Hurry up and move already so you can get a piece! [emoji4]
Ugh...got a call yesterday afternoon from the apt office. The lady currently in the unit I'm moving to wants to postpone her move out. They've got a court date on the 16th...I'm supposed to move on the 24th! And to top it off they already have someone lined up for my unit. I was going to order the new tank this weekend from Jake but decided best to hold off for the moment.

Oh jeez! That's quite the situation there!

Really digging these two. The tenuis on the right is way better looking than my Walt Disney any day!

Thanks! Things are slowly coloring back up under T5 and for the RCA Baton Rouge(red one), its starting to show green which is cool.
T5 is the way to go for sps. Supplement led for visual pleasure :)

Shame on me, I never documented the addition of the SBReef 60" actinic bar. It's like a better looking, cheaper version of the reefbrite LED bar everyone adds to make their corals pop.

I went from LEDs as the main light with T5 supplements to T5 as the main light with LED supplements. The jury is still out on which is better as my tank hasn't quite settled in yet but I'll let everyone know!

Looking great like always! Too bad you can't find a couple BML's to attach to your T5 light
Thanks Alton! Their actinic spectrum isn't as focused as the reefbrite and SBReef bars for what I was looking for to supplement the color pop and for dawn/dusk. Plus, their exit from the marine industry would have me worried on ever getting anything repaired/replaced. That's why I went with the SBReef lights.

It's starting to really come together! I'll have to do some spackling and sanding to be ready for the final day when we get the cabinet doors up.

Also, my wife already vetoed the square corners so I'll have to replace the top board to go all the way to the side boards. No corners for this guy.
