Ok that hurt Dez. My tank's 26" tall come on I had to start somewhere haha.

Chris the new shots look way better and wow is the tank filling up fast. Have the same green digi and I can't get over how fast it grows.

Tap water to boot. WOW!

I feel i should give some thanks to Dez, a couple of the corals in there are from his tanks. Everything is slowly coming together. I have some new bulbs coming monday which will help improve color a bit more becuase the ones i have now are going on 9 months old. I will eventually have to remove a few colonies to allow for some of the nicer ones to grow into big show peices. The tap water up here tested out to be really good with a ph of 8.3 and 0 phos and 0 nitrate. My only worry is some trace metals that might build up over time but i have been using the water up here for 2.5 years now and nothing bad has happend yet.

Thanks for all of the feedback!

Just wanted to make a quick update. The growth has really started to take off again. My dkh is droping 1.5 per day which is annoying to dose but a good sign for the corals. I also stopped dosing vinegar (carbon) Because it was causing some corals to go pale. I will take some more pictures over christmas.
