Man that tank looks sweet and when it completely grows in it is going to be awesome. Good job man. If only I had more money to drop into mine. Lol

These pictures were taken under blue and white leds.

It has a green rim, electric blue spider web-like markings, blueish body, green ring around the bronze colored eyes.

Now I have a question for the chalice keepers.

Should I cut off the front 3 eyes seen in the old picture of the chalice and power feed them and try to color it up that way because right now the chalice has nothing to grow on so it grows very slow and its awkward shape makes it hard to spot feed.

Which ever you think I'll like the most. Lol.

Well you let me know as soon as its ready. In the mean time, of you're ever close to Wilmington, stop by. I'd be honored for you to take some pics of my new setup and get your opinion. You've got some serious camera skills. And a great eye for georgeous corals!!!

I will let you know on my tank and if I am in Wilmington. Thank you.

Thanks! Lol, I know the feeling. I have to spend time (recovery time from my previous order) saving before I can purchase anything.

Lol, I actually do have another frag of that one but it is still morphing so I am waiting for it to stop before it goes anywhere.

Nice looking corals and some great shot's. I am also a owner of a rsm 250. Just curious if you changed or added anything to your lighting? If so can you post up a pic of what you have done or pm it to me. I have been thinking of adding some led's or something atm.

Thank's

Thank you. I have not changed much of anything with the lighting. I run this combo 4 ATI Blue Plus, 1 Fiji Purple, and 1 ATI Aquablue Special.

I also have 3 stunner strips under the feeding flap part of the lid. I plan on adding more stunner strips in the future.

I have a bad news update. My acropora walindii that was one of the two severely damaged acros during its shipping is rtning (spreading from the damaged spots out) and it is not really large enough to frag nice sized parts off that aren't peeling so I believe it is not going to survive.

Man that sucks. If you've got a decent piece left, take gel super glue and our a bead of glue 1/8" above the RTN. Believe it or not, it'll help stop the RTN from going past that point. I've saved a few acros that way. Lost the rest, but the piece above the RTN made it. Once it had a chance to settle, I'd cut off the good piece and glue it onto a frag plug. But I wouldn't suggest doing it until it settled, stress. Good luck man, I hope you're able to save some of it.

KLR · Mar 22, 2012

I did that on the tiny pieces I could. However those were already rtning so I do not think I really helped.

KLR · Mar 22, 2012

Right now this one is just a rim and 2 eyes, very tiny. But, it will eventually have a blue body as well.

KLR · Mar 22, 2012

I am liking the colors I am seeing on this one so far.

Wasnt so sure about it at first, but Im glad you bought that!

KLR · Mar 22, 2012

Thanks!

I am going to let the acropora anthocercis stay on the bottom for a few days for light acclimation, but when I am ready to place it on the rocks should it not be placed anywhere? i.e. in very high light and high flow.
