I used the MTC Pro Cal for many years and it served me very well.

Simply wow. You have taken things to a whole new stratosphere! Question....and perhaps I missed this, but did you use just dry rock to start this system or did you seed it with some live rock from your old tank? Interested to see if you ran into any algae problems (dinos?) others, myself...

It just keeps getting better!!

Ditto on these comments

There are some really nice LED tanks out there but i will continue to stick with what works for me, MH + T5s.

Amazing!

There were some very large white spots on the fins of 3 Pyramid Butterflyfish I ordered a while back. It was right out of the bag and it didn't look like ich but perhaps it was lymph. However, they did go away over time.

Perhaps my favorite Wrasse. I had one a few years ago in my old 225g for about a year and a half before I had to break down the tank. The guy I had gotten it from QT'd it for quite a while to make sure it was healthy and eating. Good to see them around again but not loving the price!

He might not even need those particular ones if he gets rid of the entire flow gauge app.

Can you provide more info on your setup.....equipment, type of corals (SPS dominant?), etc?

I had a Green Bali Slimer grow to the waterline. In fact, it looked like part of it was growing out of the water! Sorry, no pics :(
