The gonzo I got from you has a brilliant green inside with bright orange bulbs and tips...maybe it's the different lighting. I'll try to snap a good pic and share.

Yep, mine looks exactly lie this.
Great!! That is the original sunburst from gonzo in Colorado. He was the first to coin the name and sell as his signature nem.
Do you know what year? Cause it's been around since 2007 and didn't start showing up in IL until 2009.
I thought early 2000's is when the Nem made it to colorado. They were such an eye catching piece because there were no LEDs when they were first introduced. It is just their color. Now with LEDs you can tweak them to bring out color. My gonzo looks more like the cherry coral gonzo pic. Eric got his from me and it looks like the actual gonzo. Funny how lighting can change colors in our tanks. I bet with halides they would look very similar.
He became a sponsor on R2R in 2009.. But I'm still researching him..lol! Yeah different spectrums sure do bring awesome colors for this nem!! MH is the best lighting just not cost efficient
I just spoke with Josh gonzo. He said he did not bring the Nem in. It was introduced by a LFS in Colorado in 2002. He purchased from them and began selling it.
Cool, getting closer and very interesting things I'm finding. Time to hit the Archives..lol!! It's interesting when LA advertised this but picture has been removed.
