Keli's 20 Gallon Kitchen Build

Those palys don't burn your Lobo? We need an actinic thread as I know some of these look like fireworks when the royal blues are on.

No that's a really wicked lobo.It actually caused the variety to melt and I had to move them.Generally speaking brains will not tolerate zoanthids of any kind.It's the only thing that will keep them in line so to speak.In my opinion and observations,of course.

Not the best picture,however it captures their complexity well.

Mixed frag with Bert's Fire and Ice and Pina Colada Polyp.The Bert's F+I are notably more aggressive.

And a picture from my sump.I really need to get a full sump shot as it has changed quite a bit.About 6 months ago my husband gave me his old LED fixture.So now I am able to grow rocks like this;

My favorite palys.Darkness below the surface with the ability to become pure,brilliant white.These do not like to be fragged or manhandled in any way.This makes them a challenging variety.

[/url]

They look an awful lot like a type of nuclear winters, do they have a name? I bet they are a type of paly that shares a Coenenchyme which makes they much harder to frag, especially if they are a variety that incorporates calcerous rubble\rock in their mat.

Yes,Badx those are the Nuclear Winters.I am hoping they will develop more of the light coloration of the mother colony.I just have yet to find the sweet spot in my tank that will make them happy.

I somehow managed to win the PNWMAS Teco Zoa grow out challenge.As a result I won this heroic Purple Heart Enchinata;

Speaking of PNWMAS,here's my scores from the last meeting I attended.My first trades I am so proud of myself.

" />

So I've got Mandingas #97 milli,Joker zoas (dead already) and Miami Vice chalices.

Here's a Green Aussie Arco I got from the local guy.He was nice enough to let me choose my frag.This one looked like a lovely little emerald city to me.

The coral I won from the raffle:

Our Colby Clowns.These are two of only five in Oregon.To the best of my knowledge.

A long polyp montipora,before I placed it in the system.

The Bali Acro I got from Bert.Also right before moving to my tank.

I LOVE THESE CORALITES!

So this next post is going to make me look like I have too much time on my hands.But I assure you I don't.Came across these "solid gold" porites frags and pieced them together.

My contestant for the current PNWMAS Grow out contest.I am looking forward to the results of this competition.Although my system is not geared to fast growth,I expect my piece to impress the judges.Quality over quantity always.

A quick,recent cell phone picture of the main display.

I love that acan, super envious. I know how they are super slow growers but one day we need to trade again.
And might I also say that your tank is looking Gooood. It is going to be killer once some of those frags catch up to the colonies.

Thanks Bert.Maybe we will trade someday.

I finally took the time to right down all my corals.It made me feel more thankful for all the bounty I have.
