Beautiful tank! Have a couple of questions for you

•what is your ATI bulb combo and what lighting was most of these pics taken under?
•whAt do you feed your ricordias? They're insane! How long did it take them colonize like that? Did you acquire single polyps?

Front to back I have:
Blue +
Purple +
Blue +
Blue+
Blue+
Blue +
Purple +
Aquablue Special

Right now the 4th and 5th bulb aren't working because the ballast went out, ATi has excellent customer service and got me a new one but my hubby needs to install it still so normally the Aquablue Special is in where one of those middle Blue+ is but seems that isn't working I moved it to the back which I am actually liking but we will see once those two are working again. Obviously my tank isn't missing the light of those bulbs seems it was overkill anyway but I just upped the percentages on the other 6 for a bit until that ballast is replaced
Right now the channel that has two blue bulbs is running at 55% and the one that would normally have the other 6 bulbs is running at 50% running 4 of the 6 bulbs.

As for the rics I bought them as colonies but they have also grown several more since I bought them. I just feed the tank and they get whatever falls on them

Awesome tank!!!

Thank you!

Love it!

Thanks so much!

[jstuver]

Been awhile since I updated here. Here are last months FTS tank was 8 months old

Tank turned a year old yesterday!!! Hopefully pics to come tonight, I cleaned the glass and ticked a few things off so waiting a few hours for them to reopen

Not the greatest pics tonight but they will have to do. Don't mind the photo bombing fish they seem to think they need to be fed again!
