How did I miss this? Looks great Adam! I think you would be even more pleased if you blasted it with more light. I've always told my customers that this acro seems to like an intensity of light unlike most other acros. Still one of my all time favs :)

The iwasakis are great. I'm glad you turned me on to them


Great indeed but they are getting harder and harder to find as not many people are using them these days. I ended up having to buying in bulk straight from Iwasaki last time i needed more:)

I am about to use my xmas code and get a frag of this. Been going back and forth to whether I want to spend this kind of money on 1 frag, but I decided to do so. :)

Hi Joe, I have a 90g 48" X24" with a Marine Orbit (only white & blue LED's) and 2 ATI's (Blue and Purple). I was thinking of adding 2 more T5's specifically a Fiji Purple and a Super Blue (Korallen). I'm trying improve some SPS but also want to keep my Chalice's and other LPS happy. Would 4 T5's and the basic Marine orbit be too much or help?

Good for you. Its a lesser known acro but its really nice. Even if you can't get all the colors its still a nice piece. Mine is getting pretty large now. Still not getting the crazy color adam is but good enough for me. I actually came onto this acro by chance, it was part of a two pack with another acro I REALLY wanted and turns out this is the nicer of the 2, by far!

My fiancée made my job easier, she liked it, so it made it a lot easier. @rovster by chance could you post a picture of yours. Thank you

First page my friend! Don't have anything recent. Tank has been in a slight funk for some time. Looks just OK now but its getting rather large. I'll try to get an updated colony shot soon.

At the top of this page Joe told Adam that he would be even more pleased if he blasted it with more light. I assume give it as much light as possible.

I agree mine is in moderate light and it looks like it wants a lot more.
