Very nice set-up. I think we can all agree on saying, thanks for sharing your tank with us. Really enjoyed the back ground mechanics that keep your reef going. That one awesome set-up as well.

I love the picture of the momma cardinal fish. She looks like she would take you out from that angle.

It seems that the LED & T5 hybrid approach you wanted is really working out. It's your tank/that episode that gave me the added requirement for my next build.

6 month update. Everything is doing good. I added 5 new fish since my last update which I got from ORA at MACNA. All the original fish and the new fish are doing great. My bangaii cardinals, clowns and dottybacks seem to be always laying eggs. For some reason my female Hawaiian flame wrasse turned male too so now I have two beautiful male hawaiian flame wrasses.

Corals are growing and I only realized how much they have grown when I saw the FTS from a year ago and compared it with one I took 2 weeks ago. Some corals growing are faster than others but I can't complain. I have finally run out of space to put any new pieces which I didn't think would happen so fast. Especially since I did a huge upgrade by going from 36g to 200g.

Here is the FTS from two weeks ago

That tank is real full for only being one year old.

Yes, the SPS grew faster than I expected and then I bought like 5 acanthophyllia which basically filled up my sandbed. Already feel that I should upgrade :)
