DeepBlue's SPS corals

[DeepBlue]

Just like to put up some pics of my sps under the BLV bulbs(8 hours)

Supported by regular adding of Kalk. & a Ca Reactor

Running with one small H&S skimmer....

(Ca level 500(hi) and Kh at 12-13, ph 8+)

Stock:

1) Just got the pink birdnest (from a fellow reefer - 1 month plus old in his tank)

2) Purple acro (can help id?) more than 2 weeks, colour deepening since I bought it.

3) Light brown/yelllow humilis with green polyps.(drop onto my bubbles, had to chop off the rtn tip )

4)2 other light purple humilis...trying to let them colour up together. (lost their colours and turned brown under my 150W a while back)

5) Purple tip staghorm from Danano, coloring up slowly

6) purple digitata from another reefer

7) green small acro frags ....

8) monti caps

want to do it, but just saw the new electrical bill...from $140 plus shoot up to $200 plus

It is because of the upgrade from 150W to 250W MH?

Mine was $60 then up to $180 I think this month confirm up again. Hiak....
