    I was doing some cleaning the other day and noticed what a difference there is in coloration looking down into the tank versus through the glass - I'd try top downs but with my luck I'd drop the camera!
    Bill - your photo skills have improved dramatically in the last year - you're really getting some beautiful shots! Nice work!

    Thanks Bill, your pictures made this thread special; thanks for the contribution!

    I bet your lokani will look better than mine since I can't seem to stop fragging it. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/biggrin.gif

    Sexiest part about all of Sone's pictures are the blue cloves /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/wink.gif By the way I need some of these for my magnetic frag plug. Bill the pictures look great! I wish I could get some tops downs but with my other lens broke not going to happen right now /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/tongue.gif

    Hey Char, great to see you posting! Your tank looked amazing last summer when I saw it and I have been watching your thread on RC as well. I am amazed by the color and growth you get, you are definitely doing something right! /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif

    It's blue clove polyps. And as far as I know sone is the only one with a surplus of it. So it looks like you guys will need to go to sones and give him some of your money. But I warn you bring some cash because you will see lot's of awesome stuff you wont be able to resist buying.

    Hey Chris, Bill was right about the blue clove polyps. They are awesome because the are not invasive unlike GSP. They grow around everything and it really makes the corals look neat to be completely surrounded by them. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif

    Would this leather happen to be from Bullet's stock?
    I had something similar in my old tank and haven't been able to find what I originally purchased from him - it was fairly slimy and absolutely glowed under actinics!

    Hi Eric,
    I got mine from Jeanette (Beckerj3) so I am not sure where she got hers from.  I can tell you that they are super bright green when the polyps aren't out.
