    I have attached several shots of some of my best growers. Most of them are corals that have been in my tank since around sept of 2008. They have been through alot of different lighting, filter and flow changes until I feel I have the tank in pretty good shape.

    This is a le bali tricolor. One of my favs, incredable color almost completely purple with lime green polyps

    This is my nana acro. another one of my favs. nice purple color with the lime green polyps. what I think I like about this one is the branches are smaller and more compact.

    This is a tricolor I got from Eric (marinelife) probably close to 3 years ago. It has been through two different tanks and the crappiest conditions but has really done well in my 180 under the halides.

    The grape cap was better looking under the 20k bulbs but I will sacrifice the look for increased growth for now. Seems as if my other corals have colored up better under the 10k bulbs. Must be the higher par ratings.
