That's too funny.

I'm actually in the process of doing the exact opposite :) Recently, I have been running 4 x 250 watt XM 10k on PFO-HQI ballasts with 4 URI VHO actinics as supplementation, and now I switched to...

Salifert replies for KH/Alk kit problems?

My old Salifert test kit does not agree with my new Salifert test kit which I purchased in September (8.3 dKH versus 10.6 dKH), and I just finished reading that this appears to have been a common...

Greg - The pictures came through, and I'd say that's another vote in support of "Valida". The trick now is to uncover what makes a "Valida" go pure deep purple :confused:

Ayep! I think we have a winner. Where did you get yours Jose?
Perhaps a "Valida" as sold in the hobby produces siginificant color variation and sometimes has axial tubular corallites as well.

Thin branch purple acro.

I would like to replace a colony that I lost last year, but suddenly I'm realizing what I had may have been somewhat uncommon. I am fairly certain it was not Acropora Nana or Valida as the growth...

Got Blue Ric PICS? I think I got hosed.

I just spent an enormous amount of money for "blue rics" on a 7x7 piece of LR that are more grey than blue in my opinion, but I'm wondering if my expectations are off. What I am certain of is that...

Great shots.

Nice camera work, and great corals! :cool:

Is that second blue tipped white bodied coral different from the first? It looks a lot like an "Ice Blue Echinata".

Keep it up!

XM 10k 250 watt on a PFO-HQI with VHO actinic.

I'm a HUGE believer in 10k MH bulbs. I don't think they give the most aesthetically pleasing appearance, but I think they are the best for compromising coral growth and color with aesthetic appeal....
