Well, here's how the blue smurf acro is looking. I picked it up on January 25th and let it settle for a week and then fragged it to make the main colony more manageable. (I'm saying "I" but really it was me and a friend with a band saw) We immediately put the frags in 3 different tanks at different light levels to determine what it wanted. Well, it wanted lots of light and trace elements. I've got one that is sort of a reddish green and the best results were had at a high par level with lots blue light in the daily program. Here's a side shot of the mother colony, please note all of the growth at the tip where they were cut. The second shot is a top down of the mother colony and all of her babies that have grown and started encrusting plugs. I love my Wife but the fact that she wasn't impressed led me to shake my head and exclaim "I know where these will be appreciated!" and that is here.

Look very nice. I just recently put two acro frags in my tank, one a frogs skin and the other not sure. Waiting to see if I can grow them.
 
Very nice! My tanks are not set up for success with Acros but boy are they beautiful! Great job!
