5 months from the last update, I am finding the hands off let it ride method is really working.

Looking great.
I love it how the corals are slowly taking over the rock.

Some have spread so fast, and others have taken their time. The anemones are stinging two arcos but I do not want to get rid of them.

I have finished my coral system for the most part. Only 1 tank has T5s and LEDs on it. 2 blue + bulbs with a reef brite actinic tech strip. I have to say that the hybrid look is unbelievable! I think a hybrid light offers best of both worlds providing an even spread of light all while making the colors pop!!! I have 3 other T5 fixtures that I'll be adding reefbrite strips to next year. Does anyone else have any lighting updates?

Hey buddy! My display has been running for 16 months now and I am more than happy with the growth on my sps. I have really neglected bulb changes and have not seen any negative repercussions. I just ordered new bulbs. The current ones are over 2 years old (the fixture came off my bowfront. I am finding it to be more of a challenge to find lower light areas, but I'm kind of getting over keeping coerals with those lighting requirements. I'll have to snap a pic of what's been going on.
