Ok, so I started in this hobby about 9 months ago. And after filling two tanks full of beautiful frags, I have ran out of room. So I picked a 40b and built a stand so I can continue collecting. Im still waiting on the light, which will be a ecoxotic pro 36, overflow, return pump, and starboard. I'll be running a 18g sump and coralife 65 skimmer. Hopefully I can have it cycling by next week.

I have the ecoxotic retrofit 36 and am really disappointed with them. Hope the pro is different. Mine have a 2:1 white to blue ratio.

I had them under just the eco and they started stretching. So i added the current and the shrunk back to normal. Plus the whites on the eco wash out the blues. I plan on adding 1 more blue current strip. And yes everything is growing good.
