My Garf's Purple Bonsai frag.
I just got this about 5 days ago and took the picture tonight. I sure hope my params are all in check. Its taken me 2 weeks to get my Alk and PH up to where it should be. Anyway, here's the frag pic.

And I didn't do anything special at all to the picture. I did a little unsharp mask (maybe a little too much) and brightness -5 / contrast +1. to be honest.

rsteagall, great looking frag. I just love the colors of that SPS, one of my favorites. I'm actually picking up one this week for myself I hope it looks as healthy as yours.

I'll be getting it from a friend locally, he's just going to clip me off a piece. I'm sure I'll post pics once I get it (like that has ever been a problem, lol).

I sure hope this one grows out nicely for you. It certainly looks amazing in macro view.

And hear it is one month later:



Its lost much of the purple color (???) but the growth is decent I suppose.
