Thanks man I am really waiting for this tank to take off and hit its stride so to speak. I just hooked up a CaRx so hopefully it helps keep things more stable

Tank has been good. No big hiccups. I have been in and out of the hosp for the last few weeks with this bad pain in my side, so I haven't been able to do much. I did slice the nem in half though.

Here are some updated shots of the reef.

Tank looks fantastic. Love that green nem. I got mine from a guy who cut it a couple months ago. It still hasn't fully healed. Once in a while it will bubble up and look great but must time it has no bubble. My rose on the other hand...............

So far they grow easy corals great. I am starting to introduce the harder stuff now. I have a couple pearlberries and a few other milles/other acros that I am testing the light out with now. So far so good though. I have them at around 60%white 100% blues, so maybe I need to start bumping it up a bit.

Thanks. That one nem I have never deflates, always has nice bubbles. I don't get why it doesn't, not that I am complaining. I want to get me a nice rose as well, just a matter of time

I got my RBTA in a group buy from LA Reef. Paid $50 for it. It was advertised as a 4" but had to be every bit of 5" when it arrived. In a couple months it has grown to be better than 6" when fully extended. I would definitely buy from LA Reef again.

Thanks, I will have to check em out.

With that said here are some updated shots of the tank and a few new corals.



Here is a rainbow mille I picked up at a friends house a few weeks ago. The color is unreal in person.




Pink lemonade frag I got today so polyps really aren't out.


Superman mille also from the swap.


Ice fire echinata.


Finally my cliff hanger tigertail cucumber.

Looking great. Love the full tank shot. In the 3 months I have had my tigertail cucumber (although I thought it was called a tigerspot) I have seen it exactly 2 times. LOL

Thank you. Lights so far are doing well. I have decent growth and I love the color. I am debating on adding 1x54w Fiji Purp to the mix. I am curious to see if itll give methe boost/full spectrum help of a T5.
