Some infos: 100*66*60h (centimetrs) in all glass. Sump with a small refugia with Chaeto, live rock and sponges.
Lightining: 9x39 watt by HO T5 tubes

Great looking tank!!

By the way, how popular is reef keeping in Italy? I have a friend from the states that lives in Italy during the spring and summer who was somewhat interested in starting a frag tank in Tuscana.

VERY nice. Is this green one some type of Stylophora like catspaw?

 

[amashun]

The coral is most likely Seriatopora guttatus.

WOW, Thank you the pics!!!!!

Could you give us a few more of the specifics on your tank? Do you feed the coral?????

If that is a S. guttatus, I really hope that mine gets to looking like that in the future!!

Thanx again.

Colony were all small frags in july 2007.
Carbonate levels are very high but I have obtained the best growth with the change of light, from halide bulbs to T5 tubes.
Sometime dosing "pappone"

I have always thought that it was Seriatopora caliendrum, in facts it's differnt from other colony on the top/left.
Can you classify this Acropora?
This is my Acropora shot from the top. I think Acropora rosaria.
Thanks.

looks awesome, good work!

many thanks to all

Hello,
Although they can have very similar growth the distinct contrasting polyp colour is most often attributed to S. guttatus.

Here is a picture of S. caliendrum.

I think your guess on the Acropora may be correct.

Cheers,
Kevin
