
