Sweet!!
So the Kessils are in the center and the T5's are added? or did you go with a whole new light?

Correct. The ap700 mounts in between the t5s

Looks amazing! I really like the kessil combo with T5 lighting. If I ever give up halides it's going to be that combo.

Both you guys @DSC reef would like this link

dang that looks good. I wish my tank was a litttle wider so I could get one of these with my a-160s.

 

[Crabs McJones]

The corals are loving this light, my tri-color has never looked so good!

This guy is slowly recovering from the move, the tips are light purple and getting darker

I'd have to count, I'm not even sure anymore lol. And yes the clowns have called the Duncan home. Theyblay eggs right at the bottom of it every 2 to 3 weeks

Quick video I took of the tank today. Everything was looking happy so I started filming. My Toadstool coral is all closed up, he's been unhappy the past week, working on figuring out why. Also I put the music over it so you wouldn't have to hear me breathing lol

Why is their no buildup of any coloring between substrate and glass?

What do you mean?

 

[tjb1993]

What do you mean?

Looks great. I am stuck on learning about algae. I have this dark red,purple,brown,and green algae between the sandbed and the substrate. I scrape the brown/green from the 4 glass sides that are above the sandbox

Your,tank just looks,so clean but your corals look huge and the sand is pristine how do you keep it,as,so
