[aquavista99]

It was available...good grower too.

Congrats, Ty! The HOTO is a true gem!

Alas, we have been reunited. I first got the HOTO (Heart of the Ocean) about 1.5 years ago after I had just moved and my tank wasn't fully stable yet. I lost it sadly and the originator, Peng, had lost his mother colony too.

Luckily, @jda had gotten a piece and was able to grow his own colony and I got a frag from him.

Beautiful, solid blue...

Av99 orange sunset envy I believe.

Yes, it’s the AV99 Sunset Envy. My Baton Rouge from you is solid red now. Have it under lower light.

What’s it gonna cost me?

Congrats, Ty! The HOTO is a true gem!

Thank you sir! I'm definitely happy to have it as part of the collection.

Ty, I have decided I don’t need my own SPS tank...I’ll save myself a lot of time and effort and just follow yours...

Its a solid plan... I wish I would have thought of it myself. Save me a lot of heartache and stress.

It kinda looks like the aquaman. I looked all over RAP for that one.

Keep me posted! I don't see polyps anyways due to the angels... Might as well have the filefish too.

Hey Ty, what PAR level do you get your best coloration on your Hungs RB?

It's getting better color at 325-350 under my radion hybrid tank versus 200-250 par under my T5 hybrid tank.

 

[Epic Aquaculture]

Good too hear. I have it in a little higher PAR but under the T-5 Radion hybrid.

BC reef ready grapejuice - finally branching after being an encrustment forever

Pengs Blue Monster - i love love love this thing

Cultivated reef electric miyagi - best pop out of the miyagis I've seen

RR Firecracker - best bang for your buck high end acro... Just gorgeous.

Oregon tort... No better blue than this. Still dominates the mono-color acros in my opinion.

 

[YHSublime]

That Oregon Tort is beautiful. I hear it's a slow grower.

That Oregon Tort is beautiful. I hear it's a slow grower.

I get about 1" of growth every 1-1.5 months. Its true initially that its slow but once it establishes as a colony, its a good grower.
