tank is looking good man... watch that colt coral though it will take over your tank pretty quickly if it starts reproducing haha

Just a quick update I have added a metal halide to the tank with some window screens on the tank to diffuse the light. Not many new additions except a baganii cardinal and the gorrilla nipple zoas, and some orange zoos, also got a huge colony of neon green palys.

Here's a picture with PC and Mh on

Just Mh

Sorry quality not the best it my iPhone 4

A video hope it works- this was shot in the first 30 mins of light being on :(

As for red algea still a little very sparse not getting any more, 1week of cleaning and 3 gallon WC helped out and rearrange on some rock

very nice looking! im in the process of starting my 40 breeder, the only thing holding me back is cost at the moment.

so its been about 4 months since i posted an update on this tank. after the tank move to the new place, the rock structure kinda changed and still working out place to put things.
FTS- i switched my MH fixture for my t5 because they went to my sps frag tank.- switching back soon as these bulbs are about dead(had them since jan.)

middle- notice how big the kenya tree had gotten from the above pics posted in march

the right side of the tank

also have been slacking on scraping the glass- that's why its green looking hard green algae buildup

Tank looks great man! All the corals look like they're really happy

Thanks, I just placed my mh fixture back on the tank so the corals look much better today, I also feed all my corals every other day- with only 3 fish in the tank it balances out the nitrates, also adding a cal reactor shortly
