Yeah there is a pet store that carries salt water fish and corlas but it is insainly overpriced and poor quality. I order everything online and have it shipped. I use nothign but good ol fort mac tap water. I have recently had it tested and it came up zero phosphates, zero nitrates, and 8.3 ph so its great for a reef.

I love the fact that you don't have much rock in there to let the corals grow. So many people pile the rocks high at first to give the "full reef" impression, but you've chosen to start it a lot lower. I did that as well giving each one of my corals approximately 8-10" to grow to the water surface. Nice work and nice looking tank!

Ok that hurt Dez. My tank's 26" tall come on I had to start somewhere haha.
Chris the new shots look way better and wow is the tank filling up fast. Have the same green digi and I can't get over how fast it grows. Tap water to boot. WOW!

I feel i should give some thanks to Dez, a couple of the corals in there are from his tanks. Everything is slowly coming together. I have some new bulbs coming monday which will help improve color a bit more becuase the ones i have now are going on 9 months old. I will eventually have to remove a few colonies to allow for some of the nicer ones to grow into big show peices. The tap water up here tested out to be really good with a ph of 8.3 and 0 phos and 0 nitrate. My only worry is some trace metals that might build up over time but i have been using the water up here for 2.5 years now and nothing bad has happend yet.
Thanks for all of the feedback!
