The clown tang is king of the tank, but he gots along with everyone. This is the first one that i have gotten past the one year mark. I have tried several over the last 10 years and they just never sseemed to make it. This guy is closing in on 2 years and doing great. Finally!!

Troy,

I asked you about those guys a while ago. A local reefer gave me those guys as a pink and green branching hydnophora. They were severley bleached, and didnt recover.
They were still alive in those pics.

I just tried to take some pics with the leds on. HA yeah right. My d40x is broken right now, and i tried to use the point and shoot without a whit balance adjustment. The pics are terrible. Gotta try and figure something out?

Kinda disappointed today. Got to borrow a par meter. And at the surface i am getting 500 and the sandbed i am getting 125. Looks like its time to add some more leds.

some quick cam phone shots from today

Thanks skinz. i am reall happy my AOG colony is growing like crazy, and my favorite right now is the purple rain zoas i got from elite reefs a while back. Started with 3 and have about 10.

And for anybody wondering, the top down shot of my tri-color colony is growing great.......under a diy bridgelux led setup
