Bigshow frags was nice enough to send me a copy of the stock image from their site. I can not wait for the orange to come in a little more. Right now it is a peach. I freaking love this coral. The stuff they bring in always amazes me.

So did your orange tip colour up? how does it compare to the yellow tip black torch?Bigshow frags was nice enough to send me a copy of the stock image from their site.

Colored up a lot better. It likes more blue and that pulled it out. I dropped a frag off to a member last week and it turn Halloween orange just while it was floating in his tank. It was cool to watch.
It is not as bright as the green, which I have, I still want some yellow. It is on my to buy list. That and an orange torch. I am not buying more for a little bit now. Actually selling a bunch to finish my next project build. Then I will be looking at adding some more rare torches, hammers, frog spawn and/or octospawn.

Wow. I just looked at your pictures. I wish I had your talent! That is amazing-although my husband would never stand for it! LOL!!
Almost time to archive this and start a new one I think. I added the Octo BioChurn 120R Biopellet reactor a week or so ago and nitrates are not detectable on my RedSea test kit.
Phosphates are also running at 0, guess it is time to start spot feeding.

So after the near disaster with the cracked overflow I wanted to make my tank even quieter. It was set up with a full siphon, trickle and emergency. It was a simple Herbie. It was pretty quiet, but not quite where I wanted it to be. My overflow is to compact (12"x6"x4") to do a standard bean animal, so I improvised. I Still run 1 full siphon with no pvc as shown. The second pipe is the trickle and I used 1" threaded to 1" T with a cap drilled. Then all I have room for is a 90 degree 1" elbow spigot that comes down right above the full siphon. It starts up perfectly every time and is dead quiet. I actually opened my storage room door so that I could hear my sump flowing so that I knew it was still working. Other then seeing the surface water being disturbed, I would not even know it was running. I will be doing the same to the seahorse tank soon.
I can not get a decent pic, so here is a sketch.

Torx would you not want a strainer on the full siphon?
With the valve blocking s good portion of the pipe , any snail or fish isn't going to make it all the way down the pipe, and get stuck at the valve and create... problems

There is a covered overflow box they would need to get through first. So I am not too worried. No less protected then a standard bean.

Looking great dude, I think I see my green slimmer in there
Nothing too fancy. I know I have valida, some yellow acro that I picked up at fragfest, Ultimate Bonsai and a purple with neon green polyps acro. I also have 2 more that I have no idea what they are. I need to get my T5's back up and running with new bulbs, hopefully next weekend. The 2 that I do not remember are not coloring with the LED's. I do not think they are good for full tank of SPS. I think that is it for acro's. I also have a Green blue tip stag, tons of green slimmer, BRANCHING CYPHASTREA, green branching monti, tones of pocillapora and of coarse red and green cap out my ass.
