Default Color mixing montis!

We had a thread here on CanReef a couple months ago on this subject, but can't seem to find it

I copied the idea from Emster's build thread on RC here and then he was featured as Jan 2009 TOTM. Very beautiful display!

Last night I finally got around to mounting my frags onto a piece of travertine tile. I cut it with a 2" diamond holesaw, then left it in some water for a couple days. The water was changed every time I walked past it in the kitchen.. never too sure with concrete products (at least in my nano).

February 25th 2009






Let's see how it is a couple months from now

I've been thinking of layering the red, green & purple. I've seen it elsewhere and it looks awesome.

Christmas montis .. haha. I hope it turns out well and they don't kill each other. I also had a few more small pieces I mounted on a plug too.

Those frags were grown out from baby sized frags .. maybe 1/2" or so

just be careful it's all the same species.
Janet at OA was showing Al and I the new OA display where they had done this and several of them were attacking one another and she informed us that different species of monti will do that.

just tagging along, I always thought it was a great idea. Guess I know have to make sure that it is the same species if I try it.

Here's hoping! I let them grow and touch on the frag rack and all seems to be going well. But, as we all know nothing in this hobby is predictable!

I tried long time ago and green beat orange. I'm still wondering about the RC TOTM where buddy did it. Looked to unnatural too checker boardish I like your mount hope it works please keep us posted. One thing I did notice was the mount on RC, he didn't have any touching they grew together, when I did mine I mounted them touching Hmmm??
