A week ago I sold all my live stock. It was a NPS tank. Due to high No3, and Po4 I couldnt keep it, unless I had a space for a bigger setup ( water volume) and a sump, that I could grow macro algae.
So now I decided to stay with sps only.
My plans are simple. It will be sps only. It will not be any lps, soft, or zoas.
I already have about 15 sps's frag in there.
Tank: 34g 36x18x12
Lighting: 36" ATI 4x39w
2 Blue+ 1 Coral+ 1 Purple+
BRS Dosers For CA/ALK
Skimmer: Jebao coral box D300
Reactors: Two little fishes, Carbon/GFO
Return Pump: Waveline 6000
Power heads: 2 Jebao RW4
Heaters: 2 titanium Finnex 300w w/controllers
ATO: jbj

Not the best FTS!

Looks nice so far. What do you have in there as of now? Also, are you running sump with or without filter socks? I can't tell in the pic.

A few acros, monti, coral beauty, lots of blue legs crabs. No socks. I was using it in the beggining, but I decided to remove it.

Nice, does the tank have a blue or white look to it with that bulb combo? The last two pictures look so different.

More blue... I did switch a coral+ to a
purple+. Maybe thats why its so different.
Some times I take with an Ipad, and some with my Iphone. I will be taking some with my camera as well..

The reason I ask is I got 4 b+ , a purple +, and a coral +. That's suppose to be like 20k as according to ATI, but looking at your tank it looked pretty white to me and I believe you swapped one for atomic which should look even bluer.
