Fab, I'm very sorry to hear that. Did it get stung or just not do well in your system?

Poor frag didn't do well at all. The widowmaker thrived but for some reason, it just wasted away within a couple of weeks.

Do you keep your frags on BB or do you have egg crate that they sit on? I'd like to see pics of your frag tank set-up. By the way your collection is amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for your comments. My frag tank is 40" x 30" x 9" from Glasscages. It's rimmless with Starphire on front and sides. It is barebottom and most of the chalices do sit directly on the bottom. I do have a 2-rack frag rack (custom made by one of our sponsors - The Blue Glow). It is a tiered system. All SPS is on top shelf just under the water line. The bottom shelf houses most of my watermelons and any other chalices that like a bit more light. Everything else is on the bottom.

I'll try and get some pics today of the setup. : )

Thanks Kelby. You'll love the Pink Fame (one of Mike's best IMO) and you're lucky to be getting a hold of the Tiger Lily. Not many folks have that one. It's a slow grower but it's beautiful.

Would love to see an over all shot, or FTS of the systems these all reside in. Im always interested to see how people grow out systems are set up and the placements for their corals! Don't see that too often!

For the Macro shots, I use a Ultrasonic 100mm f2.8 Macro lens. They aren't cheap...that's for sure. I also use a sturdy tripod and a "shutter remote" to eliminate any chance of vibration in the camera. Hope that helps Austin.
