Brilliant purple w/ bright green polyps...

Besides intense lighting and good flow/circulation, you need optimal water conditions/parameters and your calcium and alk levels need to be maintained as well.

Awesome AT! Your house reef is out of this world!! Now, seriously, sit back, relax and enjoy... watch those babies grow and turn your living room into a rainbow!

plus good flow and circulation I have 'same species' frags in different parts of the tank and they are colouring up differently.

These two frags are about 6 weeks old... about 8 inches from ATI T5 Aquablue Special and Blue Plus. It is also at a spot with very good flow and circulation. Colouration now is even better than when I first got the colony!

little??? Cmunster... most of my sps are no more than 12 inches from my T5s. My T5s are 3" from the surface. I'm sure you'd do fine... keep us posted on how your first sps fares.

Thanks Kevin. Hey, your aquascape and sps are coming along very nicely! Let's see some pics... Thanks Yazid! Btw, I'd love to see the tricolour colony that you got from PR. It's a beautiful specimen. Would be great if you could share with us a pic of your reef as well.

Here's what I would refer to as a "bonsai" colony

hmmm... slight cyano problem in the earlier days of my 30g (in Tanzy's post above) thanks for your support and complements fellas! anyway, here's a current pic I took yesterday

Ming, you sure transformed your tank fast! Nice! Did u get any sps from PR today?

You should still be able to find some nice specimens. All sizes and colours. Check it out.

Moved the monti to make way for the new "bonsai acro colony"... here's the monti cap in its new spot on the reef.

Terryz... it's a small sailfin tang. When it grows to about 3" or so, I'll have to find a new home for it. It's only 1.5" at present. Thanks for the kind words dudes!

Hmmm... can't seem to edit my earlier posts, so here are some new pics

Nice, very nice ... keep it up AT! I guess that would mean your electricity bill as well The colours and growth make it all worth your while... you must be extremely pleased!
