I built a DIY refuge light mount a couple weeks ago. I repurposed the mount brackets from my
SB reeflights and some 2" aluminum bent at a 90° angle.

I have some water ready for a WC tomorrow. I checked my PO4 levels to see where I'm at before WC. Off the charts on Salifert and API kits! Well see tomorrow if it comes down with the WC. If not it looks like I'll be building a reactor.
So I have a hitchhiker coral that really hasn't done much but its colored up like turquoise and I've seen some PE. Today I saw something I hadn't seen before.

Given it appears you have a decent light it is interesting that the chaeto died off. Have you considered a DIY ATS?
I dig that coral hitch hiker and in it's honor;

That's likely a manicina aka, Caribbean rose Coral. If you got Florida aquacultured live Rick they can pop up not uncommonly. Its a Caribbean stony Coral that can be acquired legally.I have some water ready for a WC tomorrow. I checked my PO4 levels to see where I'm at before WC. Off the charts on Salifert and API kits!

I think I'll keep it for now. If I frag it someday I'll try to remember to PM you.
