Reef Lighting and Good Diet = Awsome Color

[Anubisscott]

Not long ago I got a second tank when I moved so my F2 Male would have his own tank. It was a salt tank and ofcourse had lighting more suited for a reef tank. Since I have had those lights my tank grows bright green algae, but thats not the only thing thats gotten brighter in color. My F2 Midas' color is amazing. He is slowly fading in spots and almost looks like he will get a mask aswell if you look closely. To think in a few months I may have a "Creamsickle" Midas again is exciting. Many may like the Barred, but the Creamsickle is where it is at.

Nice! I use a combination light 50/50 10K/6700 PC over my RD. It gets the red to pop and the 10K brings out the bule hi-lites on the edge of the fins. I like the green alge too!

He's coming along nicely. Now do you have any similar males you can send my way?

Nice, the green algae with a black background/sand looks great.

Why, so you can sell them like the last ones I sent you way. I actually PMed ya on yahoo last night but you logged off. I don't have any his size, but tons of babies that you could grow out.
