Oh and that is a living reef insert btw. It has LR accents. My iPhone doesn't do justice for the lights. The color and shimmer is amazing. I am well satisfied with only $320 in LED lighting.

I love my lights so far as well. I'm getting some insane growth on my sps. Frags I just cut last week are already encrusting onto the plugs. One of my plate has a noticeable 1/8in of growth.

Looking good Jason!

Thanks. I'm now looking into a proper algae scraper. Due to the curve in the glass it misses alot of what's in the middle of the magnet. I have read on RC that people with this type of tank are using "Magic Eraser" to make up the contact surface point for the glass with good success by attaching a thin layer onto the magnet. I am going to try that this week. My last resort will be a razor attachment that goes on the magnet. I worry about these scratching the glass though.
