Soccorbag those are insane man!
Very nice sps there Craig,what is that first one(purple/green)?Photos look great to me too.Im guessing here but is the second one the pink jade?
oh:
Thanks man but I've got a lot of work to do with my top down box. I'm not able to connect both the camera and the top down box to the tripod. If anyone knows of a fix, please chime in....I'm sure it's an easy fix, but I just can't figure it out. Anyway....
the first pic is the ATL Ultimate Stag and the second is actually the Aqua Delight. The color (on the AD) is way off and, of course, it's a bit washed out with the white sand behind it. The true colors are a deep shade of aqua with purplish polyps. Hopefully once I fix my equipment malfunction, I can get better pics with more accurate colors. I will say that the ATL Ultimate Stag actually looks pretty good (as far a representative color goes). It's an amazing piece!

I'm glad to see that the Aqua Delight is still alive and kicking. It was my baby from over 12 years ago that I gave a frag of to Greg Hiller. Greg is the one who named it. I used to call it my "blue-green" acro as the colors just glowed when given high light.
So true Richard. The chalices are cool for color deviation, but SPS make a tank. Some may take this the wrong way, but I laugh everytime I see a hobbyist with a "display tank" with egg crate and chalices with a couple other random pieces. I heart SPS :angel:
I know Peter. I guess I'm just too old school as I don't get the egg crate, small tiny frags for redonkulous skrills and the oversaturation in photos :xd:

Yes, it is nice. ATL's website shows a gorgeous colony with a deep purple (almost a GARF bonsai purple). Mine has a lighter shade of purple (think 20K or 30K Lokani) but the tips are this green for sure - no enhancement at all here. If it looks half as good as the colony shot on ATL's site, I will be a happy man. Took a LONG time to take off but it's growing well now. : )
I have numerous tanks to support my addiction, but my favorite is me SPS tank. I couldn't afford the chalice trend (bought a few, but...). My area of the country is nearly devoid of SPS lovers, though. I know one die hard down here (and he has some awesome looking pieces) and several who are in the early stages of a mini obsession, but not like it was in Nashville. I've tried selling SPS at frag swaps, but don't generally do all that well. Zoas and acans have been bread and butter at swaps for me. They grow slower for me than my SPS, though... Haven't figured that one out yet
