Conor, went back a few pages to look for this info but didn't find it.. Sorry for being a lazy arse, but with that crazy fish load, what are your nutrient numbers?
And what are you using to manage them?
Also, how are you liking the AI Primes on your new sump set up?
I have some as supplemental lighting and I just love how sexy they are and how easy they are to set up and control..

The regal angel would have to be my favorite fish. I couldn't imagine my reef without one. In my limited experience over the years with the regals I've owned I've found that they tend to leave my SPS alone. I've actually never seen one nip one of my acros. LPS on the other hand would be an expensive snack so I keep the few LPS corals I have in a small connected tank.
My regals are from the red sea Gavin.
Thanks so much Scotty!
So far, all of my angels are well behaved. I wouldn't trust them with certain LPS corals though. I know they are a considered a risk and can turn on corals at any time, but I know removing them from my tank is not difficult so I usually take the risk.thanks for the reply,a bit back,regarding the food you feed conor:beer:

I don't know if I've mentioned my nutrient numbers yet in this thread. I rarely test because my phosphates and nitrates are always undetectable. I've probably only tested them twice since the tank has been set up. To keep my nutrients in check, I skim wet, change 30-40 gallons a week, harvest macros in my frag tank weekly, and grow chaeto and mangroves in my sump. I also use 1 cup of carbon in a bag in my sump. I don't have any algae in my display, but that might be due to my tangs and angels. My frag tank doesn't have any nuisance algae either and I have to clean my glass every 3 days or so.
For what I'm using my AI Primes for, I really like them! I put some tester sps frags under them and so far so good. I use them to light a 50 gallon shallow tank that I use to have filled with sps frags. I now have a few LPS corals and macros in there, and one large SPS table. I also really like how sleek and user friendly they are. I might get one more for my mangroves and chaeto in the sump

I actually thought it was my test kits, so I tried using some older ones I had from my last tank and still no reading. I feed heavy as well. I will say that my macros grow very fast and I'm constantly pulling them out. As time goes on, I hope this method continues to work for me.

I ended up catching my desjardini tang to send him to a bigger home. When I bought him, I thought he'd be ok in my 190g. but he grew so big so fast.
As for the color on my lineatus wrasse, I'm not sure if it's because I have a bunch of other wrasses in the display or if it is what I feed or a combination of both. He does display every night and is certainly the boss wrasse in my tank. I do not have a female, although I have considered it.

Thank you Greg!
Here's a recent FTS, again with the cell phone. I've had two MP40 wet sides go out lately, so I'm only running two at the moment. I've also had some instability issues lately that I'm trying to correct. Overall, I just sense something is off and I'm hoping it balances out.

Reef is looking beautiful Conor, the colorful fish just top the whole thing off mate :thumbsup:
I hate that ' hmmm, something's not quite right but i'm stuffed if i know what it is ' feeling......... in my case it usually turns out to be right and something is drifting where it shouldn't be :reading:

Fantastic! I love how diverse the fish and corals are!

Thanks Andrew, Honestly the original plan was to not have many fish but that obviously didn't work out too well. I found a new home recently for my desjardini tang. It's amazing how much he ate because I've had to cut way back on the amount of food I pour in there since he's been removed.
As far as my feeling of things not being right, I think it might be my temp dropping at night. not quite sure yet.
Much appreciated! I certainly put a lot of thought into my fish and coral selection, I'm glad you like it.

I noticed the acros looking 'off' a number of weeks back and checked everything to no avail. After realising it was winter and i was shutting the house up with the heater on all night i decided to check the pH which normally goes from 8.3 to 8.0 overnight. A morning test showed 7.6 which explained a lot and simply running an airline from the skimmer to a window corrected the problem and raised the overnight pH back to 8.0.
Hope you find whatever it is that might be causing an issue sooner rather than later mate - and take more pics
