A few pics of Schnitzel's sticks

Took some lazy iPhone pics. I am using a gel filter so the pics arent washed out blue.













Things have been going very well for the tank. Steady growth and good colors. Fish are healthy. Can't really complain. Just did a couple 50g water changes over the past couple weeks. Had some cyano start popping up on the sand bed. That's because I hadn't done a water change in 3-4 months. Cyano is already starting to go away.
 
WOW that is a nice tank, healthy SPS. I really like your aquascaping, I'm getting ready to build my main structures and love the way your rock work stays off the bottom.

Thanks. I tried scaping the tank so that it would look good with grown out acros and not just rocks. Idk if that makes sense. When the tank was first setup I wasn't happy with how it looked, but now that everything is grown in, it looks exactly how I wanted it to.
 
I'm seriously thinking about switching from my Radions too. They've been growing my sps, but very slowly and I think I can improve on my colors.

How do you run your ATI Sunpower fixture(s)? I know you have the dimmable model. Do you dim it morning and night, then 100% the rest of the day? How many hours do you run it? I have an Apex as well so would be setting it up through there. I'm considering the non dimmable model since I can get it with 8 bulbs vs 6 and it's less money.

Yes I have the dimmable model, but I mainly bought it because it only uses 1 power cord vs 3 on the standard sunpower. I only have my lights ramp up and down for 30 minutes. I use my Reefbrite leds to do the main ramp up and ramp down. I run my T5s for 10 hours I think. I would have to double check.
 
Your tank is indeed awesome. Yours is the one finally pushing me to switch out my lights. I have basically everything else dialed in on my tank but lights. Your corals really look fantastic.

We may be down in LA at Christmas. I might have to swing by and pick up a frag or two if you have some available then!
 
Pulled out the real camera and took some shots. These are uploaded strait from my camera to my phone and then to Photobucket, so quality probably isn't that great. Enjoy ...
