Yea Boynton Beach. Im goin to be going down to Big Als in Coconut Creek this weekend hopefully and we'll see if they have anything worth buying, or if the price is right. I started with my monti cap and thats doing really well, so I know its possible for them to live well.

Cool there are some nice stores down south. The one on Griffin Road just east of 95 is nice. We only have a couple up here in the Jupiter and surrounding area. Got any pictures of the Monti?????

Beautiful Acro!

My Monticap is doing well, my birdsnest is doing well, but my acro that I bought a few months back has lost it's color.
I have noticed that it is growing, just not colorful like it was. I'm working hard to get my water perfect, but my toughest part is keeping my alk high enough. What do you do to keep your alk up?

Three 250 10k Coralvue MH's, 2-460nm 96w Actinicts and 2-420nm 96w Actinicts. Milliporas are fast growers the fastest in my tank it should be no time at all untill you see some serious growth. What did you pay for the ORA frag.....

Well, it's nice to know I'm not the only one having that problem. Does the Natureef Alk also boost the pH?
Here is my itty-bitty acro. I tested my water today and my alk is slowly coming up. I'm hoping once I get the alk up where it needs to be it will color back up again. I know it will take time though.

This pic shows my Monti Cap. It was only 1/4 this size two months ago.


And this picture shows my birdsnest, on top of the flat rock. I got it in November and it was about 1" long with just two tips.

I also have two Purple Digis, but no pics. But, stay tuned for my "One Year Anniversary" pics coming some time in the next week.
(Oh wait, you can see the Purple Tip Digis in the background in the second picture. But they are not purple.)
