Hey Rus, Thanks Yeah that one is table forming. I just didn't have a place to put it so I had to put it vertical. I'm sure I'll soon have more then enough room to put it how it should go. Thats if it doesn't grow to fast and start tabling out the way it's sitting now. :) Hey if your free today your welcome to stop by as I'll just be tinkering with the new room. Give me a shout. Still have my #?

Also yeah the are from Mike @ Hidden Reef I picked that one out at like 3:00am :eek:

Well here are some progression pics. Just as a note there are no actinic on in the "now" pics. On of my VHO burnt out (finally after 3 years) so I have it off right now till I get new bulbs, so the pics are pure 10000K MH coloring.

All three have improved and I will post some "after" pics soon.
Hope you like them...the bulbus acro is about my 2nd favorite coral...(next to Jamie's bubblegum acro:mrgreen: )

wow only 4 edits :eek:

Hey John, NIce stuff. Looks like there just may be enough people on the island to buy up those Bali's after all. :biggrin: I like the tricolor best myself.

P.S I don't recall all the pieces you grabbed but I was sure you bought a Cali Tort. You like the bubblegum over that? hmmm Just goes to show we all have our own unique tastes. I always like to ask people that come over which one is their favorite and I pretty much always get a different answer. Which is intresting and a neat game to play. :razz: Warning do not play this game with non-reefers or you may end up with an assualt charge. For some reason they always pick out something you wish wasn't in there and you've been trying everything to get it out. :lol:

I play that game myself and I agree it's a neat little game until someone points out the little aptasia colony. :biggrin: Getting different insights from people does re-assure my taste buds from time to time.

ya getting there anyways hehe, hows the new tank coming along? I need to get over to the main land for a visit one of these months.

Steve

Hey Steve,

Yeah the new tanks coming along slowly. I just put up the tank wall this past weekend as well change the entrance way around abit. So now it's on to the electrical end of things. I'd expect it to still to be a few months till I get water in it. Every project reqiures so much thought and even then I'm sure I'll make a few mistakes. :)

I know this is a bit of a hi-jack but after I replied to Steve I thought I'd throw this out there. If there is any electricians out here in the lower mainland that have Will work for frags policies shot me an email. :smile:

Is a forklift operator close enough :mrgreen: :razz:

heres 1 i just picked up few days ago.. a lil too impatient on acclimating still fresh off from the lfs on this photo

I picked up a Bali Acro a week ago of Humilus, just arrived that day at the LFS, it's mostly brown right now with green polyps, any of you guys picked up one of these before & got some nice color change from it over a period of time.?

I've had it at the botom of my tank for the past week & will move it up mid-way this week-end, very thick branched so will try to create some good flow around it, particularly the base.

Got these 2 today at great prices. Jamie, thanks for ID'ing my other Acro in this thread. Any idea on these?
