Hey Mark, Whats your secret to keeping chalices. You obviously have it figured out. What lights do you have, and how much light do you give them. Do you feed them ? Awesome chalices 
I use MH and T5s and I don't feed any of the coral. Just fish food for the fish, and fish poo to the corals.
I have a geissman unit, its great. ATI is great as well. The downside to MH is heat, hot is all get out and you will need a chiller
T5/LED seem to be the most popular light combination today. I have not tried it except in my frag tank. I have an ATI 6 bulb T5 and I added a reefbrite xho blue but my frag tank so far pales or browns everything out which I believe is because my frag tank is a standalone 10 gallon tank and I have not figured out how to make it happy.

I don't have a build thread, I don't have a for sale thread. All I do is take pictures. Best i can do, though
Took some pictures this morning with only t5's on (I have 3 x blue plus and 1 x purple something or maybe pink something--I don't rememberer that bulb but it glows pinkish purple)
I am in enamored with the space invader so I thought I would bore you with some different pics:
I fragged it in January and here is a picture from then so you can see the very cool recovery and growth with todays pictures.
The next three are from today:
And of course while doing maintenance, I broke off a piece of miami hurricane chalice, here it is sitting on a tank cross brace

Because of all the requests (zero so far), thought I'd share some favias. These are also from this morning, so same all t5 lights today
I believe this is the tyree triton ???
Mias pot of gold, I think--don't know much about favias
No name
Tyree pastel war, I had just moved it so not too happy at the moment. No choice, have to keep up on maintenance It's just about entirely covered its rock

You guys all know that I never complain. Just not part of my personality. But, man o man, Schnitz posts pics of his skim mate from his protein skimmer and like a dozen comments.
Just ordered some blue LED actinics so I can now make my pictures all blue, maybe that will work to get some response.
In the meantime, last picture from this morning. My first symphillia (I think the spelling is correct). Again, it was taken with t5 only so this is as blue as I can make them.
And for any of you that have been looking at my pics, thank you.
