Hi charlie, Welcome to Reefland!
It looks like you have some beautiful stags in your reef and it looks like a couple of them are pretty large! Are you using strictly 20k's on your tank?

Yeah, I'm running 6 400w radiums with vho actinic supplementation for dawn/dusk effect. I really like the color! I know alot of people think the tank is too blue, I don't think so.

We are running just 2-20k 250w DE bulbs on our 75 and like the color too! I don't think long term we'll be able to keep some of the vibrant pink and yellow colors on some available SPS; everything seems to go blue and green which is ok too.

Reefland,
I have had trouble keeping the yellows also. I got a yellow mille that has gone to a green with yellow tips. That's not all that bad tho, I can live with that
pats fan1130,
thanx for the welcome and the compliments. My tank and it's inhabitants appreciate it.400 Gallon Reef Log

We picked up a yellow milli last weekend that needs some doctoring but we hope it will retain it's coloration as it comes back to health in our reef.

When I got my yellow mille, there wasn't any water in the bag at all. Fed Ex quit playing football with it when the box got wet
. I put it in my fuge and it had it's polyps out within 15 minutes. I was blown away. And they say these corals are fragile.

Hey who let that guy in
Hi Charlie,
Welcome
Charlie has a light pink mille with blue tips that turned deep red under the 20,000K's. I like the color better than the original way it was under the 10,000K's.
Regards,
KevinSPSguy
