Pictures from a 340g reef tank

[Marc Levenson]

While I was over at Kevin's house tonight dropping off corals from Dallas Marine
and Fish Gallery, I shot a few pictures.

A fantastic Table Acropora. The polyp growth was incredibly dense, and the
color was excellent depending on perspective. From across the room, this acro
looked light blue. I think the polyps, once extended will be yellow-green.
This one was easily 6" across.

This is a blue tipped acro colony. It was about 4" across.

Here is one of his Pocillopora Damicornis, the fuzzy kind.

This is nicely encrusting the base, and may be a tri-color frag. Unfortunately,
the glass was very dirty and I couldn't get a clear shot.

This acro looks lush and thick, but I can't remember what Kevin called it.

And finally, all I can say is WOAH!!! And I'm definitely in line for the first
frag.... some day.

One last shot. Kevin's encrusting orange/red Montipora.

Kevin's tank hit 95F last summer, wiping out a lot of beautiful corals, but some
of the hardier things hung in there. I think they lost a few fish as well, but
they've got a couple of giant clams and a variety of other interesting things
that have recovered from that ordeal. Recently he replumbed it for better flow,
and added a protein skimmer. This is a 340g reef tank that can be viewed from
both sides, built into a room divider. A new sump and refugium will be going in
as soon as I get them done.
