That
Nice! It's always fun to explore another aspect of the hobby. Did you use a top down porthole to take the shots? I think getting one of those instead of shooting through the glass helped me a lot in taking clear photos.
that is thru the glass on my 29g. It’s a fun thing to explore and do. Do you have recommendation for the top down photos? I got a photo booth 3D printed to take pictures of the corals. It’s on an angle to make it easier

That's great! I use an avast marine porthole to take my pictures.



Wow that monstro is very unique! Do you know what type of acro it might be?
I believe it's a loripes. I've had this one for years and it is certainly one of my favorites

Some interesting developments, I had noticed some green specks before but it's pretty obvious now that this one grafted. And just in time for Halloween considering it's the

Amazing pics and coloration!
Do you like the g5 blue?
Main difference with g4?
Thanks
I do like the G5 blues, so far all the corals have done well. The main difference I've noticed is the spread and intensity of the lights. A lot more light than the g4s and much more spread as well.

Beauties. Goals. I was wondering how often you test water and if you use a doser to maintain.those results. I've thought about getting the Trident from Apex and doses with probes. I want to get to your level

Are you sure that's not GFP?

I think GFPs cause corals to "grafts" but I could be wrong about this.

I use a calcium reactor to maintain my parameters and test about three times a week. After setting up my calcium reactor and dialing that in it was pretty much set and forget!

What levels do you maintain on nitrate and phosphate and alk?
I see you have a nice pack for sale for Christmas so curious about parameters of the frags.
