sick bro~!

Thanks Kev but the colors you're keeping in your shop on all those wild pieces is sick!

Great tank build!!! Keep it up what your doing the color looks insane

Thanks Jarret. I'm trying to keep as stable as possible with the same type of dosing/maintenance. SPS can be a PITA sometimes so I just keep my fingers crossed for now :)


All I have to say is WOW !!!
What a awesome guy
What a awesome tank
What a awesome colors
What a awesome aqua scape
What a awesome ........ You got the idea :)

Marek, I'm glad you took the long ride and stopped by. Pleasure meeting you, and I'm really glad that you liked the reef.

Hiw long are u running the 400s for

Charlie, I'm @ 6 1/2 hours on the halide right now. I've run as long as 8 hours, and as short as 5 hours. This is something that is in constant limbo because of my varying nutrient level. i.e. my skimmer pump died and my nitrates climbed to 50ppm. I upped the photoperiod to 8 hours because I noticed colors getting too deep, and some shaggy brown polyps taking over certain corals.
I have time off from work over the next few months so i will likely reduce my nutrient level more, and shorten photoperiod further.

There's a correlation between the number of hours in the photoperiod vs the nutrient level? More light = more photosynthetic activity = more waste? Very interesting...

Rich awsome as always

Thanks Joe. I still have this frag for you ;). I'll get it to you soon.

What I have noticed over the years is that the more zoox within an acro, the more light it will tolerate/need to get great color. So more nutrient = darker colors = more light, and the opposite.
