So I am now 11 months in to my new years resolution of not messing with the tank at all and I have come to the conclusion that I have way too many corals in there. Things aren't going all that well and some corals are suffering badly.
One never really takes into account the bioload of corals until the tank is so stuffed full of them that there is more coral then water. With that said I am posting one last pic of what the tank looks like now and this weekend I am going to break my resolution and completely renovate the rock work....it will be like a typhoon blowing through a reef and washing it clean
Note the new MH bulbs, they are SE phoenix 14k's and boy are they ever blue.....hopefully they whiten up a bit once they are broken in
Oh and the lack of coralline is because there is 2 giant coral and coralline eating, long spined urchins in the tank at the moment. The downside of letting an animal do your pruning for you? They don't care what the end result looks like
