mbarton2010 Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 So I won a Somatic UF-1 media reactor at one of my LFS anniversary sale I know nothing about this product 1 Quote Link to comment
pappadumplingz Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Just looked through your page, and I gotta say, you have some great frags. Don't have a media reactor myself, but it basically tumbles whatever media is inside it, which is beneficial for certain types of media Quote Link to comment
mbarton2010 Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 Some new pics. Grabbed a couple coral from the anniversary sale at FJW aquarium in Houston. https://instagram.com/p/BakQ-5MAvJb/ Oh and I changed my lighting to all blues. The acans have really loved it. I watched the Jason Fox video and he said that is what really makes the coral color up 1 Quote Link to comment

What I have and what I think you have are different than armors. They have a much more scattered pink center and also a teal skirt as opposed to brown/dark like armors. They are super sick so I'm hoping you got a good deal on them . I was just curious because I have been growing mine out for a while and got them as a wild caught probably a year and a half ago as a single polyp. Also I just noticed those magicians in the background of that picture. Man you have some sick zoas! 1 Quote Link to comment
