You have an incredible collection of SPS and the colors are amazing. What lighting do you use? I'd love to see a FTS and to know your camera settings. I'm with Reefer831 - looking to improve my photo skills.

I like that ora german blue, i have one question thought, are you dosing anything such as vopdka or zeo?

Very nice, hope to have some like that someday.

That crayola is very nice, loving the table that it grows out to. The Blue Ice is gorgeous too, great color in that tank.

i keep trying to move away from sps but then i see pics like these and it draws me back in - that plana in the first set is sweet

Great looking pic's indeed? I skimmed and I may have missed it but what lighting are you using? What setting do you get all the background shadows with?

That blue polyp granulosa is insane, I would kill for a piece of that lol

What are your tank specs?

Great job with the pics(beautiful corals too). Your ora blue tort looks quite similar to my(cali?) tort which has more green in it but the purples and blues seem the same.

I'm just doing the 2-part BRS for Alk and Ca. And the random occasional Mag that it comes with.

I"m using two 120w LED fixture that was build from China since I re-started this tank. It was fish only until Jan of last year, after a crash i had on the system a couple of years ago. Started to get back into SPS and zoas, haha.. And a little chalice now here and there now.

What are your tank specs?

The tank is a AGA 90gal RR and barebottom. Using a i-Tech 100 skimmer for the skimming and lighting is stated above, 2-120w LED. All SPS was grown from 1" frag, dont have the money to buy colony, haha..

ORA blue tort and cali tort look pretty similar to be honest.. ;) I dont know if it really a different coral or just a labeling thing..

This is a long shot, but is this amazing tank still running? If so please update the thread with one details and lots of photos. Many thanks.

You should be proud. That is amazing how far you have taken those frags. Now I am starting my search for a colony of ATL Crayola Plana - Thanks for sharing!
