Finally got this frag off the frag plug and mounted in a spot where it can spread out.
It was sold to me as a pumpkin pie monti, but it looks too fuzzy to be a monti.

This tank is looking sweet. how do you rate the LPS and SPS colours under the Radion?

Very nice. Like all the LPS's in there. Cool looking pipefish. Do plan on adding more fishes?

Looks like a psammocora. Definitely doesn't look like a monti.

I love the colors with the Radion led.
I had a ATI 6 x 24 watt fixture on the tank before and I would say the colors are just as good, plus I get the led pop from the blues that I wanted.
I was little afraid of selling the T5 fixture, because I was happy with everything with it.
However once I saw that this was going to work, it made the decision easy. Plus I'm not going to miss spending $130 every 10-11 months for new bulbs.

I'm actually looking for a suitable tank mate right now.
I'm thinking Rainsford Goby

Yeah, I agree.
I did a "what's this" thread and that was the general opinion.

I finally did something I was trying to get done for ages.
I found a container that works for me as a top-off container.
It was fairly cheap and came pre-made.
It's a dog food storage container made from food grade plastic.
It holds approx. 14 gallons which will last about 3 weeks total.
I also bought the Tsunami at1 top off system, with the aqua lifter pump.

Did a couple top down pictures.
Wish I could figure out how to take pictures without catching the reflection of the led lights.

Not much has changed.
I have added a few zoanthids, and I ended up powder coating my light bracket.
The aluminum was starting to show a little corrorsion.
My neon green monti is really starting to grow. Gonna have to frag it pretty soon.

Do branching lps take a lot of calc/alk?

This tank is doing pretty well with just regular water changes using Reef Crystals.

So you don't need to test either? Just W/C's?

Looking good Marty, been awhile since I've seen any updates on this. Can you pm me with where you found the ATO container, looks like it would fit my needs as well.

Cheers, Todd
