I was finally able to get a set of lights over the 250DD to add some color. Ended up going with a pair of G4 pros. I couldn't believe the difference they made compared to the G3 pros. The first picture below shows the G4's to the left with G3's on the middle tank. All lights were running the same program at around 40% I believe. The G4's are several times more intense with better coverage. I don't believe this picture had the two new channels on the G4 turned on either. With that said, I'll likely be switching the G3's out sooner than later.

One of these days I'm going to get a decent camera...

Couple frag tank shots. Things have started to take off after I hooked up the dosing pumps and ran a fresh air line from out side to the skimmers to increase the PH. I'm currently comparing running a line outside plumbed through a carbon filter to a skimmer with only a skimmer plumbed to CO2 absorbent media. Both seem to be increasing the PH around the same amount.

Beautiful setup, love the attention to details! Do you have any updated photos of the gear (sadly I find that more fun to look at than I do the corals lol).

Yes, I enjoy the equipment set-up just as much if not more than the coral. Here are a few pictures I took this evening:
