I have been in the hobby for about 3 years. I started out with a mixed reef but slowly transitioned to a SPS reef tank. Initially, the lighting was the ATI 8 bulbs Power Module. This has been switched to Ecotech Radions about 6 months ago. My corals did not like the change at first, but things are beginning to look better now.

Some of my corals. Trying to make room to introduce new SPS frags. The blue mille, orange cap, and miami orchid are growing out of control.

Very nice! Is that 3 Radions? Love the Dude Crush picture BTW...I'm going to steal that idea lol.
Yes, I have 3 Radions. Started with 2 but there were dark spots in the middle. So now I have 2 Gen 1 Radions and 1 Gen 2. The Gen 2 actually cost me less than the Gen 1 since I bought them before the price was lowered.

I got the Crush picture from Disneyland when I went there with the kids.

Thanks for the compliments. I am just beginning to figure out what I am doing within the last 6 months. Before that, I was battling with all type of algae and cyanobacteria. My corals were pretty much browned out and only realized how nice they are recently. Here are some older pictures.

I've had the pleasure of seeing this tank in person and the pictures don't do it justice. Eric, if you get your wife to agree to the upgrade, I got dibs on the tank!

Thanks Brian. I still have a lot of convincing to do for my wife to let me go big with the 250g upgrade.
