Thank you. My monti is really starting to branch out. My stylo is slowly starting to grow. Those 2 are my first SPS ever, so I'm a proud papa that they are doing well. As far as another radion, yes I will be adding one. I should have enough when the holidays come around. I also am planning to add another mp10 in the future as well.

looks good! i am in the process of building a 40b and was curious if i could get away with one radion or would need two.... i might end up going with the maxspect razer 420 though

I think you could get by with just one. I am going to be adding a second one only because I want to add some sps right side of the tank as well. But I think there is ample coverage now for my zoas, leathers, and Duncan. The light now sits 8 inches directly above my digi, stylo on the left side of the tank. I am very impressed with the footprint if this light. Also, I only have to run it at about 60% intensity.

Another piece of equipment I plan to add will be an additional mp10. Thankfully its holiday season

Good luck with the buid, I absolutely love my 40B!

Thank you so much, I like the split a lot more than my original layout.

I was just looking at the pic of my gsp when I got it compared to the pic above, holy cow that thing is taking off. I need to frag it before it starts growing on the glass lol

Tank is almost a year old now (est. 1/22/2012). Its been relatively smooth sailing. I currently have a nice outbreak of GHA that was caused by my toadstool dieing off. I kept thinking it would rebound but it never did. I've beefed up by CUC and added a GFO reactor. I still do weekly water changes (5%) as well as only feed once a day (i was previously feeding twice a day). Fish are still fat and happy.

In terms of hardware, I finally got around to adding a second mp10 (which i have set up anti-sync switching b/w NTM and TSM) as well as 2nd Gen2 Radion! I can say I am finally done adding hardware!

Future plans, once i get over my GHA outbreak, will include adding more zoa frags (I have a zoa addiction), as well as maybe another sps or lps. I will eventually add more livestock, perhaps a coral banded shrimp as well as a blenny or goby.

Dosing wise, its just Kalk in my Tunze ATO ( i'm currently diluting 1 tsp/gallon) as well as bi weekly dosings of Kent Tech-M.

I've included a few crummy cell phone pics

Tank has made it a year. And what special gift is in store? GREEN HAIR ALGAE

I've been battling it since thanksgiving. I've added a BRS GFO Reactor, only feed once a day, and am NOT dosing anything for my corals (i.e. oysterfeast or reef chili). I've increased my water changes from 2.5g a week to 4g a week recently along with pulling/siphoning gha off my live rock. I've added all kinds of snails, turbos/astreas/mexican turbos/nerites/ceriths, to no avail. I'm hoping my due diligence with pay off in another month or so. I attribute the GHA outbreak due to a toadstool dieing that i refused to give up on in addition to leaving the window in the room open during the day (tank would get evening sun, the window stays closed now 24/7).

Anyways here's the FTS, I've gotten good growth from my monti, gsp, zoas and devils hand. i just added an orange birdsnest that is already showing growth tips. Looking forward to what the next year brings (hopefully GHA Free :celeb2
