Your oblivion.... how come color so unique?

Yeh bro you are right ! This particular species seems to have a fun way of displaying the color under different lightings, it seems to produce a slew of beautiful presentation with different light levels...this one is colored up under very dim lightings !

Few has taken notice of this frag as it was brown and has not develop the carnation color brush...till now....a case of ugly duckling i suppose :upsidedown:

Here's another two of my fav "Fanciful" collection...

RR Multicolor Matrix

This beauty took me around 4 months to develop it's multi-color display...yellow coralite ring, purpish near the top branch and a mixture of lime green, pink and orange pigmentation across the lower body part ! Sadly am not skillful enough to capture all this vivid color from my Canon DSLR, but am very happy it has gone to someone who truly appreciated it :)

and....

OBLIVION

Kudos to the one who name this Sps...it's truly an appropriate name for it...Oblivion !

I love this piece because the sweet pinkish-carnation patches shows up uniquely in various parts of the body... :wub:

Truly Extreme!

Well done bro.

Passion in reefing!

I suppose the colors of SPS does not depend on whether u re using Ca reactor or 2 parts dosing, more dependent on what lights are being used & the spectrum. Correct me if i am wrong but i have seem many beautiful SPS tanks using Ca reactors, like Dr Ang, Bro Kakani & Bro Max..... Why???

Anyway i am still newbie in SPS keeping & cannot compare myself to them (old timers). I feel younger again. I am sure one day my tank will be as nice. Meanwhile, i will continue to enjoy the poison here. Come throw some more pics. I am developing more immunity already.

Wheather it's CR, 2 parts or balling etc...it's just a means to an end - which is to control and maintain the desired KH / Ca / Mg level. So you are right to say that SPS colors does not depend on which method but rather the ability to maintain a stable parameter using any of the method.

I have also seen beautiful SPS tanks simply with balling ( dosing pump ) method and produce great coloration.

And to those i have not met, yet giving me advices, sharing infos on this forums. They are, i believe, very nice people too. Bro, sorry to hijack your thread.

Not at all bro... it's very nice of you to acknowledge and give credit to those who have help :thumbsup: this is what i call gracefulness , a virtue which is seriousy lack in the current society.

Oblivion need to be on low light to get deep red. The red colour is different from other red you see before.

Sent from my GT-I9305 using Tapatalk

Yes bro Kakani, i agree with you the red is quite unusual. Lighting wise i find that it cant be too low or else it gets brown. Mid light or slightly lower ( 1.5 ft below water level ) would be very ideal :)
