Well plentys happened since the last post,

Dont have to worry about the center brace anymore, got a new light fixture

6x39W ATI Powermodule

Also picked up about 20lbs more of live rock and redid the rock work, got the fuge going and the phosban reactor inplace as well (still need to add the GFO to it though, wanted to see if it would fit alright)

Stuck with a Coralife Super simmer 125 for now, saving up for something alot better down the road but for now It's doing the job been getting some nice dark skimate

(Returns got painted black, and theres no more heater in the main tank lol, didnt feel like taking new pics agian for that)

Comments, suggestions?

I really like your aquascaping. It's going to be a very interesting tank.

Well its been a while and I forgot about this build thread, alots happened but overall the tank is running really well, aside from a algae bloom that just occured (which I believe was from old bulbs)

I just lost my mystery wrasse due to carpet surfing only other inhabitants at the moment are a small Purple Tang (which is getting relocated to a much bigger tank once it grows in size ) an Ebili Angel and a fire shrimp.

Finally got around to taking some pics, first time trying to take pics of an aquarium they didnt turn out to great and I never had any time to really do any editing but I hope you enjoy them anyway (the colors look so faded and bleached, when there quite vibrant in real life any tips on how to improve the color quality on pictures?)


Purple w/green tips torch
