Sahin, your tank is so full of variety! I love all the attention to detail and your picture quality is amazing. Keep the updates coming as your tank progresses. I just took all my acros out due to aefw. I hope I can bounce back.

What's your new bulb combo front to back with this new unit? Also do the think the increased color is due to the LEDs on the powermod or due to you different bulb combo/additional two bulbs

Sorry about the lack of updates. Had major takn issues. If you want to read up on it; link is here:47G SPS...Revamp

Basically battled random/unknown STN issues...buddies held my corals and one of them had tank issues himself with electrical leakage and lost most of mine and his corals...Restarted tank and then got AEFW after so many years...Currently tank looks as follows:

Photo shows bluey purple colour, but it is an intense and striking metallic purple...love the colour coming out on this one.

Echinata?

Had this one from before...could not pull the intense green and the purple rim. Looks happy now.

This one has blue tips, sky blue and also red/purple corallite rims...but cannot capture the colours as it is right up near the surface.

Speciosia I think. Love the blue polyps.

SSC. Its not the usual Aussie SSC but a variant which I like better.

Frag given to me by my buddy. Looks lovely when grown. Starting to get colour.

Blue Tort. Had to nearly 3 years now. Grown from a tiny frag. Tough coral and one that keeps good colour when others dont.

Bought because it had blue tips in the LFS tank and I though it was a Blue Millepora...well it bloody isnt. It has started to get red/purple branches, with a green base and blue tips! Notice the bright blue growth ring too.

Other side. It is sitting directly below an ATI AquaBlueSpecial and pulling some awesome colours. I speak highly of this tube, but most people bash this tube and say it washes out colours. Not for me. Given time, this tube by ATI is pretty cool.

Red Planet.

And finally an FTS.

Corals are healthy again and growing nicely. Some are colouring up very nicely too.

Looking good Sahin. Glad you stuck with it. You have sure had your share of troubles over the last year, but you have persevered and your tank is looking good. Some of those colors are insane already. Keep up the good work.
