Thanks! i noticed most people are starting out with dry rocks.. personally i prefer the look of live rocks.. bought them off a reefer who keeps SPS only.. Great quality indeed!

I hate to admit that i bought the goniopora without knowing its difficulty level.. I thought it was just as easy as most LPS.. but so far its opening pretty well and i hope i can maintain it that way.

Tank's been running for 3 1/2 months now! Heres a ton of pictures for the long holiday!

I first started with 2 frags of SPS thinking it'll just be for fun since my main love is zoas. Well i still love zoas but my tank's becoming more SPS dominated as time goes by!

Bali Green slimer. Bought it with white patches, right now the skin are growing on it! love the PE too.

Blue Millie.

One of my all-time fav. Tri-color valida!

My brown SSC frag. Bought it brown, till now still brown..

Bubble gum millie. the pink is starting to show!

Sun set millie.. still encrusting

stag? was given to me by a kind reefer but it was brown.. now its kind of like teal-ish color.

No idea what's this.

Purple valida. noticed the end part of the branch is purple. thats the new growth!

Acropora Selago.

purple polyps digitata

Pink BN.

One of my first sps! start off as a dying piece but managed to bring it back to life..

Deep water acro.

Pink millie apparently lost some pink but PE great as ever..

Rose red millie.. color still holding..

Some brown colonies i bought.. Lets see if i can get the color back up.
