i forgot to mention this too. not that i recommend blackouts but after that length of time with no light and now i think its been about a week and a half maybe 2 weeks now with lights on, i'm getting wicked growth out the sps and even ones that are slow growers. maybe i should black out the tank every couple months to get some growth spurts

Not sure what it is about kids and reef tanks but they sure love 'em. Mine are 1.5 and 4 years, they spend hours looking for new stuff in the tanks. They pretty much ignore the fresh tanks. The 4 year old was super mad the other day cause she couldn't help pull algae. I finally had to get a rock out of the small fuge and let her clean it. The 1.5 year old loves to help with water changes, meaning pull the hose out of the jug while I'm busy syphoning. Oh well it's all good fun.

Hope the tank keeps coming along Colin. Looks pretty incredible compared to my GHA factory.

i agree brad. when company comes over my son has to tell them the names of the fish (real names not made up ones) and what is coral and what is liverock. then he points out snails, starfish, crabs, algae (which i wish he didnt). its pretty cool

Collin, I must have missed the thread about this. What happened?

yeah greg i lost in total about a instant ocean bucket of corals over the past month or so. for 2 months i was battling dinoflagellates that got really really bad. i tried everything and finally when i blacked out the tank it was the final draw and it killed the dinos but they in turn took out tons of $ in corals by polluting the tank. i only have 2 frogspawns (half of their heads died too) that are recovering, all other lps gone and a lot of sps gone. not fun i tell ya
