Heres a little eye candy for one of my obsessions in a 24"x24" frag tank on my 3 tank system..
After a great suggestion from a fellow R2R Member with the perfect name for this tank..
LD50 the perfect name for this glass box full of polyps..Enjoy

Just moved them all to their own tank under T5 lighting now,,I had them under MH which grew them good but made them brown out for say but they are starting to get their natural colors back slowly..
Now I can feed them food direct to try to escalate grow,,so far so good..

I love everything about this tank!! haha not many people around that are so dedicated to p. grandis but this takes the cake man!! I love it :D

Thanks for the compliments,,I always liked them for the size,color and simplicity..
I cant wait to hopefully grow them to real full colonies to the point I cant see the egg crate anymore in the tank...

Excuse a possible stupid question, but LD50 meaning?

To me that is lethal dose of 50%?

I went through the exact same thoughts, glad I'm no the only one!

I threw out a bunch of rock with zoas exactly because of that reason!
