120 gallon tank. I have 2 radion xr30 gen4 pros but id say the pop really comes from my orphek or3 blue + bar. Crazy nice lights

Great idea, might have to pick up one, do they take color suggestions?

Yeah, you can make special requests on color and he will normally accommodate.

My main display in this system is a 120 as well, but I only have 2 xr15 blues on it, as well as a 48 in t5 hybrid, I haven’t turned the t 5’s on yet. I have 2 of those or3 light bars but they are currently being wasted on a 30 gal octopus tank in the same system, just growing algae. The full system is 120 gal + 32 gal + 25 gal + 11 gal and a 100 gal sump/ fuge. I run no filter socks, 40 watt Uv, a skimmer, a fuge, a cryptic rock ruble sump and dose carbon. Some of my fav fish I got so far are garden eel, an angler, an octo, 2 different morays, a copperband, a pipefish and a gem tang. I’ve got all the fish I could really want but no coral! I need to get my act together in that department. Would highly recommend no filter socks, my pods are through the roof. I skip days of feeding all the time and my anthias and pipefish are fine from feeding on free swimming pods. I thought the uv might kill
Some pods but it doesn’t seem too. I can see them free swimming all around, prolly like 40-50 pods per square inch of water, absolutely crazy!

He’s gotta be the most boring cephalopod ever, I think I just got a shy one. All he does is stack the shells of his hermit crab victims in front of his cave. I far prefer my ghost ribbon eel, I handle him at feeding time all the time, never bitten me!

Oh my god, he’s huge! Giant pacific? Reminds me of my certification dives in cali, must have caught 10 octopus in 2 back to back 45 min dives!

TCK corals, Pieces of the Ocean and ARC corals are all great sources for corals especially their livesales. Super clean frags from them IME

I have bought a few things from there and it's great if you end up wanting more than you can afford because they can do the easy payment option stuff that allows you to pay off your purchase in 2 months without a **** ton of interest through a CC

I have been to @A Reef Creation in person and they take pride in their craft. Would highly recommend.
