Not too much man. Mixing up water for a water change and thinking about what corals I want to get rid of to make some room for new one. Space is starting to get limited...lol. How's your tank?

What lighting do you use. I'm about to buy a kessil a160.

I'm running t5's. It's a tek elite 6 bulb fixture with a reefbrite led strip.

Lights look good. I'm getting this light for a biocube. Old hood lights are horrible

I'm not too familiar with the kessils but I have seen some very nice tanks using them. Also take a look at the AI prime. I think it may be a good option for that tank too.

Ai prime was an option, but I thing I'm liking the look of the kessil. How long has your tank been setup

Yea the kessils have a nice clean look to them. My tank has been running since December 2013. So its second birthday is coming up soon. Going to have to get it a nice gift...lol

Haha, I hear you on that one man

Everything is looking good. It's been a while since I checked in. I see you've moved the tank to a new location, that's always fun!

Thanks for checking in man!!! The move was certainly an adventure, an adventure I don't want to take again anytime soon..lol.

I'm happy to say that the sand bed is starting to clear up from a pretty bad diatom outbreak.

And a few pictures mid water change

Hi! Have you glued those coral to the glass at the back? I thinking of doing this with some of my SPS, but not sure if it's a good idea or not.

I have done it in the past but not in this tank. I use the magnetic Frag stations from alternative reef for some extra space for frags. I have seen some really cool tanks where people have done it. You can also look into magnetic Frag plugs to try it out. If you wind up not liking it you can remove them if the coral hasn't encrusted onto the glass.
