We can only dream about that Chris :(

Some amazing looking corals Cozer - can you give us a rundown on your water parameters?
I am not used to measure the water parameter frequently. Last time I measure the parameter is about 6 months ago. The results are as following:

Temp: 25-27degree
pH: 7.9-8.1
KH: ~8
NO3: <5 ppm
PO4: N/A
Ca: did not measure
Mg: did not measure

Hey Nilsy, this acro is called "strawberry cake" in Taiwan. I personally like the pink hues and the lightly bluish tips. This one was put in this tank about three weeks ago. I observe a noticeable growth and color change under the light of M-90S + M-90C (polar version). I probably would say my old CREE M-90S is good for this 90x60x48 tank. But the combination of two Polar M-90S+C units is even "better" than I expect. They give efficient light penetration and spread and very impressive light colors as well. I am really glad to have the new lights!

I picked up my "strawberry cake" as a completely bleached specimen , was under Chinese LED at the LFS.
After six weeks it is showing the red /pink florecence on the tips now, I had noticed that blueness that you mentioned, but I put that down to my imagination a few days ago. I think over time it will get better.
The other coral that I received that was bleached, I fragged into 6 pieces. These pieces are encrusting and going green. Looking forward to seeing the progress of these pieces.
The Polar version is performing well for my tank too. Coming up to the 2 month mark in a day or two.
