 Its so organized and well thought out. Makes me want to redo my setup.

Time for an update.
I haven't discussed lighting yet, I have MH, VHO, T5 and moonlighting. I have a 250w MH 10K XM above the coral wall side and a 400w MH 10K XM abouve the Anemone, both driven by magnetic ballasts. I also have 3 x 48" 110w and 1 x 36" 95w VHO Super Actinics run off a Ice cap 660 & 2 x 54w T5 (1-10k & 1-actinic) by Tek and 2 x 1w Blue LED by Aqualight Giving me about 1185 watts of lighting.  Here is the lighting schedule from the ACjr programming. If Time > 09:30 Then VHO ON If Time > 21:30 Then VHO OFF If Time > 11:30 Then MHs ON If Time > 19:30 Then MHs OFF If Time > 10:30 Then T5s ON If Time > 20:30 Then T5s OFF If Temp > 79.9 Then EAN ON If Temp < 79.0 Then EAN OFF If Temp > 84.0 Then MHs OFF If Time > 11:25 Then EXH ON If Time > 20:00 Then EXH OFF EAN is the fans in the unit. EXH is the exhaust fan under the house that sucks out the hot air from the canopy. VHO only  T5's only  VHO & T5's  MH's only  VHO & T5 & MH

Wow you've got a lot of lights crammed in there
 Thats pretty impressive just looking at the photos of the T5's alone. The XM bulbs look pretty yellow without the supplementation. I tried some XM's earlier this year but unfortunately one was white and one was yellow. The tank is looking great, I see a lot of new corals in there (and not many of the old). Did I miss something or did you redo the tank?

Yeah, those pics were from last year. I still have most of the corals now they are just bigger and some are in different places.
 This is the most recent pic I have from last month, I'm going to get some more pics today hopefully.

I see the anemone is slightly larger now too.
 Awesome looking tank BTW.
