That pice is called the raspberry milli I picked from from YR a couple years ago as a frag. I am not sure if John still has this piece or not. I think it may be one of the last pieces from that colony as it went shortly after I got it. Thanks everyone for the feedback

Thanks Frankie, I am always in mourning and I am always looking for new additions; thats part of the disease of reefkeeping

Happy Holidays to everyone who tags along with me and the banter of my thread

POW! I love me some PPT in the morning!

Mark how do you secure your frags in the display? Do you affix directly to the rock structure?

 

[Dejavu]

Mmmmmm .

 

[Dave's Reef]

Now you're just showing off, lol! :spin2:

Mark, is there a name for this piece? Sorry, but I'm not up on all the names that corals got over the last few years. I was too busy just keeping up my old tank and since everything was healthy, the new stuff went right by me. So, I'm trying to bone up on all the names.

Thanks!

Showing off? Me You must be pretty new to this thread :lol:

This piece was imported in '99. Its the Paletta pink tip. Even though there are a few knock offs floating around in so cal, I can assure you that this is the real deal

Nothing like Italian Roast and PPT

Dan, I try to just use IC get and get them into place. If I need to move it later, I will worry about that then. After I get everything looking nice, I plan on chaning some corals around an a month or so to get better lighting :twitch:

What kind of lighting do you plan on going with? Keeping the LAIII? Moving up to the 400w'ers?

I think your tank is the reason why im switching to LAIII from my LB :lolspin:

Nope, 400 watters are not in my future

As the corals continue to grow, a couple of my favorites are not getting the the love they deserve, so I will be moving a few pieces. I am happy with the lighting and the results they produce

 

[Dave's Reef]

Sorry Mark, I know you've covered this topic but just what lighting are you using currently? I know you're using 250's but what ballast and supplemental lighting are you using?

Additionally, if you don't mind, what's your light schedule like?

Thanks again
