[Hon]

Geez... This AT is alive !!!

Dan,

Really beautiful coral you have. You have been the early bird for the pass few shipments, didn't you?

[danano]

I have a question on your blue acro - Is the growth very slow ?

extremely slow... do you have something similar?

[danano]

How far do you place the SPS away from another?

About an inch or two but they quickly close the gap. Some are already touching and I usually let nature take its course.

[danano]

Dan....that's bad....I was going to go real slow....seeing this kind of reef setup gets the ich going real bad...

DB, sounds like I'll be seeing you again very soon... happy cheonging!

danano,

What would you say is the main factor for such a successful tank? Are T5s really that fantastic or is it also because of your pristine water quality?

[danano]

YzF, the Tunze's are all hidden in the rock work.

Steve, while I believe that the T5s that I use play a part, more importantly, pristine water is a must.

Very low nutrients result in corals that are a much lighter shade of brown, thus the colours standout more.

Very well done and nice setup u have,wish I can see ur tank right infront of me now

Yes I have one piece .... not sure whether similar .. ... the entire piece have the same blue body like yours, even the polyp is blue ... . in the tank for 2 to 3 months already.
