Awesome tank man!

Thank You all very much, it’s kinda intimidating putting your tank out there when there’s so many unbelievable looking tanks on here. Very HUMBLING to see people like it . Maybe now I can get a badge and I don’t receive any cyber PA-PAO from administration ;)

Did you start all of the sps from frags? you've got some really nice colonies and i'm trying to judge my growth based off yours.

Thank You, yes all were frags, the biggest was about 2 1/2 inches, which is in the middle, to the right of the green slimmer which was about one inch.

Indeed it is, I should’ve done it when I restarted last year. I had to restart because Hurricane Irma passed by, and took my 15 year old maroon clown and everything else in the tank

@marco fish how do you like the light? Im getting ready to build a 120 with the same light. Do you have any complaints?

 

[fishybizzness]

Great looking tank, though i personally prefer sand bottoms. :). Do you dose and if yes what product are you using to get those awesome colors?

@marco fish how do you like the light? Im getting ready to build a 120 with the same light. Do you have any complaints?

I have 2 , one is the 1st version which has 2 channels, white’s and blues, about 2 1/2 years old. And the other about 6 months old and it has 4 channels . Great lights , be careful with the intensity of the white channels, they are very powerful!!! And make sure that you put the ballast where there’s NO moisture, keep them outside of your sump area, I broke 2 like that. Good luck, Happy Reefing

Although mg is turned off for a few days because it was at 1600.
Twice a week I ad the micro elements ABC
AF Build
