It's a tad bit bright but the corals in direct spread are exploding in growth! My Mohawk palys have gone from 3 polyps to well over 200 in the span of 6 months.

Well its been a while since I've updated sooo

The last couple months have been a little choppy, unfortunately we lost the Achilles at around the month point to a really intense case of ich. None of the other fish were affected but we ended up purchasing a cleaner wrasse, luckily he loves to eat brine. On top of that MY FREAKING CANDY APPLE FRAG MELTED :mad2:... gah, I don't think I will be purchasing single polyp frags in the future.

Oddly all 4 of our mandarins have disappeared, I'm not sure what to attribute this too as there is an abundance of microfauna around the tank. I hope there isn't something evil lurking in the liverock.

After snagging a few new zoa rocks we decided to reaquascape, took a few quick shots afterwords so I will grab some nicer ones tomorrow.

Mangroves are loving the 400W HPS just as much as the coral is!

Sorry to hear about the Achilles. There's one sitting in my lfs that I am contemplating on wether or not to bring him home, but chances of it surviving is less than 10 percent. 275 is a lot of money to spend on on fish who's out come is most likely in the toilet. But they sure are wicked looking.

Nice photos. Your tank is very unique and interesting. I was wondering if when you have some time, you can snap some photos of the mangrove set up and your equipment set up for me. I would love to see it.
