Thanks for the tip Richard!
I have notice "marked" improvements over the last month just with increased feedings.
I'll get pasted the lightening even if it kills me!
NP. also take a look at the shorter photoperiod threads.
MakoJ what model skimmer is that? Got a shot of it in action?

I have a 180 gallon tank with a 40 sump.
I have zero issues with SPS. They grow insane and the colors have not changed and look great.
Fish Stock include the following:
Achilles Tang
Naso Tang
Hippo Tang
Yellow Tang
Desj. Sailfin Tang
Copperband
Midas Blenny
2 Clowns
Royal Gramma
6 Chromis
2 Mandarins
Watcherman Goby
I think good husbandry is the key to a successful higher bioload reef. I have no hair algae and I feed daily.
