Pygmies are a love hate relationship for me, loved my potters, golden, flameback and beauty but they all ended up nipping.

Much happier after I made the decision to permanently ditch them in the zoa only tank.

Things just aren't the same without Fishytime humor around here :neutral:.

Guilty as charged but I see it motivated you to take new pic's. But how come there isn't a pic of the pretty clam I bought you?

Yes, how come? Don't you know there are others here who need their clam fix.
I knew I liked her for a good reason! She buys clams for you! You're spoiled. :biggrin:

These photos will be considered "fresh enough" for about a period of 1 week. After that all bets are off.

+1 and thank-you. I managed to get to Neal's store early enough that I was able to pick up the nicest clam out of the bunch for Doug :biggrin:

That's better Sir Dougster, I really enjoy seeing your pic. Hope I can get my new tank looking as good as yours some day.

It's true it looks a lot more yellow then green in person, I couldn't even tell what coral it was from the pic

Here's a pic I just took, the colour shows a bit better in it

http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii53/Laurie_Morin/5d7ffc42-e6af-42f2-879f-6a7198325959_zpsa65a5ac3.jpg (http://s261.photobucket.com/user/Laurie_Morin/media/5d7ffc42-e6af-42f2-879f-6a7198325959_zpsa65a5ac3.jpg.html)

[fishytime]

so I added a TIR lense to one of the radions on the end of the tank.....you cant really see any difference looking at the tank, but when you sit on the couch and look up at the bottom of the fixtures you sure can see the difference.....definitely brighter.....I have a second lens kit for the other end of the tank that I havent installed yet out of laziness, but I am impressed so I will likely pick up two more kits and do them all.....now as for whether or not the corals will be impressed remains to be seen......

thanks brochacho.....the colony was quite a bit larger when I moved it up to E-town.....the piece of rock it was on didnt really fit in to the new aquascape so I took a decent sized chunk to put in to the new tank....gave Girly the rest of it.....I specifically fragged from the area I did to get more of the tealy green and less of the red....Im quite happy that it seems to be growing out with the same ratio so far
