Jim thanks a lot! The pink milli isn't mine but if I get a piece you're first in line for a frag. That other purple/blue coral is doing awesome. It put on a lot of growth but the color changed a little. It has a green tint along the bottom similar to a cali tort. I'll try to get a ood shot of it.

The full tank shot is great, but I perfer closeup of all the sps .. You don't think that is asking too much, right ..

CTX you want close, here you go. I think this shot is just about the best that I can get with my camera.

Looks great Rich!!!

Since you transfered your SPS to the new tank have you noticed any color differences with them?

 

[jackson6745]

Thanks Shaun. The colors changed a lot. Most corals that were faded in my 65gal darkened up into a deeper color (red, blue, green etc). Corals that never colored for me in the 65gal are colored up in the 120.

From your pictures you can really tell a big difference!!!

Would you have any idea why? it is really an interesting reef phenomena!!

A more stable PH, mor flow, and more actinic lighting may also be a factor.
