Just acclimated this intense colored brain. By far the most ridiculous coloration that I have ever seen. Took some pics along w/ my fish to show the bright colors.

Hi Maximus, thanks for compliment. I really like this coral, it lights up my tank. I'm hoping my Joculator leaves it alone.

Not too much flow. Moderate randome flow via OM 4 way.

Thanks,

You have a beautiful tank! Very nice brain and scolymia... I really like the frameless design on the tank, who makes this? What lighting fixture do you have?

This tank was built by Aquarium Environments (http://www.aquariumenvironments.com/2006/) in Houston. You can email Jaime Depujadas (jdepujadas@aquariumenvironments.com) about the cost of the tank. And yes it is under warranty!

I've always wanted the open top look w/ light fixture suspended from my ceiling, (strongly influenced by my good friend invincible) so I went with Sfiligoi Infinity HQI 2 x 250w (10k Ushio/BLV) with T5 x 4 54w. It's a 48" fixture w/ and 4 x moon lights controlled by 2 x ACLS. I ordered the Sfiligoi lights from Aquarium Obsessed. (http://www.aquariumobsessed.com/)

Here's the thread I started early this year.
