Here's the before:

And after:

Before:

After: (ON THE RIGHT WITH THE PINK TIPS)

After:

Another before and after shot.

Pink/blue tip Prostrata
Before:

After:

By the way all these before shots were taken in January 2005.

Before:

After: (this one had a few issues and basically died out all the way and regrew so the growth isn't as extensive)

Wow looks nice man! Those top 2 frags look almost identical (before pics) as some frags I got from RM a while back.

 

[elephen]

That prostrata and millie or whatever it is below it look terrific man!

how long has your reef been up and running?

 

[LeftCoast]

Those are pretty awesome. Browned out colors can end up being some of the most beautiful colonies. Probably because you don't have high expectations for them .

 

[parshmar]

Don't change a thing. Your corals look awesome and are growing at a great pace. No matter how hard you want that new bulb, ballast, or whatever, don't do it.

Your corals are rockin'!!!

Wow! Amazing photos, growth, and colors...

 

[Wiskey]
