    I know what you mean Vinny, that's why I dedicated that one corner to the Zoo/shroom/polyp! I think they could of taken over my whole tank in less than a year. Can't wait to see how yours turn out. Cheers

    Awesome close ups zissou. I'm gonna have to try that, my phone won't pick up the colors of my easter egg chalice. That cyphastrea is glowing. You can actually see the bands on the star polyps.

    Thanks DSC! I'm still tinkering and the tank is looking amazing since the reboot, nothing like a 100% water change.
    Here is a shot of the lime Acro and green Stylo. limeAcropora.JPG

    So I am running a reefbreeders value led fixture which has two channels. Blues channel at 100% and white at about 60% They make much fancier fixtures, this model is not programmable. It's been a good fixture, but I will be switching to an Aquaillumination hydra 26 hyperdrive. Not sure if it will cover my tank so I will have to do some research.
