Some of the nicer pics I took. I need to get a better all purpose lens. The Tamron 90mm is great for frags and zoas, but terrible for acros, and the Nikon lens that came with my camera is terrible.

Looks great, very beautiful and healthy! I love the mix of coral types and the design. You’ve done an amazing job especially considering your move and switching from softies to sps to softies then back to sps! (Did I get that right?) Looks like you’ve got this hobby figured out!

Yeah although I always had a few SPS pieces in here. I still have all the softies jammed in a 20g cube.

Baby’s napping so time for an update.
FTS
I bought an Aussie snake skin torch that I couldn’t pass up. Very slick piece.purple snake skin texture tentacles with bright gold tips.
I also decided that the filter sock section of my sump was a waste of space since I haven’t run mechanical filtration in a long while so I cut it out, moved my skimmer and freed up a lot of frag rack space.
some closer pics of my corals. Steady growth and I’m really pleased with the colors. Nitrate bottomed out for a while so I started dosing nitrate again.

Couple pics I took today
WWC Pink Passion (left) and WWC Dragonslayer (right)
WWC Terra Red Colony
WWC Shark Attack - hard to get the blue on camera, but this one is turning out nice!
WWC King Fiji
WWC Hello Kitty
RMF Flavor Parade - bought a browned/greened out colony, but new growth looks great and the rest is starting to get more vibrant... hard to get the new growth color in pics, but very nice
Oregon Blue Tort is growing fast now, but is growing into a flat blob with maybe 2 branches? eitherway, this coral is hard to get the true deep blue color. The dark parts capture much lighter blue and the light parts capture as white spots.
Blue Stag - Thinking it might be a Acropora yongei?
BC Flamethrower Table - starting to get the blue tips and the green is turning a purplish red
And finally picked up a blue A. Hoeksemai from @gws3 which I have been looking for - this one is a Copps lineage piece - hopefully the brown will color up, but either way, the blue is very nice with the green inner coralites.

Hey @WWC, I got this as a banana peel acro from your ebay auctions, but the growth looks like a smooth skin and not like the colony pics on your site for the banana peel - the tips are blue (but doens't capture well in pics - camera makes it look whiter). Does this look like your typical Banana Peel growth?

Blue Heoki is looking awesome and starting to grow. I love the acros that don't need 18 months to encrust before deciding to grow
RMF Flavor Parade is getting some really nicely colored new growth and the old browned out parts are coloring up slowly.

Amazing acros and video!

Are you still using this setting on the stratons? May I ask for your light schedule? I'm using the same setup, but UV and violet channels on 100%.
I go back and forth on increasing white to like 43, then I go back to 39... can't quite make up my mind.
Your acros are so nice, good luck rehousing them!

No I’ve tweaked it since then. I now run blue, Royal blue, UV and violet at 100%, cyan and red at zero and white around 25ish or so to match the whiteness I like.
Cyan really washed out colors in my opinion.
