I also added 80 more lbs of sand to ascetic purposes even though I believe its more of a hassle to clean in the end.

Thanks and what a great idea I like tshirts! I know the led vs mh/t5 debate is still very hot but im very pleased with my results so far.

Few more random pics of corals

Got this a year ago starting as a 1 1/2 inch frag Ive also notice a drastic growth burst when i placed an mp40 behind it roughly 12 inches away

Red stylo with blue polyps This coral shows promise

Random coral If anyone has any idea what it is let me know.

Ora red planet Has alot more red when i look from top down view. Ill also take note that in my experience so far Radions seem to bring out most colors extremely well but red seems to lack alittle bit in comparison. That could simply be from me not having enough light based on its position but im not sure.

Ora Green Slimer In my tank def pops more then any other coral near it.

Green Pillacora

Red Mille This thing is a real fast grower Ill have to move it with in a few months at the rate its growing.

 

[Breakbeats2334]

Green acro thats also a pretty fast grower

 

[Breakbeats2334]

Ducans! I started off with one head and since then its just taken off which surprised me since i dont spot feed it.

I also added 8 Turbo snails 2 Fighting Conchs along with an emerald crab to help maintain the clean reef since i started to notice some algae growing on the overflow shield along with the back glass. May add a few more snails depending on the progression of the algae. This is my first tryin conchs and in under a week ive become a fan of Conchs seeing them go in and out of the sand is a complete different aspect to the reef.

Time for a few updates i let the tank have no fish for 8 weeks to ensure my seeding of different types of pods had enough time to spread throughout the tank. Got a Quarantine Tank and a hospital tank that have been up for 5/6 weeks.

Bloodfire shrimp Mine seems to be very active in the day i assume from the lack of fish it got comfortable .
