The last two really have me hooked, the one above the last almost looks like a Pink Lemonade colony. How long did it take for them to color up like this? Are you running led?

 

[danreefman]

That ones all crazy colored in person.
6 ati blues
2 ati coral plus
All t5s on 10 hours
2 4foot 50/50 reefbrites XHO on 6 hours
2 4foot blue XHO on for 13-16 hours whenever I decide to turn off or turn on. This one is only one manual.

 

[danreefman]

Looks like 12-14k when all on. Thats How I took the pics.

 

[danreefman]

This one is getting some super color

Where does one find these frags or smaller colonies??

 

[danreefman]

I can cut some up.

 

[danreefman]

Got mine at local stores. But they aren't really bringing them in much anymore. The ban.

What stores do you go to? I never saw any colonies at neptunes but Aquatic Collection is getting in some serious nice Aussie stuff.

 

[danreefman]

Aquatic collection. Neptune gets more standard and wants 3-4 times more than aquatic collection. I like Robert. Just his sps lacks what he thinks it has

Also took a punt on a tiny slimer which worked out well

That is KILLER!! How far apart were these photos and what are you running for lighting?

About 6 months apart. Lighting was simply an Evergrow 2080 pro-reef unit. I didn't even dose back then, just 10% water change every week with Tropic Marin Pro-Reef salt
