Those are some of the best looking corals and frags I've ever seen. What's that red one in the first pic.

I am going out on a limb here,...But I would guess to say the first one is a Montipora Setosa....

Very nice and clean setup. Will you be housing everything underneath, or does it go to a fish room somewhere?

OnlyCrimson · 05/04/2008, 09:50 PM

You corals are awesome! All under 250w Radiums?

143gadgets · 05/05/2008, 07:48 PM

Panic - Everything will be housed underneath.

Crimson - You got it! Radiums and VHO actinics.
