So what are you thinking Brad... every 9 months for replacement bulbs now? maybe even 6?
What is your lighting schedule like?

The sand bed is intended to be decorative and is only 1" to 2" deep. It is crushed coral that came from Florida and is the substrate that naturally surrounds the live rock in that area.

Anemone spawning
When I returned from two weeks holiday, the tank had moved in a few ways.
1) Things got too hot (hitting 85 degrees F a few times). It turns out this was primarily because someone accidently shut off my ventilation fan. That won't happen again. 2) Salinity got a bit lower than I would prefer...measuring 1.020 when I got back. Overall, I lost another 3 or 4 coral colonies...and browned out a few others. One of the gobies hasn't yet been seen, but that isn't entirely unusual. We'll see. So...some rapid salinity adjustment, a water change, and getting the fan turned back on seems to have returned the tank to as normal as normal has been for the past while. Here's the interesting part...the events seem to have triggered a massive spawning. My urchins spawned last night and.... for the first time in 12 years, my carpet anemone spawned at the same time. This turned the tank so milky you could barely see into it and I was very concerned that the tank couldn't take it. By next morning, all was fine aside from a slight unusual smell and a LOT of skimate. While spawning, the anemone changes shape distinctly....stretching itself as high as possible and forming a "cup" shape. It seems my anemone is a male...or..it was this time.

I thought I would shock everyone by providing an update! Things in the tank are going well. I should actually be back in the frag business again soon. All I did to fix things was change my water change procedure. Now, I vacuum the sand bed every week and discard 50 gallons on vacuum water during the 50 gal change.
