Fast forward a few months. I have my first scoly, a few sps pieces. Three zoa rocks that will be awesome when they grow out and 5 wrasses. I'm happy with the tank.
It's had its hiccups and I lost a few fish in the process of getting to where it is now.
I noticed my acros were losing some color and the clams didn't look as good as they could. So I lowered the intensity of my light down to peak at 75% instead of the 100 I had it set to. I've already noticed an improvement in the clams color and how much they are opening.
So my thoughts currently. This ATI fixture is making to much light for clams on my sand bed and acros 6 or so inches under the water level.
Of all the tanks and time I've been doing this I've never had snails lay eggs in my tank. The other night I noticed this. First time for me so I'm pretty excited :)
