Hey Mark,
Tank is looking great man. You still have all those frags I hooked you up with before you left? Would love to see some growth pics. I'm gonna have to stop by sometime if I make it out to Tampa this summer. Take care bud

You can see the Setosa on the bottom right (I just broke it though I cant win with that coral :beat_brick. I lost the PB the Tri color has spread out but not grown up and I finally am getting it to color up now that I switched to Phoenix's. Chris said your tank is rocking I cant wait to see it. I am def going T5 if I ever upgrade or if my ballast goes "a few friends I know" use them and get insane growth, and I love the even lighting so coral growth looks more natural.

Yeah I was suppose to stop by a couple times but either you had family just show up or I got called in to work. Everytime we tried to meet up something came up. Maybe next time I go down south for a fishing trip I will have to stop by. How far are you from Palmetto and Skyway bridge?
