Figured I could probably provide a few more photos

I went through a lighting change. I recently switched from LED back to T5. I have one piece in the tank that has adapted phenomenally to each change.

Here is the piece the day I put it in the tank. It was a throw away browned out unidentified frag



Under my White and Blue LED's it started to settle in and show a little bit of color:



When I added UV and Cyan to my LED's the colors really started to change



And a few months later under the same lighting



And then with the switch to T5. I've lost the teal color, but the growth has been much better under T5 than it ever was with LED's

A few other changes. I just got home from a 3 week stay in Winnipeg. I had a friend check in on my tank a couple of times to fill my ATO reservoir and feed the tank. Some of the changes were amazing. I should learn the lesson and keep my hands out of my tank more often.

Here is a frag that I got from J&L on one of my orders. They didn't provide an ID with it, and based on the colors its tough to know for sure. I'm leaning towards Red Planet based on the tabling and the polyps.

Here it is:



I moved it higher into the rockwork before leaving and this is what I came home to:



Significant growth in my opinion. It also is giving me confidence that its a frag of Red Planet. The color is changing to red, plus its got a green tint to it that you can't really see in the photo.

Anyhow, another frag from the same order. It showed up browned out with almost no polyp extension. No Identification either. The polyps were the size of salt grains:



And then 3 weeks later when I returned. It had overgrown its plug already and look at the color and polyps. Biggest transition while I was gone for sure!



I don't have a before photo of this one, it was just much deeper in color when I got home so I thought I'd post a picture of it as well.

And a few other shots from today that were okay.

Female Lyretail Anthias, it was the only decent fish shot I could get today



The unknown blue tip acro (my most successful transformation)



Amazingly bright, yet surprisingly slow growing orange digi frag



And a panned out shot of the tank where it stands in my basement
