Another suggestion for better pics would be, wait until it is dark outside before you start your shoot....ambient daylight seems to ruin the true colors of the tank.

Wow.....I was looking through the date stamp on my pictures and I can't believe that this was only 26 days of growth:

Must say you still have the touch Dez, the set-up is looking awesome.

Thanks for the comments. I don't know if it's the touch or good advice from local reefers and from this forum. It took a little bit of readjusting to the newer technology like waveboxes and stuff

Hi Dez thanks for the tour of your tank. It's always a pleasure to meet new reefers. I was very impressed with your setup and had a great chat.

Not a problem. I'll make up for the size of your frag when my stuff grows out later. Sorry as I had to frag a frag for you since my system is so new. Always nice meeting new reefers as well.

I've been reading through your build today & being that this is my 1st year in the hobby I'd say that growth is awesome. I've had sps for the last 6 months in my tank that haven't grown that much. Although with the addition of a profilux things have definately started to take off in the last 2.5 months. I just upgraded to a 150 gal for my future build in the basement & will likely use your build as a guide for success with an sps dominant system.
