    I see alot of people selling frags all the time, but I never get to see the big parents.
    So who has the big colorful corals we all dream of?  I want to see them!

    I am growing some VERY colorful Cyano and some really vibrant green bubble algae ATM.

    My corals for the most part all have great colors but the algae is really bummin' me out.

    Image upload didn't work right...you might want to try to upload them to Photobucket or something first.  All I see are broken links.

    I agree that FishBrain has quit the tank, some beautiful SPS corals. PotRoast might be too humble to say anything but he also has an incredible tank with some HUGE colonies.

    That is what I was talking about.

    That frogspawn is incredible!!!!

    Nice to see some real growth there. Do you do any time lapse shots like monthly or quarterly?
