Did you ever end up deciding on what type of lighting to go with for your frags?

One more question, sorry to derail...I didn't see a fuge in your sump. Do you think they are unneccesary?

Thanks, I did kinda come up with a few ideas for the frag tank, its going to be ghetto for the next little bit until i can come up with something.
So for now its being lite by a viper 70wt MH, and a double hagen glo fixture.
well see how it goes for the next bit, but the curretn frags seem to be reacting positive.

yeah, there is no fuge, I am using the zeovit system and a fuge is not neccessary, I did use one in the past when not on zeo, and I felt that it did help, there were alot of pods and algae to take up nutrients.

Hey Joel thanks man.

I totally don't get this Alton/Polenta joke. Polenta is food?

I'm just pretending it's something perverted and I'm chuckling to myself here.

Alton is the MC for Iron Chef America, and I thought you would make a great MC, and yes Polenta is food.

Hey everyone, abit of an update. so I have been busy with the tank the last few days.
I did something that I thought I would never do, i got a CLAM, me and clams dont have the best relationship, so when one came avaible through another reefer who was living in the same building as me, I thought to give it a try.

Its mounted up high on a rock and off the sand bed in hopes that SPS will kinda crowd it as they both grow, well see what happens

afews other made the tank this past weekend as well.

monitipora nodosa
green caulastrea
kinda blue green millepora, its still to new to tell which way it will go
crayloa tabletop, which I think is going to go staight green, which would be cool. I have pics, and that one too is dark, but give it two weeks in zeo and well see.

tested the p04 tonight and its down to zero, which I am very pleased as the new tangs have been getting fed everytime I pass the tank.

Kh dosing is 25g and 34g per night.
Ca is a steady go between 42g and 28g per morning.

I am still doing it manually.

ok pictures.

you can kinda see half the clam in this one, as well the nodosa and the cauly

check the clown under the table.


heres the new table, really green from top down.


I took some advice from Leonardo and trying out a green stag frag.


zero.




and a romantic moon lite KH dose.
