Here's a pic of my meager 29 gallon Biocube. I have a more diverse set-up as far as coral selection goes, but I'm moving more towards SPS. Gotta love those ORA corals!
Amazing tank!
Lets hear some more about it!! Equipment? Dosing? Feeding?
I can see:
ORA Red Planet
ORA Hawkins
ORA Pearlberry
ORA Blue Tort

ooja3k, congrats on picking up on those! I'm fortunate in that my LFS is an ORA dealer! Just about everything is ORA. Besides the ones you mentioned, I also have an ORA Roscoe, Green slimer, Rose Milli, and my maxima clam is from ORA as well. And I also have a pair of Picassos. As far as specs, see post above!

Man is my face turning RED! Sorry 'bout that! I edited the list, Thanks for catching that for me!
