Updated shot of Aussie elagans acro with W.B. corrected. I'm unable to capture the brightness of this beauty, it shines out from across the room. Truly a rare SPS.
Adjusted the W.B. on my camera and tried taking a better picture of this Aussie SPS. By far it is the favorite in my tank (until early March)

Brooks that is Mother Nature brother.
Check out this bad boy. Only one of about 5 frags in the country!
And this is the Baby Brians Watermelon getting down on some P.E. Mysis last night.
And here she is this afternoon all fat and happy.
Doesn't have a name but it came from Fish n Frags a while back. I split it with a buddy and we each have 6-8 heads now. It was 80 bucks for one single head!
Gabe you should try the new salt by Tropic Marin (bio-actif) It's amazing and price isn't too bad either. I think Kingfish has a few buckets available.
Important things to know when keeping acans.
1. They do not grow fast at all. But if you spot feed EACH mouth they will grow faster. I typically feed my acans about once every two weeks and I do so after the lights have gone out or early in the morning when it's still dark outside. Make sure to leave the pumps off for about 30 minutes or so.
2. Keep your MG levels up above 1200, anything lower than this will stop all growth and cause tissue loss if levels are long for a long period of time.
3. Acans like shade. Unlike SPS acans will "color" up better if kept in the shade. My acan garden gets in-direct light reflected off the side glass panel and they are very happy. I have moved a few up before and in a matter of days they turned brown.
Hope this helps.
Dude sexy rimless! This will be a sweet set up and I imaging you have some good ideas for aquascaping eh? Let me know if you need any browned out sps.
Glad you got it moved in and good to have you back Gabe.
p.s. I miss not seeing you on Weds. just a little
So sorry to hea. I have a 14 month old son and couldn't imagine what I'd do if something were to happen to him. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your sister.
Second water change was done last Sunday and I'm very impressed with growth and color. Some polyps that were brown have turned to a bright blue color! I'm hooked for sure.
