Ok, fixed the issue with the HOB overflow again. It was clogged. Going strong it seems.

My final order form SWF has arrived. 1 porcelain crab, 1 plum crazy, 1 bumblebee snail, 1 coco worm, 1 derasa clam, and 1 random brain. Just want to say, HOLY ****. You'll see why. I love saltwaterfish.com. The coco worm has been out once, but the dog scared it back in. Get a pic when I can.

Everything looks great!! Like the clam, and it seems happy. (Keep in mind that I know absolutely nothing about clams) lol. But it seems like it opened up a little- that's good, right??
 
Everything looks beautiful! The brain adds such a nice splash of color. And the clam looks really cool. Nice additions!
 
I still can't believe how big the clam is. I have the shell from the maxima that died outside the tank and put it infront of it. Man, size of a quarter vs a 6-8 inch across monster. My jaw hit the floor when I picked it up.
 
Just have to say it that tank is magnificent and with mostly mail order that is the best tank I have seen with most of the corals mail order and one of the best personal tanks I've seen
 
Thank you. It has been quite the struggle to find just what I was looking for. The open brain and clam surprised me this time around. I've gotten pretty used to how things arrive in the mail. The clam is big. The brain, I was expecting another plain jane coral. I had myself prepared for an all green favia or something. I was kinda sad that it was an open brain at first. I have already killed 2 of them in the past, never even inflating themselves. I'm really believing that it is because of how powerful the Ecotech Radions are. Now that I have realized this and adjusted, things are doing much better. I literally sat infront of my tank for quite some time watching the brain inflate. Totally new experience, nothing in my tank is like it. Now to work out the technical bits with my dslr so everyone can see what I do as well.
 
I decided today after doing research last night that the reason my acro is brown is from too much zoo. How to decrease the zoo? Lower nutrients in water and increase light. Radions turned up 7%.

I agree for acro color more light
 
I don't want it up too high though. The red planet acro has developed the green around the base and is just stunning. I now have the 3 acros that will keep me content, just need to get the color out of the starburst, it was a beautiful blue. Polyps still are. But like I said, intensity is turned up. Hopefully doesn't upset the Lps.

Absolutly i agree dont wanna add to much light to quickly i was just saying more intense light creates more intense colors im new to the led world ive always used mh so far i like the mh better and will probably go back to them seems like my acros had way better color under the mh
 
Well I really like my radions. They have provided results. The penetration through the water is crazy, if I could read the par I would provide the results. I've never used mh, so I can't compare. I've thought about it on a future build...but being honest I just need to buy a home first. But so far, turning up the radions aiming at around 70% hopefully.
