You'll get your best color on the blue one with 20k so if they are less put it close to an actinic also. Nice pictures! I have a good sized colony of the blue tipped one also.

Heh...after seeing the blob of glue under that tort in the first pic, I can understand how your tang got ahold of
a bite. DUDE - easy on the glue. :o You don't need even close to that much. ;)

Nice growth and pics! :-D

The coral will eventually grow over the glue as its base spreads. Using excess glue does kill a few of the polyps at
the base but the coral should make up for that if it has good growth.

Heh...yes Gary - I know that, but ****. :shock: No *wonder* you guys were asking about bigger tubes of glue! I get SPSs to stick with
a third of what is gooped onto that rock.
