I should just give you my tank to take care of and I could enjoy it from afar! Great stuff as always.

Dude Marvin I must say you have the zoa thumb!

My rastas and Sour apples look terrible compared to yours. What do you attribute it too? Are they high in the light?

man, I'm just trying... :)

it takes a while for them color up and settle but when they do, they're two of the most stunning zoas around.. only thing I've done differently lately is dose ReefPlus every other day and the skimmer... :)

I've been using ReefPlus for as long as I'm into zoas... I stopped using it for a little bit and just started using it again... I'm getting good results again... one more thing I did differently was not do a water change for about 4 months... LoLz.. I don't recommend that though.. ;)

maybe I'll experiment on doing bi monthly 15%-20% water changes.. and if that works for a few months, I'll increase it to every three months.. ;)

That peace coral is insane.....Keep me in mind when it grows out...Just wow!
Glad to see you back in Marv, its better when you are posting some sweet shots. Did you get those aussies from TFG. He has had some awesome morphs in as of late.

Thanks Brad... :)

the last Aussie was from TFG... I don't get to come over there often anymore.. I normally get my stuff from trades or online nowadays.. :)

I need to add more aussies. My first one has babies all around the ring of it, so I must be doing something right. And to think, I thought you were DONE with LPS Marvin! :)

I'm pretty much done with Echino's... I'm only keeping 1-3 morphs... and a few other select LPS... :)
