    Thank so much for the kind words. The tank I got them from was lit with 400 watt halides so they were colored good, but they have changed coloring alot in my tank under different lighting. The Blue voodoo has improved big time since I got it. The biggest change was the pink lemonade acro. Its still small but was brown and terrible looking and now is gorgeous but still small. Im amazed myself how much color they have and how massively they have grown in such a short time.

    As far as secret I couldn't tell ya. I always wondered that when I saw tanks that inspired mine. What do they do that I dont do. I do nothing out of the ordinary. I feed regular pellets with occasional oyster feast. My light period is 9 hours with 1 hour before and after with 4 3ft t-5s. I use Lumenarc Mini reflectors. I swear by the bulbs I use. I run 250 watt Radium 20k bulbs on electronic ballasts. Absolutely the best color of any bulb Ive yet seen. Plus the PAR, which I have measured, is really good for a 20k bulb. Pretty much in line with a 14k and some 10ks. I vodka dose and have for almost 2 years. Water changes with Reef Crystals every 2 weeks, 25 gallons. I run Bulk Reef Supply ROX carbon changed with water change in a reactor. I maintain chems with Bulk Reef Supply 2 part. I go through a lot!!!!! A gallon lasts me just over a week. I used to have a fuge, but nutrients are so low I cant even get Chaeto to live. Other than that, nothing special. It just does its thing.
