Jamie, compliments from the master are always welcome!! :biggrin:
The first one is the stag I gave you a piece of. The light blue milli is a different one than Steve has, although very similar. And yes, the pink milli started as a frag from you from Victor's meeting 2 winters ago. Starting to take off, eh? :razz: Number 5 came from Marc or Wendell, so I'm sure you have some of it. When I come over, I'll bring a piece of the dark blue milli for ya! |
Brad, well I don't happen to have a peice of #5 it was one I wanted but just never grabbed a peice before we sold the fragging systems. As for the deep blue milli. By chance could it be A.prostrata ? Also where did you pick it up from? I'll have you know I have a piece of the tort sitting on epoxy as of yesterday.
|
Jamie, yes, A. prostrata is likely. It doesn't extend polyps quite like millipora. Want some? As for #5, I'll snap a branch for ya tomorrow and mount it.
The deep blue one has red highlights that don't show up in the pic. |
I think I have the prostrata. I know not many peices were sent out from mine but a few did make it out there. Were did you get your's from ? Yeah I'd like a peice of #5 though Thanks
|
Mine came from Tim last time I was out there. He didn't have much and I may have got the last/only frag...
|
Yeah sounds like thats the one. I know I got mine like 4 years ago when Marc had his first fragging set up. At that time Marc got his corals from Tim. It is certainly a sweet peice that many people have asked for frags of over the years. For what it's worth it's help me get some sweet trades over the years as well.You are right as well on the red pigment though it'll only show when it's good and happy :lol: For someone that used to complain about color you sure seem to be pulling them now. Would you say that now with the 10k's back on colors have improved or have things been improving prior to the change?
By the way if you look at Steve Tyree's .http://www.reeffarmers.comsite you'll see he's got A.prostrata that he's marketing as a limited edition thats a dead ringer to the one you/we have.I'm refering to the 3rd one down. Well your there look at the sky blue milli look familiar? |
Jamie, I'd say overall, lighting makes little difference. All the blues and greens stayed the same (for the most part) but putting 10k back on sure brought back the pinks. I have a pocillipora that is a deep pink and the radiums wiped it really bad. My pink bird's nest also turned brown under the radiums.
I think now I get the intensity I need to penetrate the branches AND the radium in the center gives me a nice blue hue to the tank. Running three bulbs bumbed the heat a bit, but I'll have a chiller next year. The stag in the first pic was a bit deeper purple before, but it heading back that way now. I'm going to work on some better pics from the top over the next few days, so maybe I can get some sharper details. |
Brad, Darn you guys always get me playing with the camera after posting pictures. Ah sure is a fun part of the hobby :cool: . Anyways here are a couple pics first is of the skyblue milli from Stircrazy that appears very similiar to the one you posted and second is a close up showing the pink/red color(what would almost appear as fluorescing pigments) that shows up from the A.prostrata.
