Hi Darren... Thanks man... I have soooo controlled myself on a lot of the other Rainbows that have come in the past 3-4 months... I'm sorta on a budget... just an average reefer trying to collect some colorful corals...

Now that I'm over my initial shock from all the beautiful eye candy, I have a couple of questions. Which one is your favorite? How many total scoly's do you have and are you going to get more? What's your feeding schedule and what do you feed them? I personally alternate between oyster eggs to the tank one night and then feed the corals direct brine shrimp the next. I only have one now but plan on getting a couple of more.

cool... some Q's...

Favorite:
- hmmmm... will need to think of it... :wink:

Total Scolymias:
- I have in my tank 11 right now... maybe 2-3 more total... but before that, I need to get everything situated with my scape... I don't wanna have all the Aussie scolymias on one side of the scape... currently, the main reason why they are on the left side is flow... that's one thing I need to play around this summer... when some were on the sand bed, they were kinda folded up, like the skin is getting too much flow... I'm not sure if they can adjust themselves like other corals but I didn't wanna risk it so I moved them where the flow is more low to moderate...

Feeding:
- honestly, I haven't fed in a while... but I like to feed them about once/week... I just put PE Mysis in their mouth in the morning when the lights are off... my photoperiod is: Act 4pm-11pm; Main 5pm-10pm; PowerBrites 3:30pm-5pm & 11:30pm-1am...

good luck with your future collection Frank...

I think I got the bug too but you can never have to many scolly's they pop so hard. Very nice can't wait to see more. Thank's for the pics.

I saw Marvin's collection in person on Thursday and all I can say is WOW! I have never seen scoly's so puffy and happy! It puts mine to shame right now! Seeing all of Marvin's also makes me what to add to my collection too!

Thanks Sara... it was nice having you and Gary last Thurs... I hope you guys had fun at the conference this past weekend... I couldn't make any of it due to family obligatory events... I'm looking forward to seeing Gary's photos...
