So you were happy with Riverside? This is the first I have heard of them.

Also, how you liking the Fiji Purple? The ATI Procolor was not my cup of tea so I'm trying to figure out a good 4th bulb. Was looking a the 75/25 bulbs, but the FP may be an option too.

yup.... quite happy with Mary and Riverside Corals... :)

the Fiji Purple is pretty nice... compliments the 22k AquaScience well... I'm probably going to replace the ATI Blue+ to Blue special to see how that's gonna look... the light combo I have now works out great esp for newly arrived corals... I place them on the bottom of the frag tank, sometime under a shelf rack so they can acclimate... I normally leave the new arrivals in my frag tank for a few days to make sure they are happy before moving to the main tank.. :)

Ahh got ya. Right now I have 2-Blue+ and 1-Aquablue Special. I need something to hit the purples, hence my interest in the 75/25 or FP. Glad things are going well in your tank....I'd love to know how you find all the space for this stuff :)

Heya Marvin!

Do you have an updated list of your feeding/dosing regimen/schedule somewhere?

:D

I think he just puts his hand over his tank and says "GROW". Light from above comes down, shining on the tank and the corals multiply before his eyes! :snicker:

One question and a comment:

Are these the ones you call "Mandarin Orange?" As an aside this pic gave me a big smile

Thx for your reply Marvin,

I spent several nights after the kid's bedtime going through about 30 pages at a time. I really enjoyed the "POTD" section up front describing tank conditions, progression, lineage etc.. I also enjoyed the progression of your photography skills from the beginning to present.

I still mourn the absence of the big pink yuma (did this one go to Junior?) and hoping that if it is not in Juniors tank that you have tabs on it. There is one that is about the same size but blue in a local store here . . . Lovely!!!

yeah, I'm gonna start the PoTD when I get more time... or might just do a Photo of the Week... I also miss the Huge Pink Yuma... I had her for 3-4 years before giving her up... she went to a good home and last I heard still going strong... :)
