Alright, this is the best I could do on short notice. I did a bit too much celebrating after the Skins victory this afternoon (we have to celebrate while we can). These pics are taken under normal lighting conditions on my frag tank right now (1 ATI Blue +, 1 ATI Super Actinic, and my LED's (Reefbrite 36" strip) were on as well. I don't ever take LED shots but didn't feel like changing my lighting pattern just for the pics. Not too happy with the way they came out, but you can get the idea.

The frag tank is a Glasscages 40" x 30" x 9" shallow - Starphire on 3 sides. It is plumbed into my main system. I have a manifold that comes off of my Reeflo Hammerhead that feeds everything I own. There is also an MP40 behind the overflow in the back right corner that is not visible in the pics. I keep it in Reefcrest mode at about 70% or so.

As you can tell, I'm not a big fan of algae in my frag tank. Coraline has it's place, but not in my frag tank...lol. I try to keep it spotless and with a shallow tank, it's pretty easy.

I took these pics and adjusted the white balance but some of them are still quite washed out due to the LED's. The colors (for the most part) are true. Let me know if you have any questions....

Thanks Kelby. The pics just looked washed out to me. I'll have to do better on another day. The frag you are talking about is another frag of the Tiger Lily. It's not for sale as I'm holding it for a good friend of mine (aharrow). I don't have the Raging Rivers but it sounds like it's quite similar to the Tiger Lily. I know if if it comes from Kien, it's gotta be good! : )

Very nice Darth Maul Porites!Not many have it that piece it seems.

Thanks man. Not sure why as it's a fast grower and it's a very cool unique color. I have fragged mine several times and it keeps on growing. I'm thinking about using this to cover the overflow on my new tank. I think it would look pretty cool!

Thanks Darren.....I think you're looking at the colony. I have no idea where I got it from.....It certainly didn't look like this when I got it - that I know. I have never seen another piece like it.
