I change my bulbs every 12 months or so.

Washingtond,
I love that Fox Coral. I had one early on (3 years ago) and lost it...one of the few losses I've had. How long have you had yours?
Looks like you've got a branching hammer too, and that it's like mine in that it doesn't mind being in the same tank with leather corals.

We got the Fox Coral just little over a year ago and it is doing great. The branching Hammer we got 4 years ago as a frag with only seven heads on it. Since then I have fragged it 5 times giving and selling them to other members of our club in the Dallas area. The two Hammers that are in the tank are from those frags as well. As you can see the tank is very crowded with both Leathers and LPS corals but everything seems to be getting along. The main problem that I am having is with the Red Mushrooms which pop up everywhere and I am constantly pulling out they will sting whatever they touch.

Those two tanks look great. I am setting up a 60g under 288watts of P.C. I am excited to see what I can do. I to didn't think I would be able to get much in the way of corals.

Here are some shots of the Ecosystem refugium with “Miracle Mud” and Caulerpa algae. The fuge contains also contains two float switches for the Auto Top Off and Kalk drip. The light is on 24/7 and the algae must be cut back every three weeks.

Here is my Mangrove growing under the stand. I am planning on adding another light just for it.

Here is one of the thousand’s of Pods in the refugium.

Nice lookin fuge, do you really tink you need the bioballs?

 

[washingtond]

They could be replaced with Live Rick rubble but have been in there for over six years without any nitrite or nitrate problems. Both test out at zero levels and have never spiked. Unlike a Wet/Dry that drips water over them and they are exposed to air, these are submerged which is probably the reason why they work in my opinion. Some day I will get around to replacing the Bio Balls with LR rubble. By the way I have a similar set-up on our 200g SPS reef tank and have not had any problems with it either and things are much more critical in that tank if something were to go wrong. By the way the Bio Balls are only there to prevent the algae from getting into the aquarium.
