Recently went thru some changes and pics from previousMH with supps to LED/Sand to current ATI 60 t5/barebottom.

Nice aquascaping! It looks great!

Very nice,why did you get rid of LED's?

 

[110galreef]

very nice. Did you have most of these corals & colonies already? You went from Rock to pretty well filed up in 9 mos?

Very nice layout. Similiar tank size to me. What equipment you have running?

I like the redo. Very nice. For SPS tanks, minimal aquascape is truly the way to go.

It looked like he already got matured colonies to start with. Lots of work moving things around.

+1 one on the LED question.

Truly disliked to the colors- been keeping tanks for many many moons and the spectrum was not for me.
