Another pic of them. Tyree Stag in the back and RR Avengers! Amazing colour! Yellow w/ blue tips & Red Polyps. It’s not doing much but it is happy!

Tyree Red Dragon. My fav! Complimented with a nice large Tyree Undata behind it.

MRT Ultimate Bonsai. Growing nicely now and awesome colours!

Some BS Blue Ice Birdsnest. Fast growing and great colour!

I bought both as Confusias and I am certainly confused because the colour difference is staggering! Lol.

Aussie Gold Torch – Hard to get a nice pic.

Two Face Hammer.

Group Shot. Again, the lower hammer and Torch are a lot more gold in colour but hard to get it right with the camera.

Beautiful tank and corals. Good job. And I like how you give names and descriptions of your coral pics. I wish everyone would do that.

98% off my corals are all aquacultured frags. Most SPS have come from Reefer_Madness. He has the nicest tank I have ever seen and he has really helped me out big time with my collection.

My tank has really hit its stride now and parameters are very stable. I perform 20% water changes every 2 weeks on the dot and check levels once a week. I also blow off rocks and stir up sandbed once a week as well.

I dose MB7 once a week to help prevent cyano caused by the bio-pellets. It seems to really work and keep any cyano in check.

We held our first annual FragFest in London, ON and it turned out to be a great success! I also purchased a chalice frag pack from there and got a lot of nice pieces out of it. As for SPS I have a frag rack full of RR Pearlberry, RR Diablo Stag, RR Ice Fire Echinata, RR Blue Tenuis, MRT Pommegranate Acro and a couple Aussie Millis growing out right now that will be getting placed on the rock soon. Also, I found a beauty of an Ultra Acan and even came across a Orange / Green Convict chalice frag. Last, but cetainly not least, I picked up an awesome Orange Lepto frag from Darryl as well.
