Ill be watching. And yeah it looks better in person. Im pretty sure in a years time im gonna be wanting a bigger cube, most likely around 150g. Want to grow and transfer the best from this tank into that one. And hopefully this light turns out to be what i think it is and be able to use it aswell.

very different and sharp looking..

thanks, yeah its got to be different for sure, then limit yourself on the corals and go for a look and it will look better than most IMO.

yeah 2 rose anemones, ones pink the other one has a green base with more orange tips, they are not what they should be right now. since i just got my parameters where they should be and the actual light they need.

Sweet, lol well i added some anthias and the male died today, lyretail. i tested my tank last week and it was better than ever, i dont know what the heck is going on. Im testing again tomorrow, and might switch the mesh wheel propeller back to the pinwheel and add turf scrubber finally.

Sry to hear about the fish

and a turf scrubber works wonders. I have one on my 29g i currently have running and ive never done a water change sense initial start up about 6 months now. And i have 12 fish in that 29g haha

well i had him ordered thru LFS and got him same day he came in. I know i shouldnt but looked great and was eating a tiny bit when i fed rods. so he only lasted 2 days. This is a week after i lost my sunburst anthia that had been with me for a while and has gone thru tank moves and tank swings. So i dont know what the heck is going on. Ill test today when i get a chance. I havent lost any fish in a couple years.

it might be the fish.

Could have been the fish, anthias in general are notorious for not shipping well. I know that the majority of the time lyretails are the exception but if it makes you feel any better i lost one of the females of my harem this weekend after it had been with me over a month and a half and the others are doing well. the tank has not looked better. Its just uneplainable sometimes..

pnavarro170 · Feb 2, 2013

well still havent tested, all sps and anemones look great so ill get around to it. still a little confused. so i ordered a nice clean up crew for now and im gonna wait on fish for a bit.
