It looks like it's settling in nicely! I think I have a piece of its base still stuck on the rock so maybe I'll have a baby toadstool soon.

Took some cleaning but the tank seemed to survive my time away for a week. Coral seem very happy. Fish seem very happy. Makes me very happy.

Looks so different without that Monti. Didn't you have an carpet nem in that back right side? If so do you still have it? How about flame angel?

Hey Danny. How's things going? It does look a lot different. You'll have to swing by and see it. The mini maxi has not quite been what it was under the mh but I still have it. The flame angel perished while back unfortunately.

I see you said you have a 32gallon top off. How long does that normally last you. I'm setting up a 220 myself.

5-7 days depending on what time of year it is.

That's pretty good. I have a 55 gallon barrel I will use I was hoping to get around 2 weeks out of it atleast. We shall see

I say go for it, build a 220. Unfortunately I don't think you'll get two weeks out of a 55...

The frag of green sps in pic 3 you gave me has become my favorite piece to watch in the tank. The PE is almost memorizing when the power heads are set to wave mode.

That acro was the one in the center of my old monti (my avi). When the monti bleached and I broke it down, I scattered these acros all over the tank as a little experiment. I put some in high light and some in low light. I put some in high flow and low flow. The PE I see from low level, low flow is crazy. Never seen anything quite like it. I'll have to get a good pic of it for ya.

BTW. I am leaving for Europe tomorrow for two weeks. My roommate will be watching the tank. If for whatever reason, something were to go wrong, I might ask for your help. I'm confident nothing will happen, but just be on stand by if may need be. @Murr7 @DannyB
