I have been having difficulty taking pictures of the frags I am growing out due to the depth of the new frag tank. Luckily I remembered my trusty 180mm Sigma macro lens, I threw on an adapter and took some shots of the stuff growing out in my frag tank :). The system is working fantastic, I am getting great growth and colour.

Almost done the build, just gotta get some awesome frag racks for the frag tank. The system is starting to look really great and maintenance is at an all-time low. I also started auto dosing a few more things, NO3PO4x and copepods and rotifers. I dose 5ml every hour, and my corals are growing like crazy!

Wonderful news, after a couple consultations, I am the new live foods supplier (copepods and rotifers) for Ripley's Aquarium. I met with all the staff there and they gave me a tour of the facilities, their kitchen, and their live food hatchery. I am going to be supplying then with copepods and rotifers to feed their seahorses, jellies, and rear juveniles in their hatchery. They also plan to use it in their coral propagation system to grow out their corals. Was very interesting to see how meticulous everything is done there.
Pics I took of their seadragons:




Helped R20 with their shipment this week, pictures are here: http://www.gtaaquaria.com/forum/showthread.php?t=230914

I picked up some goodies :).

Dude that blue colony looks amazing!

Also what is that in the background in the second pic, behind the sea dragon? I don't recognize it.
