@therman
Beautiful specimens sir!
What are your params?

Nothing too special...only thing I really test for is KH, try to keep it in the 8.9-9.4 range. It is a large stable system of about 800g total volume with a GEO 1218 Calcium Reactor. The lighting is a mix of old DIY Cree fixtures I built 2008-2010, and some newer Reefbreeders Photon v2 LED fixtures.

insanely nice!

How often are you doing water changes and what salt?

Sporadic and infrequent! Haha...basically just top off with new saltwater as I take it out for shows or packing frags to ship. Otherwise I do about 40 gallons every 2-5 months :) I've used Reef Crystals since 2006.

#fakenews I believe this to be a marketing strategy. Just kidding, glad you started this, just don't tell my wife. :cool:

Well it is a lot easier to link to here than to send photos individually to everyone who asks what something looks like! ;)

Tim, this one has become one of my favorites; it compliments the typical Bali SC very well, and it was developing the orange in even lower light. As I moved it up higher, man, that orange really comes out!
