lastlight's 97 (lights out)

The saltynuts look best from the top, so blue. We can rename it the blue nut acro

Oh dear... I always thought blue nuts weren't all that good but what do I know.

The growth looks really purple in my tank actually. The rest of the coral is nothing to write home about so I'm hoping it's always got mad growth!

Not sure if I missed it somewhere in here, but what model of SWC skimmer are you running?

You're right Brett. I just couldn't pass up the blue nut name. Purple nut just isn't the same. In my tank the colony is about 8" tall and only the top 1 1/2 is always purple. The rest of the coral is kind of tan/brown cause it grew sort of like an upside down cone so the parts underneath the growth don't see any light. We have to start coming up with underwater lighting to light corals from below . Maybe when I'm in Calgary between Christmas and New Year I'll invite myself over to see your tank in person.

Mine is pretty much a little bouquet on top of the stem so I'm wondering if the top gets too large if the base can support it. There is one branch coming out the bottom and I hope I see more to balance it out.

We'd love to have you guys over for a visit. If there's a possibility let us know so we can actually arrange for dinner or lunch or whatever you guys can manage =)

wow your growth is fantastic, and the colors are unreal. can i ask, are you using np pellets or zeo or vodka dosing, or anything else?

[Snappy]

Looking good Brett. If that abrolhosensis keeps growing like that I might even be able to get a piece of it back next year some time. I miss that coral.
