Sick...just sick!!

Thats what my sons friends say about the aquarium when the pass by and look at it!
Myself....I'm just pleased with the progress to date and the diversity of colors and shapes and textures.

When I finally decided to venture into the realm of SPS corals...color diversity and intensity was a primary motivation. There are very few hobbyists in my neck of the woods keeping corals like these....much less know about them....or how to care for them...but many of the local reefkeepers that have visited want to know more. They simply can't believe the difference from what they are accustomed to seeing.

I enjoy the texture/shape diversity as much as the color diversity.

My eye never knows what to focus on next...

I've even managed to assembly a touch of purple...and a tinge of peach.....

This is supposed to be red....and actually is a bit more reddish than my orange montipora digitata...this one is just starting to grow out.

Thats my version of the old "Weekend 6-pak"...hope y'all enjoyed he view.

Thanks for the eye candy. Sick, I agree. Just don't look at the impact on the budget thats what always scares me.

Impressive as always, those look great!

Thanks gents...I appreciate the encouragement...and as for the "budget"...well I currently have four clients and a total of five tanks that I maintain to one degree or another and the funds generated from that feeds my habit...I just "budget" the clients fees into my reefkeeping....makes moma happy and I get to extend my selections and equipment much easier. Its very possible that I'll soon be ordering 4-5 very nice frags....one I'm after in particular is a purple tort....Oregon/Bonsi/Cali...don't matter much to me...I just want a good healthy frag that I can call my own. I've located a few sources and a couple of fellow hobbyiosts have extended offers....soon.....very soon I hope. :yes:

Those pictures are absolutely amazing. I can't believe the colors. I'm sure you've done it many times before but can you put up a few pictures of your whole tank. I'd like to see the whole picture.

 

[nm reef]

Sure....nothin' recent....these are from about a month ago...

Good Idea on funding the reef. Do you want to fly up here this weekend and help me move my reef. Anything you break, you can have frags off of......J/K Its going to be a little scary. Again GREAT pics.
