Very nice. I see you did a mixed reef. I'm still trying to decide if I want to do that or just stick with softies and lps. What kind of light do you use?

MrGemini · Oct 31, 2015

Good Morning all, Here are a few pics with lights on bright!

ATI 8 bulb dimmable Sunpower with Reefbrite LED for supplementation.

Just picked these up on ebay from Reef Raft USA for $9.99 a piece. The shipping is killer but I think that's a pretty good price for the corals.

I decided I needed more bottom space so I did some rearranging during my water change today. I took out the little rock "island" I had sitting off to the left and moved the two ricordea that were on it to the mouth of the cave. I popped them off their plugs and was relieved to find that was much easier than I thought it would be. I think they look much better without those ugly plugs. I'm hoping they'll spread all over that section. I also moved the alveopora up front to be more of a show piece. They were all angry and shrunk up for a little while but opened back up quickly and seem to be content now. Eventually I want to get a sun coral and I'm thinking I'll put it just to the left or right of the pass through. I'm also thinking maybe I'd like to get a toadstool to put in that area. But only if I can find a colorful one. I want a lot of color and movement in the tank.
