wow, beautiful corals and great photos. Color is stunning!

Thanks, you'd have been blown away by how brown they were two weeks ago. A whole bunch of water changes and some new ZeoVit, and she's looking good again! I'm going to post back in a month or so with some growth shots so stay tuned in!!

Looks great, word of caution for the future. Get rid of the mushrooms if you are going to keep sps. In the long run they can and will kill your sps and are pain to get rid of and multiply like weeds.
I found out the hard way and lost some nice pieces. :(

I know what you are saying, but these rocks aren't touching the rocks with SPS mounted to them. When the mushrooms get closer to the structure i will move them away and frag them down to stop them from encrouching on my SPS.

on it's way soon don't worry, I'm hoping to have some full tank shots next time, right now all it looks like is piles of rocks with a droplet of color here or there.

Great looking corals and nice photography. But as for the mushrooms, they don't need to be touching as more mushrooms bloom they will release from the rock and hide in every nook and cranny until the bloom and multiply there. Yours are beautiful though and I understand the resistance to culling them.

I need to go hunting.
