The Science . . . And the Art

Neat blend of textures and colors, @DSC reef!

I like the way you've got similar textures (Montipora spongodes / capricornis) in contrasting colors, and the way the slimer picks up the spongodes' color, but with a radically different form.

Thank you!

Fascinating and beautiful gardens, @leahfiish and @fabutahoun ... the forms of the corals unify the groupings as a whole, while the colors invite my eyes to wander through them without ever getting bored!

Don't sell yourself short, @Jason mack! You seem to have ended up with flowy, billowy forms on the left, with taller, firmer structures on the right, and a pleasing mixture of colors in both regions.

Excellent topic. I see beautiful aquariums that make mine look Like i shouldn’t even be in the hobby. My simple answer is i buy hat a like and try to make it work. My one regret is buying zoas and “liking” the same color combinations so I do not have enough contrast to make them pop...I promise I will do better in the future.

Thanks @Maritimer

I have been fragging and selling this past week. I need to buy some fish and get some much needed nutrients into the tank. I hope things will really take off after that.

I am going to try to better at updating my build thread.

I think the more colors the better (there is a limit though), I'm trying to find a good red for my tank (maybe an acan), and every time I add a coral that is a different color the tank gets better.
