Looks good, it looks like you might have some Dinos. Try to get control of it before it goes crazy.

 

[logiktest]

Wow!

Looks great!

Do you have any more pictures of your "not sure" frag?

 

[Angler02]

It is green and purple very neat little coral.

Tank looks great. What a differance that lighting makes. Love the picks.:fish1:

 

[Letmegrow]

Yeah totally makes a difference for the better.

A couple of suggestions.

Your lights are hung too high, I would lower them a little bit and center them better, the light dispersion is not quite right. You can stand in front of the tank and have a couple friends move the lights and holler when it looks the best, then re-hang them.

Add more flow.
You have cyano and dynos.

Your mystery frag is a green pocilliopora.

I tried to tell him to lower the lights down but he thinks it will fry his corals.

 

[Angler02]

I am going to lower them, I just wanted to do it a little at a time plus I didn't have what I needed last night to lower them. They are 13" off the water right now, and they are almost dead on center of each side I measured it, I think they look off center because the brace I hung them on is not centered on the tank. The studs I had to use in the wall were no where near where the center of the tank was so I had to imprevise. I think lowering them will definitly help with the light coverage. Thanks letmegrow for the coral description! Hey Vic how are your corals doing?

 

[rams]

looks good :thumbsup: nice color

 

[VSpeck]

my corals are doing ok i had a couple die when my alk dropped. how are all those fish.

 

[Angler02]

I got a few noobs to the tank today but here is one, not the best pic.

 

[kraash]

The new lights really made a difference, it looks much better IMO!
Nice clam too.
as letmegrow said, I would definitely add more flow to get rid of the cyano

 

[Angler02]

I actually need something to stir the sand up I believe because I have quite a bit of flow, any more and I won't have a substrate it will be bare bottom. I was thinking an urchin or a rabbit fish. Maybe even a diamond gobie.

 

[Angler02]

Thanks for the comments guys, I have to say everyone has been right about the MH. You know who you are so no need to point it out and stroke any egos.

 

[chadfarmer]

So, when are you coming to the bright side?

 

[Angler02]

What to T-5's? I haven't seen your new fixture in action but I have heard stories.

 

[Angler02]

Or are you just afraid my tank may look better than yours soon? Maybe that's why you are dogging me. AHAHAHA
