I have generally just let the corals grow these days.....only when my prized possessions touch would I move them. Pegging genreally keeps them from touching, but as you can tell, some growth is pretty dense so I just let them grow - and let nature do it's thing.
Soon as I get a sponsor I plan on starting the 540!
I use all 20K radium now. I really changed just to try them and found I liked the appearance of them and their affect on the corals. I used them for a year, wow what a change when you replace them, a completely different color.
My replacement Radium showed up today - that one XM is out and will serve as a back-up. Radiums across the board again (lost one due to a fish splash).
Just macro and a 3 knife fish right now. Plan on adding a pipe fish when I see one available.

Nice - hope you bought a house that can nicely accomodate that tank, and that you didn't move to far away from all the Toronto LFS's.
Thanks Mike. Well I generally use Kent liquid Mg, however I do use the Seachem granular from time to time. Both have been effective at raising levels. I also use zeomag in my calcium reactor but this can not keep up with demands so I supplement.

Amazing tank,
Do you dose Vodka at all?

Wow and fantastic. That cinder block in the first picture is the best I have ever seen. It should look really nice when it finishes coloring up and grows out some. I bet you will have to frag it though when it gets too big for the fish room though.
Sorry this is the only thing that has not been said for your amazing system. I always enjoy your posts and pictures of your system.

I do, but not in the tank.
Well the frag tank is 48x30x8". I have an 8 bulb 54W unit over it, maybe 20" above the tank. I generally run only 4 bulbs, as otherwise some of my other frags (zoas, LPS) get too much light.
Thanks! I use tropic Marin Pro, or regular when Pro is not available. That being said, I have only used about2 buckets in the last year (including the frag tank) - stuff is expensive! Try to maintain 400+ calcium, 9DKH and 1400+ Mg.
Thanks for the compliment. 2007 was the last time the tank was lookin' this good. Being in Toronto, we are really spoiler when it comes to corals.
Thanks. Yes, that seems oddly out of place..........a timer went and I can not plug in the ballast without it. Makes me check in the tank every day though which is a good thing.

Absolutely amazing! That's got to be the nicest tank form Canada I've seen!!! I only wish we got corals that nice here in Winnipeg!
