Any pics of your aquascape (this one below) without corals?
Thank you. This tank is gone thru many many different aquascapes. Here is 1 of my favorite aquascape of this tank. This was what it looked like as of April 2011. Alot of the corals in this pic have been sold.

Thank you. You're too kind.
Tank dimensions are 4' x 3' x 2'. (L x W x H)
Light - 2 - 400watts Radium. Currently, supplemented with 2 T5 ATI Blue +. I will be adding 2 more Giesemann Pure Actinics.
Skimmer - I was using a SRO XP3000i. Recently, swap it out for an ATB 840 V2.0. I'm quite please with the ATB; therefore, I may be selling the SRO soon.
Internal Flow - 2 Tunzes 6105 controlled by a 7095.
Return Flow - Blue Line 40 something. Bought this used and its pretty loud. Could it be cause it's old? It returns to 2 -3/4" SS.
Alklanity/Calcium are maintained by a GEO calcium reactor. In addition to that, I use Kalk thru my ATO.
2 Little Fishies Phosban Reactors - 1 for carbon and 1 for Rowa Phos.
Sump is a 30Breeder
Lastly, 15gallons frag tank.
Thank you.
Unfortunately, I don't. I'm sorry.

Your tank is jaw dropping! What are your parameters? How high do you hang your lights?

Do you feed your SPS anything?

It was a frag that came from a friend. Her colony was a Mariculture from DD.
I used to feed Coral Vitalizer and Oster Feast, but no longer doing so because I don't see any effects/differences.
Wonderful job. So water changes and a good level of Calcium can really grow corals. Have you ever tested your Mag level?
Do you change your MH bulb every six months or yearly?

Thank you so much.
Thank you. I only tests 3 parameters: Phos, Alk and salinty. I change my MH bulbs at 8 months. After 8 months, I notice that the color shifts and algae bloom.
No carbon or bio pellets.

ME=1, CANCER=0.
OMG, just wonderful.
I'm one year into my SPS tank and finally I have it all where I wanted, good color and growth.
Now it's just a waiting game of growing and trimming the colonies the way I want them.
