Wow, I didn't expect the thread to get noticed that much. Thanks guys!

My tank is three months old (re-setup from my old tank after a move and all corals died from heat in the summer). The SPS are growing well and keeping their color. I have had one or two mysterious, unexpected STN here and there, but overall, all are doing awesome.
Give me a few months as far as FTSs go. I wanna wait for the corals to grow out a bit more.

I guessed I should change the signature. My tank now is a bare-bottom setup.

A few more pics

Newly acquired blue-polyp A.austera (Miagy's tort)




True blue bottlebrush A.fenneri




ummmmm, can you say... "blue" . Incredible aquacultured piece that I snatched up at a LFS today. We'll see if it keeps this unreal color




Brick red acro




Red tabletop A.hyacinthus. This is a frag from a well-established red table. It came to me in a brow, unattractive color. As it grows, I finally can see some red pigments showing through.. yay...




And my obsession with blue millis continues.... I currently have 9 different varieties in my tank








Yet another shot of the yellow with green polyp milli, this time with no current in the tank

Whoa! ...WHOA!

Your Wild colony of A.hyacinthus (the one that is notoriously hard to keep) is awesome...I have one that nearly died (wild colony, too) but it's coming back...seriously good luck with yours!

Oh yea, and if you could not tell, nice pix!

I'm speechless. Drool is slowly dripping from my mouth.

GORGEOUS corals, STUNNING colors. WOW.

Please dazzle us with a FTS. Pretty please?

You have some of the nicest millis I have ever laid eyes on.

Great Pics, I hope your tank starts to fill out to the point where you are happy with sharing a FTS with us. Till then what ever you are doing it is right and the proof is in the corals you have shared with us.

Great looking corals! I just wanted to say I have the A&M turquoise stag as well. The LFS I work at orders from them so I picked one up. I even toured their plant. Anyway, my stag is not the same color either, mine turned bright sky blue and it looks like your turned dark blue? The upright growth on this coral has been pretty fast but branching takes FOREVER, mine has finally started to branch out. I really thought it was interesting that someone else had something from a local supplier of ours. I'd share a picture but my photo skills are terrible. GREAT looking tank, and yeah, why no FTS
