Dag gommit Brian, it just keeps getting better and better. Those small frags are going to grow up to make you proud, I'm sure.

Let's plan on a visit next month (year) with my PAR meter.

OMG - those colors are burning my retina. Just down right beautiful. If I'll make my way to Texas next year will give my family a tour of your tank (aka beg for some frags)? What is that yellow tabling acro? Beyond words ... an SPS heaven. Thank you for sharing with us.

Well I like it that way better. I have seen pink and greens before but I hardly ever see pink and yellows. And that monti in the 5th shot of the second post is so intense I don't know if I've ever seen anything that intense amazing.

What kind of camera is that and is it easy to use? Pics are gorgeous and I'm not a huge sps fan. The pics make me want to grow some.

It is not just the phoography that make his corals look that good. They look just as good in person.

Merry Christmas Brian and Christina.


Cant wait for the January Pics.

Superb tank MakoJ. Love the coloration on the corals. Awesome thread btw. Everything look really healthy and happy. As someone else mentioned, I see future TOTM here.

Don't know if anyone answered your question about why your PPE's developed those pigments/spots. Well if no one answered it, it is because they are receiving too much light. PPE's don't really like too much light ( if you want to keep them dark purple ).

Man, I really do wish I had the time/$$$/ wife that would let me do that kind of project. I guess I'll just live through you . LOL

Do you have any corals fighting yet? space territorial fights?

Love the wrasses as I am a wrasse guy too.

I totally believe that. If I took pictures of his coral with my camera they would look nothing like that. That's why I need a new one.

Ha, your thread got a plug on the Bay Area Reefers forum and I guess we were all captivated. A very impressive tank. That result makes all the time and money worth it. The growth rate on your corals is awesome!!! Happy Holidays!

Thanks, yea I figured out the PPE problem a while ago so I moved a bunch into lower light.

LOL yea I'm glad my wife loves the hobby as much as I do. I have to thank her the most as she has helped me through out all the years and she tries to look the other way when I started to spend the $$$ LOL

Yes I have quite a few corals that are fighting some are coexisting so have taken over others but I have yet to have one completely kill the other so I let them be.


My wife and I both love wrasses too our plan is to move out some of the larger fish and put more wrasses in the thank.
