More Frag Pictures!

[MCary]

Okay I'm bored. Here is some more before and after picture of frags I got on the 21st of August.

When they arrived:

3 weeks later under 10K metal halides:

I mounted them on their sides because I was told they would encrust faster and branch more. We will see.

Good work. You are doing something right.

This one is more bumpy. Its an A. Yongii. They called it a yellow slimer, but its a green slimer. Why do people sell bleached corals as some kind of rare breed. Jeesh!

Here's a better shot of the coral on the left when it arrived. Not too exciting but I really like the blue tips forming on it.

BTW, I got these from a grab bag of frags from reefermadness, (except the A. Yongii), If anyone know what this one is let me know.

what brand 10k's are you using Mike?? Frags look like they are really responding to them.

I have Aqualine DE 10,000K 250 watt bulbs on a Aqua Medic Ocean Light T5/Metal Halide Combo. They came with the fixture. I had one burn out recently and I've had such great color development with them, I bought the same ones to replace. This coral was tan with pink tips when I got it:
