I run leds and this week I sold my sps colonies due to color fade. But my lps, softies , montiporas, and chalices are doing super great. Here is my 2 new pieces Miami hurricane and superman.

Dude, those are some of the biggest chalice colony's I have ever seen!! Your tank looks awesome. Do you run bio pellets or dose carbon? What's the secret? You can me. I won't tell.
