Awesome tank!! I know nobody said it, but it's obviously that one Radion that is causing all that growth and great colors. ;) Lol

Any chance u could post a pic of ur filtration? Always interesting to see how people set them up. Are u running a refugium? Thanks!

Thanks - I never bothered to bring up how the single Radion fixture on the right side has helped the corals on the left side up to color up because since it is only about 96" away I thought that just went without saying. :tongue: I will take some filtration pix when I get a chance - and no I am not running a refugium. I had one but the big crabs in the sump ate all the cheato in my ghetto "fuge" a long time ago.

A side to side view like this is what I dream of achieving some day!
Glad you like it - I am sure you will get there, all I did was add corals and let nature take its course. :smile:

Got a couple of new additions today and in this piece I found a shrimp and crab living in the colony. Took them out and placed in a bucket while I dipped. They are now back in the acro and have a new home in my display tank. I have found shrimp before but I think this is the first green one.

This piece is finally starting to turn into something. This was a from a colony that RTN'd a few years ago and I was able to rescue 3 little nubs about this size of the one circled in the picture. It seems like I have been nursing this one along forever.

Here is a picture of my skimmer I've had since 2006 - Euroreef RC500

Here are my dosing tanks - Since Magnesium is used at a much lesser rate than Ca & alk I just use a 5 gal bucket as a holding tank.

Absolutely spectacular tank! If I read that right, this has all grown out in the matter on one year? I'm ditching my Kessil's and putting my MH Radiums back up! I second the nomination for TOTM.
