rmf may have frags available or you could post a wtb thread. if your params are stable and good then it should be fine

how are you guys getting the orange on the aquasd? i just got mine over a month ago and finally found a permanent spot for it yesterday. Jverna, what type of lighting are you using? here is a pic of mine for reference.

Mine was a lot more pink under my LEDs, but under my t5 lighting is has a lot more orange, but still a little pink in there. My PC Rainbow is pretty orange, not like the pic on Sonny's site.

Can someone clarify this ?
I see an Ultimate's Rainbow Acro and the Rommel's . I get it that an Acro is a milli but are they the same two corals?
They sure look different to me .

You're right. Ultimates rainbow is different from rommels rainbow.

That colony of rommels rainbow is absolutely insane. Who's tank was/is that? That is the nicest orange stick I've ever seen hands down.

I can tell you I've seen that Rommels colony in person & it is more yellow than any type of orange.

Another friend has the same acro & again it looks yellow on the coralite edges..............still a very nice acro. I believe all from the same colony. Also, that colony is gone.

Here is my orange version acro............orange coralites & red polyps.

Here it is when smaller, you can see the orange a bit better with retracted polyps

More light intensity also seems to show the orange better. Once this acro gets bigger it should be a beauty.

BigE, what happened to the colony?!?

Jeff's new job had him on the road continuosly & the tank suffered.


Acanholic,

I aquired my frag from a local reefer & he originally bought the frag at a swap in Columbus, so there isn't really any vendor or name to track.
