What type of light spread do you get with those reflectors? and are they SE or DE?

Better spread than I thought. Its much better than it shows in the photographs. The edges and back are not as dark as they appear.

I am going to try to get a video of the tank one of these days. It would give a much better idea of how the lights are.

Wow this tank is looking tons better with each batch of new pictures! I quit reading about Zeovit but dang it you have me reconsidering.

Your Kole is beautiful. I'm planning on keeping one as my lone tang.

Thank you. I recommend ZEO to anyone who has a high bioload, feeds a lot or just can't get good coloration out of your corals. I would love to be able to get these results without ZEO and save a bit of money but for the $80 a month or so (including salt) its costing to maintain a 200G/75G sump, I feel its well worth it. Otherwise why bother keeping all the sps if your not getting the full potential out of them

I would say that the tank has responded much quicker and better to starting ZEO at the beginning this time when the nitrates were already low. The first time I started ZEO I had a very high nutrient tank and it cause all kinds of issues at start up. I had stopped ZEO for about 2-3 weeks I think, so it really was like starting again but after the transfer to the new tank, nutrient levels were low and have stayed that way--I guess what I am saying is that if you are considering it, start right away.

I am still pretty amazed with what my ATI Bubblemaster skimmer pulls out in a 24 hour period. I cleaned it yesterday at noon and today at 6 pm, this is how it looked. So actually 30 hours

I feed an insane amount, so I am happy this thing is pulling this much crap out each day!

I suddenly have a craving for chai tea. How odd.

I really like these corner shots so...



This Green Millie is growing extremely fast. Started a 3 months ago as literally a tiny little nub on a piece of rubble. Maybe 1/2" at the time. Its not growing up all that much yet but its branching like crazy and has encrusted a very large area and is killing any Zoas that touch it. Kind of cool.



Just picked this green piece up infront of the stag from OA during the two for one sale. I think it worked out to being $30



This is the area of the tank that I am most excited about to watch grow in. I love this Green Monti and it grows like a weed! You can't tell from the picture but its really starting to branch up nicely. Sorry about all the sand...my Gobies "den" is just under that rock. There tends to be a lot of sand in the water column around there.



Nice Frogspawn from Green Phantom.

This rock or island kind of has the diversity I want to see in the whole tank. Sponges, leather, Zoas, palys, mushrooms, LPS, SPS...

Ends of the tank...

This end will hopefully fill in with more softies as I find ones I like. Im really liking this end so far. And gives you an idea of how wide the tank is....almost 3'



This end is my Tusks territory. Unfortunately my Hippo won't let him leave this area much anymore. The Hippo may have to go if he keeps this up. The tusk is too important to me to see always stressed in a corner. I have noticed he has lost a lot of color lately and feel it must be due to the bullying of the Hippo

You can see so much of my LR is so white still Much of it was 'cooked' before it went into this tank and has yet to really get 'dirty'. I don't know if its the ZEO or not but coraline is not growing too fast right now.





My Yellow Tang is FINALLY starting to gain some weight. You can see here he is getting there. Still a little skinny for my liking though.
