.....so how many watts you running in total now Dez?

I'm only running 1174 watts on my display (5 x 2 x 2). Not too bad eh?

Although I run 300 watts on my 4 x 2 x 14" tall frag tank, but not a long photoperiod.

A few random shots from today with halides on

Pink Stylo

Red Milli

Green Birdsnest (Hystrix)

Green Stag w/ blue tips....this had a rough go for the first few months - fell into a lot of things and got stung, it was browned out from a ballast that went for a week, I was considering getting rid of it, but now it's got awesome polyp extension and it turned green on me and has started growing like a weed.

Derasa Clam

Pokerstar Monti

Saltynuts Hairy Acro (was completely brown when I got it)

Green Acro (about 8" across and 8" tall - grew from a frag 5 months ago)

Lobsterboy's pink milli

Pink Pocci

Amazing Pics Dez. Thanks for all the help. Hope my tanks look half as good as yours one day.

Red Milli

Pink Birdsnest (grew this colony from a 1" frag)

Green Hummulis or Gemmifora, unsure of ID

Pink Stylo Frag - about triple the size from original frag

Bluish Milli with Pink tips - This is my largest colony, probably 10" across and I grew it from a 3" colony to start. Was brown when I got it. One of my favs

Lobsterboy blue stag (This started out with only a single growth tip, now it's finally branching out)

Crocea Clam

Don't know what Acro species this is but I like it.

A few shots under 3 T5 bulbs

This is Snappys Acropora Abrolhosensis, as you can see, when I got the frag, it was just a flat top without a growth tip. I got this frag beginning of Nov and I finally have a growth tip out the flat top. I got enormous growth out the side without a growth tip though. It'll start taking off now that there are lots of growth tips.

Snappy's bird of many colours (It's a bird of one colour for me - started out as a 1" frag with just a "y", from Nov 09)

Another pic of the Saltynuts hairy acro (started out as a brown frag)

Another pic of my green acro that started out as a frag
