Water temp was cold. About 55f.

Haahaa and here I thought they looked great! Honestly, the pictures aren't doing them justice. The tissue on the blue tipped tenuis looked a little rough but the rest looked ok to my layman's eye.

I'm suggesting I am the simpleton someone who is more familiar with SPS would have to dumb down their explanation of SPS care to :) I could have went with inexperienced, would have worked better.

That is pretty cold - I debated about adding another heat pack - I guess I should have added it.

Thanks everyone :) Yep, it's trying to steal the spotlight from the fish and corals. I have another 11 sticks to put up into the rocks but I am waiting for them acclimate a little more. I will move them half way up the tank tonight and then affix them to the rocks on the weekend. That should be enough time for them to get used to the light hopefully.

I'd love everyones opinions on where they'd put some key SPS in my tank. I have a green Dragon, Red planet, a couple nice hairy milli's (a blue and a peach), a blue stag and a tort. A couple more but you can see them on the previous page sitting in a pail.

All opinions welcome!
