thank you. trying to go slower than i ever did before in hopes of better results.

i have had led lights since day one. im interested trying something new with the t5s.

im hoping it helps with the coral colors and shading as everything grows in.

we shall see

ok. update time.

got the fish i ordered in.. doa.

so i ordered an extreme white (gladiator/davinci) and an iced mocha from sa aquatics. they arrived healthy and well... with an extra white so ill be setting up a frag tank for him soon.

also got my coral order in from cherry corals, very nice pieces and im already seeing growth on the green slimer.

got the nem and trachy from savagereefers.com.
couldnt be happier... but i dont understand why we call them bubble tips when ive never had a tip bubble... oh well

also added a yellow prawn goby

noticed i needed more flow so i added a jebao swl-20 awesome pump but the magnet isnt strong enough with the curved pad.

put on the aquatic life t5 hybrid, only has two coral plus in it now, with the radion xr15pro. noticed immediate difference.

i have random flow generators coming for return and two ati blue plus to round out the lights. i cant wait.

oh the setbacks...

despite the quarentining i found a vermited snail and two aptasia, i crushed the snail, and kalked the aptasia... we will see if these become an endemic.

the fish issue is resolved.

and now im getting the uglies. these freaking green rocks are killing me, and i just cant wait to see coraline grow.

the patches of gha on the frags has dissolved and tgere was a few sprigs of bryopsis. good bye to that frag.

so we will see if any of these become a lasting issue and will start searching for solutions at that point.

Very nice! The corals look great and I love the clowns!
