I like that you decided to start with frags.
Months from know you will have these PIC's to look back on and see the growth.
It is a great feeling to see the tank come to life.

AAhh well i thought i would update this bad boy as its been a while, things went rocky for a little while as i got very busy with life and all that jazz. Things are doing exceedingly well now and some of my new equipment has made things that way. things added sence last post include MP-40wES, 4 t5 bulbs (2x ati blue plus, Kz fiji purple, and UVL super actinic) a RKL, an aditional 150w heater, and my brand spankin new Avast DIY cone skimmer with Tunze Hydrofoamer 9410. I have also gotten a couple other ppl into the hobby and im kinda the one they go to for answers so that is very ironic for me. The only good thing i can say about not doing much with the tank is that it allowed it to mature properly and stabilize its chemicals which where going out of control. I am now on a B-Ionic 2 part dosing system which is working very well. and my clownfish are spawning on a very regular basis now :bigsmile: heres some pictures of the whole deal :xd:

This guy is my pride and joy, he was my first true sps coral and is encrusting over the plug hopefully he will start growing verticaly now!!
