I wish I could take shots under my ReefBrites at night so you guys can see the eye candy glow of the reef at night but Im still learning how to take all blue LED shots. It's a different look after the halides go off and I'd love to show that side of the reef!

It came from New York.

Awesome looking tank with some gorgeous coral. I just started to dabble around in sps corals. Do you ever lose any like during the acclimation to your tank? I recently got some frags and had a teal tip stag completely RTN overnight and almost lost all of a green slimer frag too. All other 11 sps frags are doing great though which includes some acros, montis, pocillopora, milleporas, BN, and stylos

Sounds like a good excuse for a r2r house party!

Thank you very much! It happens but not too often. If the frag is healthy and your parameters are where they should be then things should go smooth. Do consider the light situation of which the new frag was under and also dKH. Assuming their specific gravity is 1.026 acclimation shouldn't be an issue. But from time to time a frag is stressed to the point of bleaching when even everything was done right.
