Lightbulb ACk, SpS's with colour, I can't find any....

Hey all, I see u guys got huge tanks that appear to be filled to the top with all kinds of stuff. Totally Cool!! *you may as well have an indoor swimming pool*, anyways I'm lookin at making an only SpS coral tank with mainly acro corals. Whenever I look for acro's with real colour their either super expensive and impossible to get or their sold out. *wow, I seem to have bad timing* Anyone got any up for sale or know a place I can get some?
tks
btw I'm lookin for frags and keepin this tank cheap

wrong hobby if you want cheap. Nothings cheap here. Try OA for some frags. Many browned out corals will color up over time in a good setup.

I swear you basically have to experiment. Some corals may look great in other tanks but not so good in your own and vise versa. My method these days to getting new SPS is placing frags in a frag tank and observing the color over a few weeks, if the color becomes or stays good it gets mounted otherwise it eventually gets traded to another reefer for him or her to play with

Can you be a bit more specific as to what you want or are you open to basically anything?

Your standard coral reef water testing kit to make sure that the pH, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate are in check among other things.-srry I should make sure to be more specific

I think the general concensus would be to just purchase quality test kits separately. Salifert and Elos test kits generally seem to be preferred.

Corals you mean? I'm aiming *wishfully* for one or two nana frags that have not too bad colouring and one Acropora sp in a blue or purple.
