Thanks for having me over yesterday, Ty! Tank is looking great as always...very clean and shiny pumps (you said something about a fragpack, right?)

Will keep you posted on the FarmerTy Lotus Blossum....hopefully that confetti frag grows quickly in my system!

I'm cutting the frags tonight sir. Thank you for posting that! [emoji6]

Always happy to have other reefers by. If life wasn't always so crazy, my preferred entertainment is a beer and a good reef chat. Thanks for stopping by and I'm excited about your Riddler Acro! I'll snap some pics soon!

Closeup of my giant ORA Chips colony.

JG yellow - old school that really looked more yellow in the hey day of 10k MH... Looks like a Toxic acro I've seen these days.

All my new frags that graduated into the display. You guys have some space to fill... Better get to growing!

Fifty-six days until Christmas, hoping to get to Austin in December. So save me a few of your never die but look great frags please.

I did acquire a wild colony of the similar acro several months back and lost the bottom half to STN. From afar away this neon lemon lime acro stands out like a "gem stone"

. Growing it out for sure

It is in the display, where the across the room good looks is important. I know we all run away from green when we can but a couple well placed pieces brings balance to the color spread in most tanks. Hope yours turns into a gem!

VividAquariums Confetti - Colony size or frag size, it's a beauty.

BC Hungs Truly Unbelievable - wow! ;Woot

Vivid Rainbow - colors settling back in after going away for a bit after I removed the sand from my frag tank.

Tyree Superman - not well known or common but beautiful piece to me.

Beautiful pics as always!

The Tyree superman tenuis needs to be more well known. I love how blue it can be. I was looking around some old threads this morning and I seen a post where Adam (battlecorals) said it's the bluest blue in his collection. Mine is starting to take off lately.

Thanks bud! Means a lot coming from you and your quality of pics!

I never knew he said that about the piece. I honestly never even heard of it until about a year ago. As its settling in, its definitely be surprising me about how blue it can be.

Do you have yours in higher or lower par? Mine is around 250 par.

Mine is pretty high up and getting roughly 400 par but about half of it is shaded from the Pink lemonade.

Here is where he mentions it, right next to where he says what's in the pack. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/been-a-while-led-bc-8-pack.304759/

That's pretty high par! Is yours pretty blue where it's at? I'm curious because Adam's piece in that link you sent has some browner color at the base... Kind of looks like it's in lower par.

I would say mine is pretty blue but maybe not as blue as Adams pic. If you look halfway down on this page, I would say mine looks pretty similar but not as large. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/a-whole-lot-of-sps-bc-cc-jf-scop-homewrecker.452121/page-2

Thanks bud! I'm torn now where to put it. It seems to look pretty blue in my tank at 250 par and the trunk is pretty green and not brown.
