There best buds. The sail fin was first. The yellow tank was a bit mean for a bit after introducing. He settled down and are very happy. I also have a blue tang.

Just got in my corals I ordered from Jason Fox. Nice size frags. I hope I can keep them colored up.
First up is Vivids Rainbow Delight.
Next is Jason's "Unknown" Very bad pictures.
Next is Pro Corals Rainbow Acro.
Last is Jason's Grape Juice. Not very attractive now but I have hopes.

I swapped out my 250 watt Radium to the New Reefbreeder Nova A4 = T5 supplementation. I figured out that my STN issues where related to my 250 MH. I had a Lumitek select a watt ballast (250, 250sl, 400, 400sl) and some how someway someone switched the power output from 250sl to 400sl. I pushing 400+ watts to my 250 watt bulb. Color spectrum must have been crazy stressful on my animals. It bleached out most my LPS and STN most of my acros.... I had to frag all my colonies.
This was taken just after I installed the LED. 3 weeks ago. I am happy to report my acros are back in my tank (all bet is mostly frags and not shown in this video) and are doing great.
I also ordered some crazy collector pieces. I will post pictures when I get them.

Reef Raft Aussie Gold
Reef Raft Poison Ivy

AV99 Orange Crush Acro
Pink Dragon Tails LE Acro (from Snipersps)

Hello. Here is a long overdue update. This is a iPhone video of my tank as it looks today. Things are back on track and growing. I did switch out the reef breeder led for two radion gen 2s. I put the reef breeder led on my frag tank. I am taking down the frag tank so all the equipment is for sale if anyone in interested.
Sorry for the quality of the vid. Enjoy!

Ok so I guess I was inspired this morning after taking the pic above. I put together a video tour of my reef.
Enjoy.
