Max, i dont use Radiums. Not a fan of them as its too blue. I have 2 - 10K AB DE on each side and one 14K AC DE in the middle. 250w each. Oh and 400w's of Actinic (2 - URI VHO and 1 T5 Blue).

I have an orange exactly like that. I paid 125.00 for it. Guess I don't feel bad now. I just got a camera so I will post pics of it tomorrow.

Please post pics HAID, would love to see it! Apparently this one for $350.00 is more red than orange per the owner.

Mine is def. orange no red. I have been looking for a bright solid red for awhile. I seen one at IA, but wasn't going to spend 500.00 on it. It was small to. Oh well I will get lucky one day. I have a green with white stripes that I think is splitting. It has formed a second mouth and now appears to be slowly seperating off. I see no skeletal growth on the pinched part though so Im not sure.

ok lets try this: Here are a couple of pics of my orange. Not quite as ruffled. The pics looked good before I downsized them, now they are a little blurry.

Here is a better pic of the second mouth that is forming. Is it splitting? Like I said I see no additional skeletal growth under this new mouth but the skeleton is right under the mouth of the left. Whats your opinion?

heuerfan did you buy that other orange or was it someone else. I seen that coral but I have a standing rule to not top 200.00 on any one peice. I have had other greens and pink/red/white mixes but I am down to these two. It doesn't look like it but they both eat up quite a bit of tank room.

Thats exactly why I got rid of 4 of the ones I had. They just got too big. My LPS tank is only a 125 so with 6 of these guys in there, not a lot of room. Also doesn't help that the tank has a 24" across golden toadstool in it. I have been thinking of upgrading to a bigger tank for my LPS but the wifes not crazy about it. I have 4 tanks upstairs at the moment. I could get a bigger tank but it would have to go in the basement. Which means that I would likely be the only one to see it when I go down into the fish room.

My LFS has a "Scoly" FS that I have been considering. I have a few questions though. First it is a different kind I think it is all bumpy on all the surface. Also it is pretty dull in color like a very light green or something. My question is, They have it at the very top of their tank under a 400W DE bulb. Do you think it would be more colorful under less light? ALso is the really bumpy kind a different kind than these smoother ones? It is a nice size( about 6" across and 80. I was just thinking of waiting till I saw a more colorful one. Just curious as to what you all think
TIA

It probably will not color up much if any under different light in my experience. Unless you change the spectrum and like the color better or something. I am not sure what you mean by "bumpy". Is there one like it in this thread? Is it transparent like or more solid in color.
