    Your sump setup is awesome btw. Bigger than my DT.

    My only chalice, a super tiny Red Watermelon. Only about 1/4". Hey, I'm cheap.

    Thanks for the comments.

    The Black Sun coral came all the way out tonight, so I took some more pictures. Had it for two weeks now, and it was hard to get it eating. Now it'll be easy to feed with the polyps extended.

    These pictures were taken under water with the D10.

    New coral time!

    Picked up this tiny Red Watermelon Chalice a few weeks ago. It's eating good and growing nicely.

    Also got three new acans today at the MARS frag swap, two small but colorful Lords, and a Rotundoflora.

    The first one is actually purple, not blue.

    You have some very nice unique pieces. Excellent images, and the dendros look so healthy.

    Thanks for noticing, Corailline. I'm trying to add things that look unique. I normally scope things out at swaps for a while, But when I saw the Rotundoflora I bought it right away. I was looking for a Bowerbankii but didn't see any I liked. Actually, I only saw one.

    The Dendros get fed every day. It's growing another head (opposite side in the picture). The second new head since I got it. It's usually open all day. From tonight, under actinics:

    You have a good eye for different corals from the norm. That picture of the dendro is so nice, I am jealous.

    The water mellon chalice is a piece I would pick up in a hot second.

    And the gray (what I believe are acans) again another piece that would catch my eye.
