Looks really NICE! Good Job so far. Like the "mixed" reef

Did you buy the 48" or the 60" T5 hybrid?

I bought the 48” so I can still have lower light lps at the edges. I recommend getting 3 blue plus and one coral plus ATI bulbs for a cleaner blue and white look. You can always adjust the whites with the LED in the middle

Sweet! I’ve seen a couple tanks like that and I’m starting to like them. If possible could you take a could or more pics of the light above the tank?

Hi! Your tank looks really beautiful!

Thank you! Here are some additions I got at a recent frag market. Been looking for a tri-color hammer.
