    Tank as of January 2011. Its a crappy picture but most recent. I will take better pictures and have up in a couple days. Any suggestions on the tank, rock, power-heads, or anything please let me know. I will also be putting up comparisons of coral from when first placed in tank. Just need to get batteries for camera....

    These are some tank pictures as of February 28th 2011.

    I am very happy today as my Ocellaris's have finally taken notice to my Rose Anemone. Took about 2 weeks for the Rose Anemone to find a suitable spot to stay and I'm happy with its position and can't wait for it to grow out.

    also bueatiful fish, I just put a flame angel in my tank and chose it over the emperor due the fact the flame is a dwarf and the emperor is not. Any issues with nipping with the emperor? My flame does nip alittle on my sps I think just my superman monti and forestfire digi(im assumign its due to colors, but leaves everything else alone)

    Thanks, I have been getting mixed feelings on the aquascape. I like it .

    I haven't noticed him picking at any corals. I feed my fish twice daily till they are full maybe this helps. However, I haven't really had him long enough to conclude on that statement.

    New moonlights came in. They have a dim-able switch on them so you can increase and decrease the illumination.

    First day with fully operating AquaController controlling whole system. I must say I love it.

    Bought a CPR overflow, and found out that the width of the unit is 1.5inchs more then what I have behind tank.........

    I have to thank Steve for the idea on how to move my tank. I used a car jack and moved it about an inch from the wall. I did tweak the stand doing so however. Hopefully, it will be fine.

    My female clown jumped boat.

    I guess I have to put a top on the tank instead of the free hanging fixture.

    So I just measured my tank with our Quantum meter. The tank goes from :

    1250 Under MH's
    350 1'' under water
    280 6'' under
    190 9'' under
    150-170 on misc spots sandbed

    Thanks to this I actually moved my frag rack that was in 100par to a spot with 270 for growth and color.



    I was wondering what pocillipora like their par around does anyone know?


    My rainbow monti, purple slimmer, blue milli, and forest fire were @ 280
    Clams, 160
