Dayuuumm Andy!! Thanks, now my fuge looks a lot like a sewer after seeing that!;) so.. How is it as far as functional nutrient export? Did you include a RDSB . .. Or is the 127 clams u swooped up doing the job? Just curious if it's display/ functional.. I'm considering ways to do this now lol .. How is it setup? Like beside or under DT and then plumbed in?

With the director set to use weather matching I have found that I dont mess with the graphs so much. I put everything at 100% and on the low end everything to 0 except the blues that I keep at 5% so that the lunar cycle works. I set the weather to the Great Barrier reef and enable the lunar cycle and it randomizes the light graphs on it's own. the lunar cycle takes over at night and changes the light from 0% to 10% on the blues depending on the moon cycle. During the day the light varies depending on weather changes. I've had really good success with Flower pots popping out little babies, Maxi Anemones splitting on their own, and good growth and coloration. even with SPS solar that I had under a cheap no name brand LED fixture before. With the Hydra's they are starting to slowly get their color back. I'm running 4 hydra's over a 6ft 125 tank.

Well, it's a "fuge". My chaeto and other macro algaes are actually in the next chamber over. But chamber does include a 3-4" sand bed, only sand in the tank and because I really wanted a wrasse that would burry itself haha. Nutrient export is OK. Phos sits around .08 and I have 25+ fish. But I also run GFO carbon and BP! I do all I can =]. And good luck giving those **** things away Esteban! Unless it's an LE white tiger. Than your sitting on serious scrilla

Got a frag pack from Luis at reefers garage today along with this sweeeeeeeet gorgonian. Purple with yellow tips.


Also anyone know what this is? Looks like a hammer but has no structure. Some kind of mushroom maybe?

Here's some more progress shots. This is my first shot with SPS. I bought the first piece about two months ago. So far I'm really enjoying seeing the growth structure. I know these pictures are suuuuuper blue
