Thanks man! even the pictures on May 13th, 2010 I can believe how small those corals were and how much more rocks I have then! am not 100% down as the way I look at this is the glass is half full, for a while every time I go to the LRS I tell my self I wish I had extra space for those SPS and now I do!

I'm sad to hear about your lighting troubles. Why did you switch away from halides?
I've always wanted to try out a complete T5 setup as I've seen some great results with them.

I was forced to switch to the T5 fixture as one of the UV glass on the MH DE broke and I could not find a replacement glass fast enough.

Good luck with your new build! and as always thanks for the compliments!

You couldn't just go to a glass shop?

I'm sure you will get good results provided you picked a fixture that is well-suited to your tank, but I think it will be a few months at least before you're really on the turn around. Lighting is probably the biggest thing to change. Time will brighten things up!

Awesome tank, love the colors! Simple layout but chaotic with all the SPS
