Also since Im going to be building the exact replica of this tank and they will both be running on the same sump/skimmer . I figured it would be a cool idea to run the tanks on different lighting just to see what types of differences I get from the same corals . Will be splitting my zoas and fragging certain corals and keeping them in the 2 different tanks . One tank will be running a kessil a360w maybe 2 , and the other tank will be running with a 6 bulb tek light hot5 . I will mount lights at the same height and take pics once a week to see differences in growth/color .

so it never got pic updates. However I will update this thread with some pics of that tank and the new tank . I had sea horses originally for a couple years in that tank then turned it into my reef . This new build I will take pics of the whole shabang stand build, plumbing set up , aquascaping , and of course the livestock as it gets moved over .

update still working on capturing good/accurate color pics . Got a new sump just need to build a stand for it and then re-plumb , then the skimmer will not be in the frag tank . Have the system running 1 kessil a360we does the job perfectly, just got the vertex 150 a week ago with a sump . Got to say I love having the vinyl black bottom and black acrylic back wall , can't see no plumbing and the lighting looks much better . Have the frag tank and my display plumbed to the same sump right beside each other and the difference in lighting is crazy. The blacked out tank has way more shimmer and it holds the light in much better , where as my display is full starfire and light spills out a lot . So now I must build a duplicate tank and replace my beloved 8 year old tank. Here are some pics of some of the corals , just got my first scolly . Have always wanted one just never really see them around the lfs and when I do see one they are 400 usually . Got my scolly from Colby at bayside corals for a steal he has some really cool stuff would be so poor if that was my lfs .
Added a yellow/red banded pipe today will get some pics when the lights are on. And got a swallsi basslett ( I think) he literally just stays in and out of the rockwork so hard to get a pic . Also set up a qt so I can start buying some fish again . Going to give a black and blue boxfish another shot or 2 before I rule the fish impossible to keep , going to try a pair to see if the survival rate is better as they are always paired up in the ocean , honestly bugs me they still stock those fish , I have never seen anybody with one . Have had success with the yellow boxfish witch I will be getting as well. But the blue and the black spotted I have yet to see a healthy one in anybody's aquarium .
