Thanks bud! I'm thinking bout swapping the Hydras on the rack and putting them where the Sols are. It's only been a couple of hours and i'll decide when I see how the tank looks in the evening when it's the main viewing time in my home.

Well I have'nt updated lately and i'm trying not too lose to much interest and trying to get that back.
So, the new Hydra 52s are pretty powerful so I took off the Sols from my lightrack and really dont see a difference with them off. So the Sols I guess will be sold. So i'm just running with 2 Hydras and 2 Hydra 52's. I'm experiencing a few tiny spots of cyano that show up every once in a while that drives me nuts. Very minimal but as most reefers i'm very picky and suffer from a little OCD
I'm thinking it's caused by the algae turf scrubber I built, so I took it off today. I noticed a bit of cyano growing on the screen, so out the scrubbber goes. Thought it may be from spent filters in all of RO cannisters and changed them as well as the membrane. I also took down my 90G frag/refuge tank and replaced with a 25G frag tank and it's now lit with one of my Sols. So in doing that 60lbs of liverock is also out of my system. Other than losing my naso tang all other livestock and corals doing well.

Here ya go. Couple of top downs, the new Hydra 52s are pretty bright and I bleached my corals. I've turned the intensity down quite a bit. But really they are brighter than that, i'm no photographer

Picked up a couple of sweet tangs from Paul at Oceanic Corals and they're fitting in nicely.

Better call the vet, this tank is getting sick! What kind tangs are these?
