    Thanks J, I will be adding more in the coming weeks. It's been tough to visit stores since I have been slammed with work.

    Im trying to figure out where to place it, it's on the bottom for now, getting acclimated to my lighting.

    Met a guy from RC, named Marco, who lives in Brentwood. I was hoping the drive out there was going to be worth it, and it was. He has the nicest, mature sps dominant tank, I've seen. It's been running for 7 years! He has an Icefire colony direct frag from James at Aquascene...it's the biggest by far, 7 years old!

    So I got a few frags from him, highlighted by this one:

    I would sure like to see a mature colony of Red Dragon. Must be very hard to come by as I think I have only seen one smaller colony and it was really beautiful. It looks smooth skin like a deeper water acropora is this true?

    Congrats on the new acquisitions.

    Thanks corailline....he has a colony that is around 6" across, it's really nice, and was the reason I got it. It grows fairly fast, since he has had it for 8 months. Here's a colony pic....found this online

    Oh very nice. Thanks for the image, I can sure see why people like this acropora. :)

    This little frag was damaged from my semi crash earlier in the year. I left it in the frag rack for months, watching it slowly color up. I decided to blast it dead center of my tank, and it's showed growth with it encrusting, as well as a return to it's glorious color...SniperSPS Bubble Gum Mille..even has a green tip, but check out the blue and super red polyps
