Yeah they are the "rare earth metal" magnets that I believe are also used in the tunze units. For the size they definitely have alot of hold.

I too was pleasantly surprised when the frags I ordered from fragalot showed up as ordered and healthy for the most part. Still only have the one loss from the order and all are doing well. I decided to go for it after a recent favorable review from another canreefer. Hopefully things are turning around for the better with that outfit.

I've noticed that acros will go through growth phases.....sometimes they seem to grow up and out and sometimes they encrust.....I suppose they do need to build a bigger base befor they can grow taller/ wider....

lol i didn't know that magnetite was so rare

love how you put it in qoutations

Haha yeah I'm just reading off of the container the magnets came in.

Made a couple of changes in my tank recently.

I changed the aquascaping just a bit to get rid of some rocks that looked out of place. The new setup give me a better setup for adding corals.

Also I changed out two of my actinic t5's that had turned a faint purple color for some reason, to some geisman actinic plus bulbs. Wow are they ever blue but overall they add just a bit more blue to the look of the tank. Still a nice crist white/blue color so not overdone. I'll try to post an updated picture in the next couple of day.

I also added in a new acan that I picked up from Red Coral on the weekend.

Ooooo yes ..... Must see pics...... Especially of the acan..... There sure is some nice cans there... What color did you get?

Here's a pic of the Acan. There were some really nice red striped ones in there but I already had a red one so got the green. Polyps are really large compared to my red one.

Tank looks great, happy to see that everything's working out. I Love that stand, great idea, I may just steal it for my own.... Just need to find a way to kid proof it.

Bought some new fish yesterday. 6 Banggai Cardinals, a regal tang, and a flame angel. Bought them at Ocean city and all are doing awesome. Every fish i've bought from there has done really well.

That puts the fish count up to 15 in my 125 gallon. I'm thinking that should probably be it even though i'd love to add more fish. What do you guys think should be the max for this size of reef tank? The only fish I have that will get big are the yellow tang and the regal tang.

watch your Bangii's they will start to hit on each other ones a pair is matched up
