LPS dominated tanks....

[CountrySideCoral]

I am a proud parent of a 65 gallon LPS dominated tank. I currently use Red Sea Coral Pro salt mixed to 1.024. I dose Koralle-VM, Reef Snow, Koral Color, and Liquid Reef (maybe once a week). Its my honest opinion that my tank has outstanding color, great flow, and one of the best 6 bulb lights for the money. I use a Current Nova Extreme 6 bulb T-5. I use a 460nm, Red bulb, 460nm, 460nm, 420nm, 460nm to light the tank. I feed frozen/strained mysis every other day, while supplementing with veggie flakes on non-mysis days. My livestock includes a female Australian Black Ocellaris who is currently laying eggs with a male Photon clown fish, I also have a yellow tang, flame angel, and target mandarin. What does everyone on here use for salt and lighting for their LPS dominated tanks?

Below is a picture of my tank from last week:

Nice tank! How long have you had the flame angel?

 

[CountrySideCoral]

I have had the flame angel for roughly 2 months.

[CountrySideCoral]

I have one sandsifting starfish a lot of flow and a protein skimmer designed for 300 gal tank.

Very nice but you really don't need all of those additives. I'm sure your tank will be just fine with regular water changes.

 

[CountrySideCoral]

I only change my water every 3 weeks. Not a believer in weekly changes.

I like it. As I said in the OP, I do not have a white bulb in my 6-bulb fixture. 4 blues, one purple, one red.
