Thanks guys. Hopefully it continues to head in this direction

The only two that are wierding me out are JF Flame and Vivid's Rainbow Delight. VRD is always finicky but fox flame just hasn't made much of a rebound. Has anyone experienced Flame going all red in to high of PAR? Not a single yellow tip on the whole colony.

Killed flow and turned the shutter speed way down to try and get less noise in my pictures. I had to go so low handshake became a big issue so only a couple came out at all. I need to get a new filter, these ones cause little smudges in the images now.
Anyway I'm really loving how this silly string is turning out. It's gonna make for an awesome colony.

Nice! Yeah, when the silly string starts to take off, it's virtually confetti's sister or cousin, it stays nice and hairy. I still have a nub hanging on. Hyperberry looking great! I love the shortcake coloring.

Yeah I love how hairy it is so far. Hopefully it's got enough flow to table out and stay kinda tight like your confetti colony. I may pick up a Pinky the Bear acro to get 3 different color variations going of it.

That hyperberry is nuts. I have to pull red out of the picture or it just looks false under blues.

I honestly think that the silly string is the same species as confetti, just a different color morph. I've seen some great pics of pinky the bear, cool piece.

The new acros pics look awesome! Love the hyperberry. Hopefully mine grows out to look as good.

Pinky the bear has always been on my list and several weeks ago, I got one. I have a sizeable confetti colony already and will also compare once Pinky grows out, since I have often heard they are similar too.

Nice! Confetti takes the cake for me but the pinky the bear was super nice in my last system. It was just starting to really start to take off when I transferred. It's a cool piece for sure.

Yeah the hyperberry was a spontaneous buy when picking up other frags but it's turning into one of my favorites. It's like an extremely colorful strawberry shortcake, love it.

I want a classic shortcake for my tank, but after seeing your Hyperberry, I may have to change my mind?

Well ya know you’ll have a frag if you want it. I figure another 1-2 months and the right branch will be ready for your tank

Few newbie millepora and what I believe is some kind of smooth skin.

I'm also picking up CC Bahama Mama and Heliarc Prostata. Potentially WWC little red ferrari. Still undecided on that piece.

I'm using some of that Stax rock to mount frags along the bottom pane. It's heavy and just flat enough to get them off the bottom. I plan to add smooth skins down there and if possible millepora. I know the flow is good, pretty sure the light will be enough too. It could turn into a nice bottom level of acros if it works out.

In that second pic you've got what look like two of the same frag next to each other. How much luck do you have frags joining each other? Ive had mixed luck where I'd say half of mine end up encrusting over the other...instead of combining.
