An update... Back after 3 weeks. The tank did well controlled remotely. Zero losses but have cyano growing over the substrate that needs vacuuming. SPS' grew quite a bit, but the biggest noticeable change is with the Goldflake. She came in originally smaller than the Regal, but now is bigger and growing fast.

I love it tank gets so much natural light.

More and more I don't like the blues and prefer my daytime spectrum.

But nothing beats that natural light
When the sun directly hits this tank even with my lights on full there is shadow. The sun is very strong! ;) But thank you. And yes sitting in that blue hue after awhile you can go batty so I only let it go blue for the last hour now.

Sharing how some of my sps dont actually kill when they grow into each other. It also seems that they can feel the acropora growing close to them, then begin to change its normal growth patterns and actually speeds up growth.

Wow. Just finished reading from the beginning. I love the thread fins and everything turned out beautiful.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. It's been about 1.5 years without big issues. I love the tank size but those angels need something bigger... which is in the planning stage and built by Joe @ Glass Cages ;). I am also starting this grow out tank for the eventual transfer; and a place for me to nurture the acro frags the tank will start producing. I hope to eventually share frags from this tank for cheap with the reefing community.
