Charlie,

Do you or anyone have an ID on this staghorn?
How much did it go for if you don't mind me asking?

that's why I can't post pic, we'll see. Eric keeps it in Zeo tank, so maybe Zeo can answer the problem

you got that right. His zeo tank is awsome. Everything fluorescent like crazy. Pink digi instead of orange. All I know is eric uses zeo with great success. If you can keep those frags. without zeo then go for it. If not, then don't be surprise if things are not coloring up. Of course there is more than one way to accomplished the same results. JMO.
 
i have one of those abratonoides... i have a hard time getting it red... best i can do is pink tips and the rest kinda maroon colored

i do have an aquarium city red mille that holds up to its name

This thing is growing like a weed. You can't tell from the pics, but it's 7"x7"x6"

How long did you own the abratonoids? As long as it doesn't turn brown on me I'm happy.

GORGEOUS red mille by the way.

How long did you own the aratonoides? Is it a colony or still frag size?

As long as this piece doesn't turn brown on me, I'm happy.

abratonoides.... still have it... it was a large frag... i spread it around to a coupla places to see how it would do in each environment... i have had it about 8 months or so

one frag went brown.... another is in my frag tank doing the best... and the base of the original is in my display where it is pretty much white up top and brown towards the bottom (recovering from light shock is my guess)
 
Very nice. I bought one from RM and never had any luck coloring it up. It came in half bleached, browned up and never changed color again.
 
I have many frags from Eric, and I don't use ZEO and my colors are almost the same as his, except for the fluorescent hue's.

I use 20k helios supplemented with 6500k sunlight. I think that has something to do with it.
