Any idea what his is under lighting wise? I assume a lot higher par with how much lighter his in compared to yours which has a nice dark coloration.

I have no idea. This one isn't getting too much par thought. It's kinda off to the side in my frag tank.

Bubba where are the ugly corals at? I know there has to be AT LEAST one [emoji121]️

There is more than one, lol. I hide them away because nobody wants to see those.

Thank you!

Yeah the Pink Lemonade just keeps on growing. Starting to get too big and look disproportionate to everything else.

You could probably sell it and keep a nice big chunk for your self to match the other corals. Im sure someone would take it off your hands?

I have another nice sized colony of it in my frag tank I sell frags off of. Maybe once it touches the water surface I’ll swap the colonies and start again.

Bubba, nice meeting you at RAP a few weeks back. Do you have a picture how your SB Reef Bar's are installed? I just added mine on the side angle so they hang a few inches below the Sunpower but I was wondering if people are mounting them to the vertical side so that it sits flush?

here you go. I removed the screw that’s in the fixture already and just mounted it to that hole.

I am absolutely loving this milli. The body color is hyper pink and it stands out.

BC Hot pink milli

Thanks! Okay, so the same as I did. I did add another screw since the 60" felt like it needed another one but it looks like yours has held up just fine. Do you still run your same light schedule?
SB Bars 10:30-9:30
2 bulbs T5 12-8:30
All bulbs 1-7pm
My setup is the same and it seems that your corals look amazing so I am trying to copy. I hope you don't mind

I have not changed my light schedule in forever so it's the same as last time. Honestly though all my tanks run something different as I was too lazy to go to each tank and make it the same.
