Everything looks great so far!

If I were you, I'd give away the poccilopora. Those things can go sexual in your tank and then you'll have them everywhere. Just my personal opinion but they are like the xenia of the SPS world to me. Haha.

May I ask you bulb combo?

Sorry it took so long, but here's how my bulbs are laid out. It took a long time to get them like I wanted them.

Front of Fixture
ATI BP
ATI CP
ATI BP
ATI BP
KZ FP
ATI BP
ATI CP
ATI PP
Back of Fixture

The CP's help keep the tank from looking "too blue," and I can't decide whether I like the KZ FP or the ATI PP better...

I'm still experimenting with watermarks and ways to id the corals with my photos, so please bear with me.

I must've took 300000000000000000000000000000 shots tonight, and none of them look good to me. Sorry, but this is all I feel came out decent.
I guess photography is not like riding a bike.

No matter how much experience I think I have, this one is always super slow to grow!

Interesting thing about this Hawkins is that it broke off when I got it home from Tinman's house. The plug was encrusted nicely, so it just shot up! I have another Hawkins that I got from Ty (ATXacrofarmer/FarmerTy) and it's down lower. Ty gave me two pieces, and I glued them on a single plug. They are growing nicely, too. I've never had this kind of luck with any Hawkins in the past. I can't help but love they way they look and grow out.

I had to shoot this guy in the back of the tank (hence the poor lighting). He's doing great! Saved him at the local (big brand) pet store.

Just watching things grow out in there, now. I tried to get a good FTS, but it's a lot harder than it looks. My room is pretty small, and it's hard to get the good lens to cooperate. I'll get one soon.

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Awesome update my friend.

Besides the weekend was a wash out in Houston I enjoyed to be part of a new coral show in Houston, a event that next year will be setting the trend of THE show in Houston.
