    Atlantis neon green BN from about April of last year I think. The one in the front not circled is the colony I have now. I sold the circled one to a friend, so whenever he bought that from me is exactly when that pic was taken.

    It is now over 9" across.

    Just looking at my old photobucket pics shows me all the growth I have had in recent months.

    big ones. LOL





    Nah, I have 2 x 250 w of XM 10,000k Se halides in nice pendants, and 2x 80w t5ho in ATI blue + with tek 2 reflectors.

    I also have a GEO calcium reactor that I keep the tank at a DKH of 11 and calcium around 420 with as well. The halides are run by not so great ballasts, so I attribute most of my growth due to the reactor. I plan on upgrading ballasts some time soon. I will get PAr readings before and after the ballast swap.

    Thanks, but I need a better camera now. This is like a 6 year old 4 mp olympus. No tripod used, or any good picture taking logic is applied. Simply point and shoot with a couple drinks of spiced rum and root beer to keep my hands steady. LOL
