gioNVA March 20, 2008 Author Share March 20, 2008 Nice Francis! Is that yellow with purple tip the one you got from me? I'm not sure where I got that one. The one I got from you looks like a purple bonsai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoothtriqueter November 2, 2008 Share November 2, 2008 Very nice setup! I had a chance to see this in person today and it is breathtaking! Thanks for the RBTA it is looking great and settling in. We managed to get most of the starfish off before putting it all in. You should post another FTS so people can see how amazing it looks now!

gioNVA December 11, 2008 Author Share December 11, 2008 updated FTS taken late Sep 2008 *I think* The right side is a little dimmer because of different bulbs. I'm using 400W Icecap ballasts. Left side is running Reeflux 12K and 20k Radium on the right side. Photo is a little bluer in the photo but pretty close to the actual color.

jamesbuf December 11, 2008 Share December 11, 2008 Looking good. I'd love to see you switch the bulbs around, so we can compare the colors of the corals between the different bulbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gioNVA December 12, 2008 Author Share December 12, 2008 Thanks guys! Not TOTM quality yet. I've been battling majanos. I've removed about 100 so far and there's probably another 100 in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
