Glad to hear she is doing well Brett.

Big thanks to Red Coral for hooking me up with a Blue Wave 3 ballast. Finally found a true M80 250w ballast I am so psyched! Manufactured in Dec 07 and brand new in box lol...that's kinda cool. It's been waiting for me up on that dusty shelf hehe.

Have a Lumenmax Elite and Radium 250 SE on the way. Hope to have the new rig hung sometime next week. I guess I'd better post updated pics before I go and fry everything.

Well before I upgrade my lighting next week I thought I better post new pics in case I kill everything. I also want a reference for new growth pics after the upgrade.

Some things have grown quite a bit I think considering they're all under a single 150w 20k Radium. Others did next to nothing except for some encrusting. Many of the slow performers are nearer to the glass and my reflector really cheats all those corals because it is so focused.

You'll notice my blue digi that's mounted lower is receding. It's a very slow recession and I'm hoping more light down low will help it recover.

6 weeks have elapsed in these shots.

Here's a few more. First two shots show my new corals. Third I just liked.

Last 3 are new FTS.

Almost forgot my new baby: she's HUGE!

The tank is coming along nicely. Looks great.

Wow, brings back memories. That was my first ballast that I bought 6 or 7 years ago! Really nice with radiums.

I'm doing arm curls with it right now. I do step-downs and transition to the old magnetic in the cabinet and finish with the tiny one that came with the tank lol.
