very nice.
can you post some system stats such as tank size, sump size, skimmer, lights, pumps, etc.
it looks like you are not running a refuguim, is that right?

thanks

Sure,

Tank: Oceanic 70g Starfire, with Oceanic Overflow and moded durso
Sump: 30g 3 baffle acrylic sump
Skimmer: Reef Octo 200 Extreme, PSK-2500 pump with needle wheel impeller
Main pump: Danner Mag Drive 7.5
Media Reactor: Don't remember the brand (I got it at Coral Gazers) running Phosgaurd (I believe)
Water: Premix Oceanic Salt from Coral Gazers.
Flow: one Vortech MP40w set on approx 1725gph, Setting: reef crest mode
Lighting: 48" Dual Fan Cooled Current Nova Extreme Pro - 6 bulb - T5, with 3 geissmann Actincs, 1 KZ fiji Purple, and 2 ATI Blue+....LED 3w bulbs for under stand lighting
Controller: Reef Keeper Elite, 2 PC4s and Ph Probe

Stats:
Salinity - 1.0025
PH - 8.15
Mag - Unknown
Alk - Unknown
Cal - Unknown
Temp - 77.9*F

Future Plans: I would like to get either an HOB refugium just to help with waste export and to help grow pods and whatnot to feed the tank. I am also interested in either going Cal Reactor, or Dosing unit. Not sure yet, but I have heard good and bad things about both. I also would like to get more high end corals, I collect Higher end LPS, so I would like to get more high end chalices, Acans and others.

If you have some to donate....LET ME KNOW!!!!

Please let me know if you have any other specific questions.

Thanks!

Thanks, I believe those are not AOI's though. They are African Blue Hornets, or African Blue Steel (same thing). Everyone says that they are extremely hard to keep alive and they require high light and vigorous flow. They are much more vivid in person, I actually have a second colony if you are interested? Many people can't keep them alive. I have a colony that has at least 15 to 20 polyps on it.

Anywho, I really like them they are one of my favorites, everyone who comes to see my tank always asks what those are.
