Glad for you perry buddy!:beer:
That's an awesome list,all of them are awesome corals!
Can't wait to see them
When you say bulb changes you mean new bulbs or the combination/brand of them?
Mike,
Thanks, I am pretty excited about the purchases, just to be sure they hold color, I ran a test on nutrients last night, NO3 via Salifert = 0.02, PO4 via hanna= 0.00 That said I am pretty confident, not using any GFO, Pellets, C-Dosing/Bac, just live rock, skimming, and active GAC.
Bulb change and combo done recently, just in time for new frags
Front to back:
1. KZ Fiji Purple.
2. KZ Superblue
3. KZ New Generation Coral Light
4. KZ Superblue
5. KZ New Generation Coral Light
6. KZ Superblue
7. KZ Fiji Purple
8. KZ Superblue

Thanks Sahin, I was very fortunate and extremely privileged to be able to score these corals. I will put some pics up later, but for 20 bucks a frag/mini colony, I was pretty stoked to say the least, plus a freebie of the Tyree Tri-Color. Trust me, his colonies were literally growing out of the water, tips were flat and looked melted due to trying to breach the water. I have never seen anything like it, so clearly he needed to thin these monsters out. All the colonies except the fire ice echinata were the size of a basketball or larger, it was only softball size, lol... When I told him I wanted a piece of the Green Slimer, he laughed, said how large of a piece can I cut you
That is why I love this hobby, more specifically SPS gurus, we are all alike, seriously demented I think at times, but really, what a stand up dude! Thanks Jeff!!!

Kasey,
Thanks man, no worries about the re-boot, I needed some time to evaluate keeping a reef vs. my lifestyle, I have found a way that works me, something that worked before, that I now find refreshing again. I am fortunate to have some really outstanding tanks in the nearby area of Orlando, many hobbyist's, and lots of love. Hard to believe that Julian Sprung just spoke in Orlando yesterday, wish I could have made WWC's massive event, Introduction of their coral farm, open to the public, with guest speakers', would have been pretty cool, but my wallet would be empty, lol...

Thanks Matt!
Update on the tank:
1. Finally removed my Hippo Tang, she is headed to a 180
2. Lowered my t5's in the canopy by 3" so now 5" off the surface as opposed to 8"
3. Added a beautiful pink base with blue polyps cat's paw or stylo to the tank.
4. Added a bristle tooth tang, and yellow tang to the tank, they bump heads, but not aggressive towards other fish, the tank is much more peaceful now that the hippos is gone
My current stock Fish List: (7 fish)
1. 2 Spot Bristle Tooth Tang
2. Yellow Tang
3. Mystery Wrasse
4. Black Ice/ Snowflake Clown Pair
5. High Fin Goby
6. Diamond Goby

Without pics perry buddy i don't believe anything you say
Just kidding
Happy that your tank is now peaceful without the hippo
Yes sir,
Hippo scored me a 6 polyps of Utter Chaos zoos, pink palys colony, miami hurrican chalice, and 2 sweet sps frags, no names, but will post pics down the road. Just stoked that someone wanted the beautiful hippo, and willing to pay it forward, I love my fellow reefers in Orlando, they are truly awesome!

Update:
Over the weekend, I acquired a trio of Lyretail Anthias, bringing my fish count to 10. I have also added a few more sps to the tank, bringing my total to 16 different types of sps. I did however lose my ice/fire, this happened shortly after lowering my t5's. Nothing else changed in terms of corals, all other show excellent coloration and polyp extension.

7. Lyretail Anthias- 2 females and 1 male
