Very nice; I assume you are OK with the 250 watt halide... ever think of going to 400W

Keep up the great work

Yinger - August 18th will be your best bet because I hate fragging that one.
seta45 - I have thought about 400s but the SoCal Edison Electric bill continues to say no!

Shame on you gcarroll every time I decide to quit fine tuning the tank and tinkering with things someone posts pics like that and the wheels in my mind start turning. Great pics

Love it. Ultimate Blue is still the best coral I have EVER seen in pix or person.

The Ultimate Blue Staghorn is a Tyree LE that can be seen at his sight not sure if I can post a link here. It is a great looking coral but very slow grower. I received a piece from Greg around 02/06 has not grown much encrusted a bit so I am hoping it will take off soon.

Thanks for sharing and setting the bar for us Greg. Did you notice any shifts in color when you went to the new ballasts?

With corals like that, I say growth is overrated. Nice work Greg, and thanks for sharing. I wish I could be there to see in person.
