Nice coral...kinda of a side question but I see people saying ORA all over the place. What exactly is ORA? Thanks

Naka, where do you have that BN placed in coralation to your lighting? Mine is under 400 watters and does not get real green.. I can not go much lower in my tank though.. What type of lighting do you run and temp?

Peace and TY, Jeff

[naka]

Hi Jeff, I had it high, but then moved it to middle of my tank. That's when it started to take off. As far as the green color, it's under AB 10k's 250 de. spplemented w/ vho actinics. Do you have the same coral from ORA?
Oh, my temp is currently about 76 - 78, but during summer 80 - 82.

I'm glad I checked this thread. I picked up this frag about 2 weeks ago for $10 but had no idea what it was. I think it's the same as yours, Naka.

[naka]

Yup, same as mine. Your's going to look like mine in about 3 months. I always had success w/ ORA frags. I see you have some fanworms. You can get rid of those w/ Copper Bands.

I'm real close w/ my lfs here in houston. It's cool b/c I get to order corals and fish w/ them. What frags are you looking for Nick? Have you see this site? http://img16.exs.cx/img16/7482/alveopora8li.jpg[/IMG]]country corals

[gqjeff]

Naka, yes mine is an ORA BN also.. I will move it lower and see if that helps color it up.. I do not run actinic though but do run 20K xm's.. I am going to hook up my IC660 and either run t5 supps or vho actinic.. Have not decided yet..

that could be a green polyp stylo. I got one like it from Upscales. I also have the ORA green birds nest. same color on both.

[naka]

That should work Nick. Mine gets random flow via 2 Tunzes and it's half way down my tank. What's your bulb? AB 10k's will make your sps grow absolutely nuts. Might be the light bulb.
