Default update

Well, I've changed a few things over the past 2 months to my tank. I have added lighting, twice now actually, and I currently have 1 250 watt 14k MH set up over the tank. I find the intensity much better than the 180 watts of NO and PC lighting I had uprgraded to last month. The PCs I upgraded to before really started to make my corals grow, but now with MH lighting I expect them to thrive!

I have also replaced my base rock (30 lbs of tuffa) with 40 lbs of live rock, which is more esthetically pleasing if not slightly better for filtration. I have been on a coral buying kick for some time now and have increased my collection to about 15 species of soft, and stoney etc. All are frags purchased or traded from local reefers in Calgary, my small contribution to preserving the world's naturals reefs.

Everything else is pretty much the same as far as equipment is concerned, the tank is doing well and I owe much it's success to Canreef!
