Amazing colonies, Tim! Are you still having issues with alk? The corals do seem a bit lighter than last month.

I am glad to see the new pics with the new light. How is the red robin reacting? I still have my eye on what that is going to do.

i swear, i can't get the white balance figured out on this camera at times . some of them browned out as i lowered my alk but in the last week they started to color back up. any coral in the middle section were exposed to a defective reeflux 12k (burned pink) for a few days until i got the replacement

marc, the red robin is hangin in there in its new spot (way up high). i'll relocate it if it lightens up within a month. i'll keep you in mind for an upcoming PL frag

Tim, looks awesome! Since you liked the reeflux 12K so much I ordered them for my new tank.

Hey Tim,

Nice looking shots of an amazing collection! Especially of the PL, Oregon Tort, and Lime in the sky. They look so freaking bright. If you so kindly would please put me in line when frags of anything you posted is available . By the way when can I take you up on the offer to stop by and check out your tank? I just saw Karl's this Sunay and his was pretty sweet!

 

[pbetito]

Sam, quit FOLLOWING me Thanks for the awesome frags the other night Tim, they look fantastic and have aided me in even longer amounts of time wasted going OOOOOOO and AAAAHHHH!
I have a few new things for you and will deliver sometime this weekend maybe.

 

[tfp]

i took just a few more

Pam's yellow milli

Pam's crayola table

some yumas

thats all folks!

 

[tfp]

sam and paul, i'm only free saturday evening from 6-8pm. this weekend is jam packed with activities ranging from basketball, cycling, beach volleyball, running, swimming and family time too !

 

[bkmorris]

hey tim, everything looking good how has your yuma quest been going?

Is the crayola table the one John has been trying color up?.....he was saying it should get some purple the other day and yours looks like it has. On second thought, I think he said he was wild?

What are you using for an algae control and cleanup, you rocks look really clean.....nothing but SPS and water!!! looks great!!

I think I am winning the bug battle......your right PE is already better!!

 

[tfp]

dots, the crayola came from pam who got it from exotic aq many years ago. its coloring up nicely but is nothing compared to her colony in its prime!

oh, i do have algae...believe me. but it stays in check with my snails and filtration. thats great news about the pe!

 

[Unarce]

Yes...Pam's Crayola Table is one of my all-time favorites. Wish I had kept it when I switched tanks. I might have a pic somewhere.

 

[Unarce]

Found it! It's the one right smack in the middle.

Crayola Table (A. desalwii)

I don't even remember who I gave it to

BTW, Marko9: This pic was when my old tank was under the Giesemann Megachrome Blue (no actinic). I found it to be a nice balance. A little less blue than say, an XM 20k or Phoenix 14k. A lot like the Radium on HQI.

The crayolas I think are underrated pieces.
