Thanks boys (and girls of corse)! Feels weird not checking the SPS forum first thing when I log in, as I am following the TOTM thread in Reef Discussion.

I can post better quality SPS pics from the TOTM in this thread if anyone want to see them. I like this one I recently added from a trade with a buddy.

Wow nice corals! Im curious as to how long you've run the XM 20ks and if you feel as if they give better growth than the XM 10ks in your experience.

Great tank!

I started out with 10K Ushio's, then went to 20K XM's. I am sure the growth is slower, but that is ok with me.

Even though I essentially started with all frags in this tank, growth never really presents a problem/issue for me.

I have heard of pegging corals, but never tried it.

Do you just superglue the frag to the rigid airline?

nope...

drill a hole in a small pice of liverock, then glue the frag to it. Insert the rigid tubing in the hole you just drilled, do not glue it in there as you may want a shorter/lonfer piece in the future.

Insert the frag/coral in the holes in your aquascaping.

Remove the coral whenever you so desire.

Thanks. That green is awesome - and the orange/red tips is what makes is stand out as an unusual piece (at least to a few of us). As this thread seems to be sticking around, and is a good reference for me that I willl be able to find, I may start adding some of my pictures to this thread that I have been contributing in other threads.

I will try and get to that soon - no idea there were subscribers

A lot of the photos I posted in the thread below are in the TOTM feature, however they may be higher quality here. I will post them in this thread, but you can also see them here.

Summary

Just a summary of all my pics from right now, in no particular order, but all in one place. This will be it for pictures for a while. I will update this thread when new things happen, or new corals enter the tank. Cheers.
