This one often grows with a cross in its branch design so Marc and I named it the "PurpleCross"

Thanks Guys,

The second piece has only been in the system for about a month and is coloring up almost daily now. I'm excited to see it over time. Mak, I'll see what I can do, but can't promise as it's only a small frag and needs some time to grow before it's worthy. :wink: Steve, They are fake. I can't beleive you guys would go out and spend thousands of dollars on systems to keep animals such as these alive. When for only pennies a day you can have pieces such as these :lol:

Hey Chris,

Yeah I like the lights. I think they appear a bit dimmer but they are bluer which makes it harder for our eyes to judge brightness. I'll have to see what happens over a month. Now that you brought up the pinkish tint form the uri's I'm thinking of correcting that but not for a while as the bank just called and they want their money back. :wink:

What new lights are you using, Jamie? I remember you used to have 4x110W VHO + 2x250W DE 10kK .... what config are you using now?

BTW, as usual .... you have the nicest looking corals out of any tank I have ever known. Keep up the good work. 8)

Tony,

Thanks, It's nice you feel that way. :o The only thing I changed with the lighting was I switched the ushio 10k's for AB 10k's.

Jamie, when did you change the bulbs? Do you have any before and after photos since changing the bulbs? Just curious what differences you are getting after the change.
