I have a 48" moonlight with 36 blue LEDs in it. It looks awesome at night, but can't capture the bright colors that way.

I think after you get your tank up you will have the same problem too with your own stuff if you start buying in mass like you were saying.

Thank you. I am not too sure of the ID on a couple of them, but I tend to liek to buy things that are really browned out if they look like they may have potential and see what happens in a few weeks. I think most of the brightest SPS I have were acquired this way, and it is always a nice suprise what turns out. As for shots, I still want to pick up a better macro lens, but this hobby won't let me save up enough.

Thanks. I think we all have something in common on here, and that is that we all love our tanks and finding ways to make it better. I hope whatever I do next doesn't ruin all I have put in so far.

I am starting to really like the color it turned too! I am not totally sure what it is. I was guessing a cyphastrea of some kind so I did a search on it and came across this, http://www.reeffarmers.com/limitedpu...cyphastrea.htm . This coloration is consistent with the non-top down shot

So for now, until I find something more conclusive, I will believe it is a cyphastrea japonica. If anyone else can correct me, please do!

I like the browned out pieces as well. It is always exciting to see them colour up. And for buying a new lens start selling frags and use that money to buy it.
I'm doing that to afford my new camera.

I'd take a frag of that cyphastrea if you were closer!! I'm sure you wouldn't have a problem moving anything else, your corals are wicked.

Great looking tank, acros are looking real good. How about some equipment shots also. Always enjoy seeing the support system partially reponsible for the success.

I was lucky enough to see this tank in person yesterday and it is stunning. Its like a candy store of SPS. The polyp extension on everything is crazy as well. If you can, definitely see this tank in person. You've done a beautiful job Anthony!

I would tend to agree with this ID... looks almost exactly like a colony I have, which I bought with no knowledge of..:redface:

My corals are so small, I don't think you would be able to break off too much Haha.

Will do. I am battling it out with a cold/flu right now, but I plan to do some fragging when I get better! You will know about it when the frags are recovered and ready to go! :)

I don't know!! My money keeps jumping out of the wallet on its own and I have to accommodate space!!! Well, It helped that I moved a couple of LPS out, but it only made enough room for about 3 new additions. So I will have to move some of my other colonies to my 50 gallon for now to make room for the rest. For now though, about 8 of them are just on the sand in the front of the tank. :( Want to come over for some more frags? haha I think I need to reduce the size of some of my colonies to make room for new ones :idea: and have a bunch of little colonies instead :wink:
