Thanks!
Here's a few new random pics.
If anyone can I.D. the last one, let me know!
It's something I had in the old setup but with the mini crash last year and the stress of the rebuild, some coral didn't fare so well and have been coloring back up over the past few months.
This is one of them and I'm at a loss as to what it is/was.

NEWS FLASH!
I decided to try out this whole blogging fad.
http://www.everydayreef.com
I'm going to give it a go for awhile and see what happens.
Just started so the look will probably change but this should give you a taste of what's to come. It won't be a rehash of everything you see here. But some of the important bits from here and also some unique stuff. The goal is for it to become a more concise collection of helpful tips for both reefing and reef photography. A lot of that gets lost here with all the back and forth banter and minor things posted that now has us up to 127 pages and over 3,000 posts. LOL!
So check it out!

Couldn't agree more. Great work, Dennis!
Honestly, I know it's probably not, but the last coral looks like the blue tip "tenuis" I had for years. I threw it away 'cuz it grew too fast and now I regret that decision. Is yours a fast grower?

Thanks!
hmmm... not sure. And until recently it's been in recovery in my frag tank.
It started coloring up nicely so I finally moved it to the display.
I think it may be ORA Borealis.

Hope ya'll enjoyed your Mother's Day!
I got a few frags from Unique Corals this past week. Was a busy weekend so I still need to take some pics.
Meanwhile, there is a new post on my blog.
My thoughts on testing my reef and trying not to chase numbers.

I just wanted to go back to a much brighter tank and I wanted a lot more light spread/coverage. So nothing against the Radions, I just would have needed a lot more fixtures and I still don't think I would have been able to achieve the brightness I was after. So it was easier and cheaper to just go back to MH/T5 which I knew I liked and I knew had no problem growing and coloring up SPS. No more guessing which settings to use, either. The switch made a very positive difference.
If you want to go with an LED unit like Radions or Hydras, I would suggest getting one unit for every 12-16"... not 24".

Awesome FTS Dennis! While I really enjoy your macro shots there is something about having some context that I enjoy more... (I guess I really like looking at tanks full of coral more than just coral)
I just dumped my Radions too, I could never run them over 50%. I did like them and I think you are right, I think would have needed twice or more as many to get the coverage that I am getting with my new ATI.
I've been following your thread for a long time, don't think I've posted here before though... doing so now to subscribe!

Looking great as always Dennis!
Just wondering if you have reconsidered the Gyre yet? They are getting so many good reviews. I have mine running now. Dead silent and even with the stock controller (advanced one to come) it has lots of options for flow. What I particularly like is you can have one side of the flow going up and the other down. Each side is independent.

Thanks, Shaggss.
My gyre is still running since I dropped it in over Xmas.
Haven't removed it to clean it yet. Too scared. haha
Might just do a vinegar soak and brush it off.
I'm still meh on it. Same feelings. The flow is real nice but not sure how to feel on the build quality. Would like it to hook up to my profilux so hoping the controller will support that, or vice-versa. Needs the battery backup too.
