    I dont know jim522... lol.. I dont think a 300 would look right in my current house. I think the 180 will have to stay around a while lol

    ingtar, I wouldnt call it an obsession, I just aquired them lol.
    that purple cap I grew from a small frag about the size of a ritz cracker
    you can see the frag in the pic below from sometime around when I got it in 3-6-08

    as you can see, it has grown alot, and although i have fragged it, I hate to break it up since it looks cool and I dont want to ruin it.
    the others have also been grown but not from such small frags.. although I do have 2 green with purple rims, they grow in a different pattern... lol, ok, maybe a little obsessed. :)

    ok, yall might find these pictures interesting too
    on my 29gal I ran PC
    on my 72gal I ran T5
    now on my 180 I use MH

    Here are some growth pics of a ORA blue hawkins that I bought about 2 months before making the swap from the 72 to the 180:

    this was in my 72, on 2-1-10, the day I broke my 72 down under T5:

    I can say that I am pretty impressed with the MH look as well as the growth as I can see alot of growth throughout all of my corals since moving them under MH
