well thats kinda the thing......you are never gonna make 100% of all your coral happy 100% of the time.....there was plenty of stuff that I tried under T5 that didnt do well, never colored up properly or just plain died.....now of course I never took pics of that stuff so most people didnt see it......I imagine that it will be much the same with LED......I was just looking closely last night and I noticed that a couple of my LPS have already started growing on to the epoxy that is nailing them down, so thats a good sign.....

Thanks George


some good new and some bad news.....

first the bad.....I lost my royal gramma the other day....had him for close to three years....the ick finally won the battle.....

the good news is, I think I may finally be getting the hang of Girlys camera....I finally got the color somewhat true to life.....

Im not hiding.....Im still here.....and your right, the bachelor days are over....I have to mellow out and answer to Girly now


there isnt really a ton to update.....the tank is still recovering from the move.....looking like arse....oodles of cyano..... browned out sps.....fish with ick....freakin aiptasia.....not a tank Im super proud of ATM.....Ive been trying to be light on what I put in it, in an attempt to let things stabilize....Ive started dosing coral snow(just cuz I have it) to try and help knock back the cyano......I have also re-programed the "red" out of the radions....not sure if the red is helping the cyano or not, but I figured it couldnt hurt to try.....I added 5 berghia nudis a while back and it is finally looking like the population of aiptasia is starting to decline.....

Ive had some free time this summer(for a change) and took full advantage of it....lots of R&R, but I did mange to get all my electrical cleaned up, my RO water storage and salt mixing tank up and running and 95% of my coral glued down......wow, I guess there was more to update then I thought

here's a few more pics
