And finally some kind of favia that's super highlighter green. This is what it looks like with no actinics. Excuse the twisty tie. Admittedly these pics were not a proper "photography" session it was more, "I got new stuff let me hurry and shoot before I get too lazy".

    Answer me this... do favias like the green one have to go on the sand? Because I want to put it up on the main rock structure. I just don't want to burn it (midway up in the tank.) Same question for the chalice. Midway up the tank too high for a chalice?

    You should take out that twist tie, it has metal inside.

    Any new coral should start low in the tank and move up gradually over time. Even a week on the sand is better than nothing at all. Glad to see a picture update of your tank finally.

    Hopefully you'll shoot a new image of the fungia plate. It's too fuzzy to appreciate this time.

    I have my favia low. Just an inch or two off the sand but on the rocks.

    From what I understand, chalice's are rather low light, and would likely do best low in the tank or shaded. :-)

    Very nice pictures. Now I want a yellow CUC! haha.

    my favia likes the bottom of the tank, and had better coloring under pc lighting than under my current t5's.

    Oooh, got a full tank shot?

    thanks guys! I was hoping you'd say otherwise since my tank only has 2 levels. Middle and high. But I may break down and put it on the sand.

    Marc I took the twisty out of course. I'm not happy with the full tank quite yet, even with all these corals it still feels empty. I wish my little zoa frags would fill in.

    look like your getting it filled up, at least you got some Coraline going for you I cant get mine to take off in the display tank to save my life. I feel you on the empty tho my 15 frags in a 180 is like driving thru Utah
