Ricky your tank looks awesome bro! How's the zeo working out for you? Also can you link me to the T5 light set up you got and are you happy with it?

 

[MarvinsReef]

very nice lighting set up.. :)

 

[Rickyrooz]

This is the T-5 set up I bought. I spray painted the endcaps and the back of the reflectors black. Greg Morgan at Reef Geek is very helpful and will get you hooked up. I bought one ATI Blue Plus and one UVL Super Actinic. The bulbs are included in the retrofit price. I have the AccuStart ballast.

Current Fish List
4 Green Chromis (Chromis viridis) 10”
1 Chocolatedip Chromis (Chromis iomelas) 2.5”
1 Green Spotted Mandarin (Synchiropus picturatus) 3”
1 Eightline Fairy Wrasse (Male) (Paracheilinus octotaenia) 4”
1 Purple Tang (Zebrasoma xanthurum) 6”
1 Desjardini Sailfin Tang (Zebrasoma desjardinii) 12”
1 Blue Spotted Kole Tang (Ctenochaetus truncates) 7”

10 Fish – 45.5” (1” for every 2.2 gallons)

Invert List
2 Scarlet Skunk Cleaner Shrimp (Lysmata amboinensis)
1 Blood Fire Shrimp (Lysmata debelius)
1 Sand Sifting Sea Star
1 Rose Bubble Tip Anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor)

My Sailfin is about 7" now, I hope it doesn't grow to 12". When I get back from my vacation I will be ordering a Female Bluestar Leopard wrasse. Possibly another Male McCosker's wrasse. Any other suggestions? I was thinking of another type of wrasse or trying an Anthias.

Man it get's better and better! Your pics are looking awesome too!

Thanks, I don't know if the ZEO has colored up my corals or if it's from the addition of the T-5 actinic's. I started ZEO around the same time I added the T-5's . . . bummer.

 

[MarvinsReef]

so fresh and so clean... ;)

Great Tank

All is not well. I've been in Myrtle Beach for two weeks and will be back on Saturday. I already lost a coral and have a few more dying. I'm really bummed. . .

Here are some pics my neighbor took for me.
