U like it a lot better?
Are you asking if I like the CC Supernova better than the Colorado Sunburst?

That's like asking me which kid I like better. The answer is... the first one. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Both are beautiful! I love both my children the same. [emoji16]

Oh heck yeah! But I'm biased... They asked me to be a MOD on the Sunburst Anemone Club when everyone made a mass exodus because of the drama on the Sunburst Anemone Marketplace. My prime directives are to squash drama and quickly boot scammers. The posting about nems comes 3rd. [emoji16]

What kind of flow settings do you run Ty?
Oh jeez, everything!

MP60s on a nice mix of programs and the two Jaebos to support that. Everything from waves, gyres, pulses, clean out cycles, etc.

What mode you run on Jebao?
It's a custom program via the Apex. I feel like I posted it somewhere in my thread already. Only reason I say that is because it's a pretty long copy and paste since the programming is pretty involved.

Old school forest fire digi... I remember when everybody went nuts for this when it first came out.

Tyree Tricolor - another old school... Surprisingly, I never had one back in the day. I can't believe I missed out on this one for so long. It is an across the room looker!

Old school is still the best for having a beautiful tank.
Great detailed pictures!

CC Habanero Anacropora - beautiful red-orange that is finally not another digi! It officially graduated to the display for its across the room good looks.

Palmer's Blue Mille - classic super fuzzy mille (well, fuzzier in a non-angel tank) with blue base and blue polyps.

Unique Corals Turquoise tort - I don't see this one too often in other tanks. Its a very unique blue color that stands out in the tank. I finally graduated it to the display.

Do you have eggcrate or any other type of material under your rocks to help protect the glass? I don't, and I'd be too nervous about the rock making contact with the glass to try to apply a sharp, downward force like that.

No eggcrate here. I never sit my rocks on the glass itself. I always lay my sand first and then put my rocks on top. Some people have issues with the rocks shifting with time but that hasn't really ever happened to me so I keep running with what I have been successful with.

If you saw it in person, you'll see its a series of light taps. I'm not walloping away like Thor. Just gentle taps... The encrusting base of the acros is much thinner than the branches itself and we usually cut the branches easily so you could imagine how easily it breaks.
