I'm really keeping my fingers crossed on this one. The colours are great, the corals seem to pop more because of the blue leds. The reds and greens just glow!

Man, what I would give for 5 min. in that frag tank.

That green A. Humilus is awesome.

It is an excruciating slow grower though. I think it's only grown 2" since I've got it. It was part of my first batch of corals I got for this aquarium 1 year and a half ago.

I know what you mean Dez, I got a nice little colony of the same thing from Lobsterboy over a year ago and it hasn't grown a single millimeter. It's the only SPS that I have been able to keep so far.

Everything looks great in there, even your frag rack looks like it has been growing like wild.

I just found this build. 4 hours later, my mind is BLOWN. I never knew such growth was possible in this amount of time. You have motivated me to do regular water changes and save my pop cans to buy zeovit!

Damn......... I really need to come see that tank sometime. I am still collecting equipment to start my first salty tank. You are truly an inspiration.

Zeovit isn't that expensive, just to start. I'm still on my very first container of ZeoStart 2 (1/1/2 years later). I'm only on my second containers of the others. I really don't dose much zeo anymore considering the size of my system. Sorry for wasting 4 hours of your life...

I collected used equipment over a period of years before even starting this tank. If you are patient, good deals will come. I am the 3rd owner of my closed loop pump and it's still going. My wavebox was used and my lights were 6 years old.....so just be patient
