Colin, out of curiousity, what are your nitrates with all those fish? You don't run Zeo or Ultralith or anything like that, do you? How many lbs per gallon of rocks do you have?

I'm just curious, everything looks really great ... you have a much larger fish load than I've ever run so I'm curious what the effects are. (The irony is you have SPS doing well and I ... don't. )

tony - i havent tested nitrate in about a month or so but when i do it is pretty much undetectable. i run no zeo systems or additives. i only run rowaphos in a reactor. in the main dispay i have about 180 - 200 lbs of rock and about 50lbs in the sump. i do weekly water changes and i syphon 1/3 of the sandbed each time. i have thought lately about the fish load and nitrate issue but everything gets along extremely well, corals are rocking and water clarity is great so i havent stressed too much about it.

I'd have to say those pictures are many times better than any I take...very nice fish collection and wow, that's quite a few tangs! And your tank looks stunning!

finally got my hands on a photo box so i thought i would try it out tonight. fighting a little bit of cyano lately. dont remember if i said before but it all started when i changed my CA media and spiked the alk to 18. its under control now but it is still a nuisance and nasty looking. its in just a couple small spots. trying my hand at shipping frags this weekend. we'll see how that goes. i pretty sure i can pack them well but still nerve racking having the risk that the frags could die and then have to replaced them.
