Thanks Wazzel, hard to tell from the pic but the frags are doing well coloring up more each day. More importantly all STN has stopped and mostly regrown in the 2 weeks being in the new system. Good sign, hopefully I can keep it steady :roll eyes:

Thank you :beer:
Good to see an update Rich, colors look really good.
I see a Katropora.
Thanks Mark. That's actually a very old school acro "Kedds yellow Bali" acro. It looks greenish under the 20k Radium, but back in the early 2000's we ran 10k halides. Color is bright yellow under 10k. I actually ordered a 10k Ushio bulb but for some reason it wouldn't fit into the mogul socket in my spectra??? Weird
Thanks! I have a lot of small stuff now, but chosen carefully. Much of my stuff is from Kenny "Pieces of the Ocean". He really has an amazing selection of SPS. His colors are insane in person. Definitely worth a visit.
Thanks
Vortechs are on nutrient removal mode (maybe 70%) and I also have a gyre 230 in there as well. Flow is pretty good throughout the tank at the moment.

Very cool. I regret not getting into the hobby sooner, I know very little about some of the older acros. Red Robin is the oldest known named that I have. Well, the slimer I suppose, but that doesn't count.

Yeah Yeah
It was much more simple back then but it blows my mind how much the hobby has advanced in the past 20 years, not to mention the coral selection available today.
Original OT is very hard to find these days. Im thinking about moving my tenuis off to the side and putting OT in the center of the tank with high par. It's been growing very slowly lately. It needs a refreshing
Thanks Eric. Go visit Kenny when you're ready. He has so many nice SPS that he doesn't list.
jackson6745
Yeah Yeah
Jackson you just reminded me I bought some ushio bulbs and they wouldn't fit into my soligfoi halide fixtures!I gotta call them, have you asked them about a refund yet?
Tanks looking great! Still have that nice tenuis?
Yea, i sent bulb back to Premium Aquatics and they refunded with no problem. I still have the tenuis but lost the red on it. Working on getting it to color up again
I think I have to move it to a better spot.

I remember that pic of your tenuis waay back when you first started getting the red. Was an amazing shot!
That pic was a forerunner to the crazy tenuis craze.

Jackson,
If you want a 10K halide, nothing comes close to XM 10K 250 watt. Sadly they dont make them anymore but I have a few in storage that I can spare.
The PAR readings of them are off the chart and not yellow as Ushios which is why I love them.

Abhishek

thinking about adding sand back to my tank after seeing yours. Seems like every couple years I go back to it. Do you vacuum the sand?

+1 my all time favorite bulb with a reeflux 12k and radium tied for second.
