    I have had my purple tang since 1999. He doesn't even graze anymore. My other tank os a bristle tooth. What type tangs are you training to eat it?

    Thanks! The iPhone 5 is capable of some amazing shots. There were a few corals that it could not capture but overall about 70% of the pics taken were posted.

    Do you use a special app or something. My i5 shots don't look like that.

    I feed little these days, I've seen my black tang (6") lavender tang (4.5") and even my little tomini (3.25") eating some.They are all pretty fat so I keeep them on the march. My 3 wrasse are super fat and I still have too many pods.
    One thing i did for the sawblade calurpa is place it on the nori clip with nori. They took to it well. I haven't had to remove any for months. It was awful.

    Yes, Steve Weast paid $500 for the original wild colony from a friend of mine back when typical efflo colonies were costing $60 - $75. People said he was crazy but he said it was like no other efflo he had ever seen. The box had massive damage to it and the colony RTN'd over night. My friend did frag it months before the sale and gave it to a friend of mine. That friend gave me a small frag for safe keeping.

    I run Radiums so the pictures come out blue. Using iPhoto, I make the following adjustments:
    shadow to 15
    sharp to 25
    temperature to 35

    Adjusting the temperature is like white balance. Once you remove the blue, the colors are there just as they look to the eye.

    I really like your selection of corals. It's interesting to me that not only do you have chalice's and SPS growing close together, that they can thrive under similar lighting. Great tank!
