Bill, it looks terrible with all of those overgrown acros. Youre in luck because Im buying bone cutters and I am willing to come over and help you out :D

Everything looks great, that is an Oregon tort from fragfarmer, it is the same as mine that I got from them. Keep it up!

[Texreefer]

looks like I will have to start trading with you as well:bigsmile:

[apedroza]

Nice Corals Bill. Why do my sea world blue milles looks so much fuzzier than yours??? I have 2 that barely show the blue but ALOT of PE!!

[Texreefer]

anthony, mine is the same way

[erebus]

Very nice Bill!

[Bill S]

I don't have the crazy PE that everyone else seems to have, on ANY of my SPS - and it's always bothered me. But, they look good and they grow well.

I'm guessing it's one of these 2 things:

1) I have angelfish - one Flame & one Emporer/Imperator - but neither seems to nip at all

2) I feed once a day, in the late evening, about an hour before the lights go out. This is not done intentionally, it's because I work late and forget! My "mix" includes a lot of coral foods - baby brine, daphnia, rotifers, oyster eggs, cyclops, LOTS of phyto & zooplankton. Maybe they are fat & happy?

Seriously, I have no other ideas.

Why do they call it "tricolor"? Are the polyps the third color?

[Bill S]

Sorry, been out of town skiing for the weekend... As far as I know, that's the reason...

Lets see a full tank shot, Im not sold on the Helios yet.

Jim, Ace took these shots about 6 weeks ago:
