The Poor Man's "Elos" SPS Build. :)

[29reef]

Chris, very nice new corals!

(Arent they in the wrong forum!?)

The Lps sure have given Sps a run for their money these days. Great looking stuff for sure!

Congrats on the new collection.

That skimmer is really doing it's job. Is that a Bubbleking?

Looks like you finally have the Vertex dialed in.

Looking good Chris, frags look very nice and looks like you've got your Alpha working well for yourself.

Just out of curiosity could you post a shot of where you've got your wedge pipe set at? I've had an Alpha 250 for a couple months now and it's serving me well but I'd be curious to see where you've got your wedge pipe at.

Thanks

PS: Are we ever gonna get to see a FTS??? I know you're a perfectionist but... gee wiz, lol!

I tried the T5s and gave it my all. I used tons of different bulbs and combinations. In the end I found it was not for me. I have switched back to MH. Updated equipment list coming soon.
