inspiring! What a great collection of superb stonys. I love the way you let them compete, too. Tell us about your maintenance routines...how often do you do w/c?

More pics

Pink Mille



Acan lord: bought this back then as a 'brain' coral at a LFS. It was totally washout with almost no red or pink hint on it at all except that the polyps telling me it's not a brain and more an acan. So I asked the LFS guy would the color of this 'brain' coral change to something nicer.. he said it should turn a little greener

Great colors. It looks like you've used a wide range of lamps (all DE?) in the 250 wattage. Which one do you like the best for color and pop of colors on the corals? I'm using 250 DE xm 10k's now with 4- 72" vho's. I'm looking for growth right now and while I'm happy with the colors when they reach the size I want I want to change to a higher K lamp to get the colors to pop alittle more.
Thanks.
Tony

Thanks Fisheebill!

Well.. since I cant show off the full tank shot because someone got trigger happy.. I can at least show the full evolution from start to present. This pic is from 6-2006. And the next pic is the one I took 3 months ago.
