Will do! Nothing was photo worthy for awhile, but things are starting to come around.

BC Aquatic-Man Table - This one was hanging on by a polyp after last year's crash. It is starting to show some good color and growth.

Lighthouse Aquatics Purple Nana - Another sweet piece I recieved from Steve Garrett.

Orange Polyp Tort - Just waiting for the orange poylps to show themselves.

Changed out the black box LEDs for T5s. I changed over 200 diodes within 6 months and the spectrum still seemed off. PAR was good but quality of light was poor. I replaced them to T5s and now the spectrum looks great. Also, replaced the halide bulbs.

Wow! This tank is looking incredible man. Well done!

What bulbs are you using?

My 8 foot tank uses 2 of the 8 bulb 54watt ATI fixtures. I love T5. :)

Thanks man. It has come along way over the past year. Things are looking good and getting good growth now.

3 Blue+ and 1 Coral+ in each fixture. I love T5s also. Should have done this from the start. I had the black boxes so I wanted to go with them. They just weren't doing the job anymore.

Snapped a quick phone pic last night. Only blue+ on and they still glow with no filter. I probably wont supplement with RB LEDs.

Thanks for the shot of water's surface. It gives us some idea of the flow your using on this beautiful tank.
