They were enough.. haha

Morning on the reef.

What lights do you have on in the morning? Are those LEDs or t5s?

Nice setup you got there!

What type of wrasse did you add a page or two back? They are amazing!

That is two T5s. 2 blue+ and it's quite accurate in the pic. I've been considering adding a reef brite LED strip to the powermodule just to add some shimmer... I miss the shimmer.

I love the shimmer the led gives but find alot of great reefers out there still prefer to use T5s because it gives a powerful accent of color on the corals.

Wicked nice livestock in the tank man. Setup looks sweet :)

A little update. I got back from Mexico not long ago to find that both my Rhomboids and my male anthias had passed, for whatever reason. That hurts a little but what can you do, part of the hobby I guess. The deaths I am assuming are the reason for the GHA and turf algae I came home to, although nitrate and phos tests read negligible amounts I am thinking this is due to NO3 and PO4 being consumed (by the algae) faster than the tests can detect.

I have cut the photoperiod by an hour, been performing lighter feedings, bought a sea hare and ordered algefix marine. The sea hare has done absoluetly nothing so I think i bought a dud haha, I barely see him!
I am planning to pick up a small army of turbo snails to see if they will help at all as my current clean up crew is quite small.

Other than all that, I am fairly happy with where the tank is at right now and have begun to build the stand skin finally.

Here are a few top down shots, FTS and an algae pic.

Sorry about the rhomboids, it's not easy to swallow a 500 dollars lost. The more I look at your tank the more it reminds me of v1 rotate's reef in the sky from reef central. In time it will become a beautiful reef. Keep up the good work.

Thank you! Its nice to hear such nice words from someone with such an awesome reef. :biggrin:
