I'm gettin a tiny frag of that ORA Roscoe from a fellow reefer...it's nice to see it grown out a bit. Awesome SPS. The Microcladus is stunning. I luv growth sequences, and the changes in coloration and health are fascinating.
LOL, thanks clownfish. You're going to love the Roscoe coral. I love the purple/blue tips on this acro. Really makes the middle of my tank stand out. Here's another picture.

Very nice! From what the fellow reefers are telling me it's a particularly hardy Acro.

Naka, is most of your SPS cultured? How have you faired with wild vs. cultured?

No, all my zoas and softies are isolated from my main rock structure.
I also have bag of carbon in my sump that I change out every month.

Naka, do you still have that African Bluestripe Pipefish? Does it require special feeding or care being housed with fish?

Also you said that you are using the Pappone method. What seafood are you feeding the coral? Did you buy the food live or frozen?

Yes, I still have that fish. I don't feed my pipefish anything. I see the fish picking/eating my pods all day.

Pappone = mussel, clams, oysters, shrimp all live except for the shrimp.

Ricky, Human Growth Hormone (steroid). It's used on the Italian tanks using the Blu Coral Method by Maurizio.

AMEN!

Awesome system! Very tasteful setup!

Is not having sand help a lot in preventing parasites?
