Very nice! Where do you have your PC Rainbow at? Mine's getting about 250 PAR and has the exact same color. I've never been able to get the deep blue base and deep orange body that's pictured on PC's website. I like the Superman, too. I have a really big colony of it:)

Hey DB, Hope all is well! The base of the coral and the coralites are pretty consistent in all types of light levels. Where you will get the change in the blue/green coloration is in the growth edge. Its all dependent upon the light levels. I've gotten all different shades of blues. The only time I have ever gotten the deep blue color is when the growth edge is in a shaded area. The superman is an awesome coral. Its just started to POP. I'm getting much quicker growth now. Can you post some pics of your colony?

Very nice! The bubblegum milli is my fav out of the lot. Your coral growth has really taken off. DIY a few Royal Blue LED's and watch your corals POP with colour like you've never seen! If you do, dont use any lens, you dont want to add much PAR, just accent the current lighting.

James, I always enjoy looking at the pictures of your tank. I am hoping that mine can be half as nice like yours in the future. I am curious how long has the tank been running?

I'm not very good with the camera and it's hard to get a pic because it's at the back of the tank and growing on the back glass, but here's a front and side shot.

Looks like the front shot is coming in upside down, so here's a link. https://www.dropbox.com/s/0p69d9i0227jx15/superman_colony.jpg

Thanks for the comments everyone! LEDs for the extra pop may not go on this tank, but I do plan on buying the new LED/T5 combo for my next tank. I agree, the blue should give it just enough pop. :) The tank has been running for a little under two years. For one of those years (when starting zeo), I did not have any growth. I had to learn the hard way how important feeding was. @DB, that is one MASSIVE PC Superman Table. That may be the single largest colony that has been documented. Congrats!!!

Hey Flounder, Thank you for the crack comment :) I do have a melenarus wrasse, but I also have a file fish, pygmy angel, yellow tang, and 5 chromis. You may be referencing db1317's pics above. S/He has some awesome colonies that I am very fortunate to have on my thread.
