Default couple new shots

This one often grows with a cross in its branch design so Marc and I named it the "PurpleCross"

An A. efflorescens I happened to stumble across

And an intresting stubby stag I'm starting to like.

Thanks Guys,

The second piece has only been in the system for about a month and is coloring up almost daily now. I'm excited to see it over time. Mak, I'll see what I can do, but can't promise as it's only a small frag and needs some time to grow before it's worthy. Steve, They are fake. I can't beleive you guys would go out and spend thousands of dollars on systems to keep animals such as these alive. When for only pennies a day you can have pieces such as these

Hey Chris,

Yeah I like the lights. I think they appear a bit dimmer but they are bluer which makes it harder for our eyes to judge brightness. I'll have to see what happens over a month. Now that you brought up the pinkish tint form the uri's I'm thinking of correcting that but not for a while as the bank just called and they want their money back.

What new lights are you using, Jamie? I remember you used to have 4x110W VHO + 2x250W DE 10kK .... what config are you using now?

BTW, as usual .... you have the nicest looking corals out of any tank I have ever known. Keep up the good work. 8)

Tony,

Thanks, It's nice you feel that way. The only thing I changed with the lighting was I switched the ushio 10k's for AB 10k's.
