Oh, I forgot

Eric Borneman recommended par levels between 250-700

Troy

Here are a few of mine under two different types of light (both were taken with the bulbs a few weeks old)

Coral Phoenix 14K 250 watt MH XM 10K 250 watt MH

RBTA 155 175

Candy Cane 117 35 (I had to move it as it was stung by the RBTA and tested the lights to see what it was where I put it)

Appleberry monti 156 160

Bubble Coral 45 80

Acans 150 250

Hammer 115 200

Zoas 199 300

Superman monti 184 140 (I had to move it)

What I have found is:

par changes quickly from one spot to another-even a inch or so can make a big difference

Not all bulbs are the same-one of my XM 10k bulbs puts out only half as much par as the other

I plan on switching to LED's over the next year as I am tired of trying different MH bulbs and getting different amounts of par and also having to acclimate every year.

Are eagle eyes the ones with red centers, blue mouths and green skirts?

I have a sherman RBTA. Split about 2 months ago, so fully healed. Is approximately 8 inches, maybe more across when open.

I am interested in some montipora frags-more unusual the better.

I can buy or trade frags or RBTA, or par meter reading

Troy

i want the appleberry monti. The piece I got from you early, just died on me out of the blue a week or so ago.

I've had a six line for more than 5 years. I have tried a couple of fairy wrasses and he has killed them. But I have kept a green coris wrasse, a potter's leopard wrasse, multiple anthias, clownfish, firefish, green chromis, a mandarin goby, a royal gramma, an orchid dottyback, and a twin spot hog fish, without problems. He has never bothered my tangs.

I have some. I have a couple on a rock and then some growing on the back of my tank, I would have to cut off, so they would be free floating. I am at work right now and not sure how many are on the small rock, so I can't say price I would sell it at. Do you have any montipora frags you would like to trade?

Troy

I couldn't believe how much the par changed by moving the sensor just a small amount when I first got my par meter and tested my tank and other peoples tanks.

Troy

Interested in pump if you part out

What kind of lights are they under? Do you know the par reading for the different corals?

I am going to be testing his lights with my par meter, hopefully in the next day or two.

Very interested in appleberry monti and purple haze. Could you send me some pics?

Troy

Here is a picture. It is a few months old. I had re-arranged the live rock today and it took me all day and I didn't get a chance to take a current picture.

Still planning on getting pictures tonight or for sure Saturday as will be home

Sorry, was gone over holiday weekend, will get some pictures tonight or tomorrow
