Well crap, this build thread totally flew under my radar. Tells you how busy I've been with work. Tank is looking great Perry! Congrats!

I agree that will be very white. I personally like a 10k-14k look so I think it'll look great. My experience has been the same with the ATI actinic. It helped coral color somewhat but it's pretty weak. I need to find an aesthetically pleasing way to mount some led bars but haven't gotten around to it.
Appreciate the info, best of luck fighting off those nasties.

And years later, hobbyists will just refer to it as "PRP" alongside WD, HW, SCOP...My "Rising Phoenix" update:
As a refresher to this piece, in July last year 2020, finally, after a year of my previous tank being wet, sps didn't perish. So during a re-scape, I found a throw away piece in the tank, and placed it where it could get light, it actually had a few polyps and some tissue. Here it was in August.
Now here it is as of yesterday, @ScottB for the credit of naming
Thanks Scott, the story and documentation makes it s special coral indeed I actually photographed it monthly, for progression, I will probably drop a photo for each month of documentation in August, at the 1 year mark. If you are ever near me on travel/vacation, I will give you a cut. Hopefully some thinner branches though, my bone cutters would lose that battle, lolAnd years later, hobbyists will just refer to it as "PRP" alongside WD, HW, SCOP...
I'm still not sure what made you take a picture of that dead turd, but glad you did. Hard to believe they are the same coral.
Thanks Perry. I was last in Orlando for MACNA 2019 coincidentally. Will give you a holler next time I come through.Thanks Scott, the story and documentation makes it s special coral indeed I actually photographed it monthly, for progression, I will probably drop a photo for each month of documentation in August, at the 1 year mark.

Corals are looking good!
I remember! All this time in the hobby, you’d think that I would have a wall to wall sps tank lol. Glad to see at least one of us knows what they’re doingHey Eric,
Thanks for checking out the journal and for the kind words! Good to see you still around in the hobby. Still remember your user name after at least 15 years, lol, from the dinosaur site Mine was plyle02 back in the day
Cheers
Lulu's Blue Milli
Perry this looks like the Palmers Blue Milli. Where’d you get this piece? I’ve been looking for some blue millis
I went with these for my new add on I’m buildingWanted to update how I am running my tank, as I have switched gears a couple times. #1, I have stopped dosing everything but foods, reef roids and oyster eggs. #2, I am now running a UV sterilizer, this to reset bacteria, and slowly kill some nasties, 90% clear. #3, added a fuge in middle compartment of sump with rubble, and Caluerpa Mexicana, no sand. #4, skimmer set to dry skim.
Furure plans:
Convert ato to fully saturated kalk, using a peralstatic pump. This, the fuge, and pulling fresh air as to elevate ph.
I am very much considering the kessil a500x, but think I would need 2, despite 36"x36" claims. I am really considering the switch, and if not kessil, perhaps AI is next choice. That would likely be 2x hydra 64's. This is just a thought right now, and would likely be Decemberish.
