    If you need more colt coral, let me know, I will give you some! I have it growing in my sump along with my chaeto to suck up nutrients! My urchin carries it around like a trophy! Soon you will be cursing it and trying to give it away! The stuff is a weed!

    Haha! I LOVE your blue tuxedo urchin! It's funny that you say I'll be giving it away because that's how I got it, lol. It came with tank along with a pair of pulsing Xenia ( may they rest in peace) . The colt was doing really well until recently but I didn't tether the xenias down and they got tossed around too much in the move... Poor lil guys!

    But that's why I was concerned.. I mean, everything else looks good but my colt has been really mad for three days and it's supposed to be the easy one!

    Hey guys, I have 6 T5 and my tank is rather tall ( it's a show... I'm starting to find out that can be annoying for coral)... My superman mushroom is on the bottom, still maybe too much light?

    Zoo 4 life your zooanthids are awesome! I have one little patch of green dragon eyes that I sat at the top of the rock and they have already started growing two more heads.

    I would love to add some red, green, and yellows but not sure on best placement for zooanthids yet.

    Depends on the quality of the bulbs and reflectors + age of bulbs. If you have high quality bulbs (ATI, Giesmann) and SLR reflectors you will be putting quite a bit of good light clear down to the sand. But it's probably stressed a bit from the move.

    Thanks, I would say get what ever you like the most. I have a multi-colored dragon's eye that I have fragged 3 times and is doing awesome! More recently I have tubbs blue that is doing well as well as darth maul and Bam-bam. I am looking for more purple and blue colonies.

    Here's a recent FTS, notice the kentan tree stuck to the glass in the back of the tank! The stuff is a weed!

    Very nice! Thanks for the tank share. I plan to collect red, orange, and yellow zoas.
