Display light schedule is:
2 SB reef bars 10:30 - 9:30
2 bulbs from the ATI t5's 12:00 - 8:30
All bulbs 1:00 - 7:00" roughly 400 par

Your corals are probably some of the best colored I have seen. Really beautiful.

I’ve been trying for a year now sneaky tortuga and I can’t get him to post one. Lol I’ve seen his tank in person and it’s stunning!

I actually have several FTS of bubbas tank, the first one to send me SC OP I’ll post it on his page!
Or just solve this riddle and I’ll post it!!!

You have a fox, a chicken and a sack of grain. You must cross a river with only one of them at a time. If you leave the fox with the chicken he will eat it; if you leave the chicken with the grain he will eat it. How can you get all three across safely?

First take the chicken, then grain, take chicken back, leave him, take the Fox, go back for the chicken

In his defense, his side shot did convince me to actively seek out a piece of maleficent.

In person it looks good. I have tried to take a FTS and it just looks sad.

Over the last two weeks my Maleficent has exploded with growth! I had someone come over this morning who has never seen my tank and immediately ask what coral it was. It really stands out.

Take the pictures in sections of the tank ( left,center,right)

Yeah, yours is crazy bright. I was able to get a pretty large frag a few days ago, but is kind of faded. Hopefully one day I can pull the colors you’re getting from it.

A few pages back in the side view pic, the maleficent is lower left and if you compare it to the TSA Princess peach (upper right), which is a nice pinkish red, it makes the princess peach look dull. I am not sure if this will change as it starts to branch out now but I hope not.

I bought this as an original Pearlberry but after seeing the thread with so many different fakes, I may never know. It is finally starting to get the color in the tips. What is your thoughts?

This is the BC Houdini. I have had this a long time it always looks happy but it just doesn't grow for me. If others have it, please share a pic.

It came in that pack I bought from TCK. He had it as ORA pearlberry.

I have seen people trying to pass echinatas off as PB lol
