That picture, nice as it looks, doesn't even do it justice. Amazing looking piece!

I'll take it.

@SneakyTortuga is starting an SPS for my mushrooms trading thing. Put a Matt V rainbow envy in there for me too

Looking good. I recently loss my colony in a tank move and Bubba sent me a fully colored up frag of PL.

I feel no SPS tank is complete without the PL.

How’s your Sunday Driver looking bubba? I got one last weekend from Jason at a show here in Houston.

I agree. Instant classic.

If it were new today, I wonder how much a frag would go for?

The exact same. Lol
I think in the next week or two I’m gonna try and remount it to try and spur some growth.

I’ve got a couple like that. I have a rra ultimate op that has done absolutely nothing in the 4.5 months I’ve had it and right next to it is my psycho asylum and pretty in pink that I got the same day and they have more than tripled in size.

Hey bubba, did you ever notice yellow coming out on the bc aquatic man table? Mine is nice and red and a hint of yellow at a few tips. Any update pics would be great too! As always, very nice stuff and I look forward to following your next main tank build.

For that pic I used a Nikon 60mm lens. My camera settings I used was shutter speed 1/60, ISO 1000 and Apeture f13. That pic was under my t5's but when I take pics under the radions I found if you change it to the 14k settings pics come out pretty decent.

One of the most gorgeous mixed reefs I've seen. Really great job! What are the 14k settings you use when taking photos under the Radions?

Would also like to know. Using the reeflink and ecosmart to set a color intensity using the app?

How are you guys getting reds out of it? Mine is green but I’m getting it to show orange and yellow. It took a few months, but when I got it from Therman, it was a paleish green.

No I have never noticed any yellow. When it’s growing well my tips are bright blue.

I think you are lucky to get orange. Mine has only been red but would like to get the orange you see in Adams pic.

Yes I use a reeflink and the EcoSmart live app. In the app you can change it to whatever temperature you like and when I take pics I put it on 14k and leave my t5’s on.

Just looked up the bc picture and it looks like it has some yellow that I’m getting. Just faintly noticeable. No teal/blue yet but it’s starting to get going so fairly soon I hope!

A little mini colony Princess Peach that I am growing in a frag tank under much lower flow. I am noticing this one is not tabling like the one in my display that receives high flow.
