Very nice! What is the second picture, really like that one.

Thanks Bobby. Tyree Red Dragon.

Thought so looking a little bleached.

spspirate · Apr 8, 2015

New bulbs just ordered today. Phoenix 250 mogules.

Is that Red dragon burned from old bulb? or it is time to replace it? Mine looked fader than that under radion pro led.

spspirate · Apr 12, 2015

The Red Dragon is fine. It's some of the other corals that seem to have a little photo shock. These are metal halides. I may have got a bad or "short lived" batch of bulbs. I have some Phoenix's coming in on Tuesday.

Everyone knows I am not a zoa guy, but I decided to create a frag rack garden of zoas for this reef. Here are a couple of the ones I have.

Bleeding Hearts

King Midas

Tubbs Blues

Pac Mans ?

Nice variation of color in the zoas....will look great when they grow together

kschweer · Apr 12, 2015

Great looking zoas! I would say pac mans on the last ones. Some call them butt munchers too.

Those are some nice looking zoas! I love the Tubbs Blues and sure do miss mine!
I quit with zoas as much as i love them... palys do better for me and almost all my zoas melted when i started keeping acros.

Thanks!! Yeah I've been beefing up my feeding here lately in hopes they don't melt away. I've had that issue before.

My feedings last week weren't as heavy as usual due to being to busy and tired. I lost a few more to melting and my sunset monti isn't pleased either. It's amazing how quickly they melt

So I'm beefing up the food here as well

s2nhle · Apr 14, 2015

Those Zoas look really nice. I don't have problem with zoas however, i do have problem with my lobo corals. i just lost one this week.

Sounds like a good move.
