Sorry, not much to update. Been trying to get the water in check. Didn't realize reg IO , Alk was so high & mag & cal was so low - stupid . I usually use reef crystals but thought I'd cheap out & fill the tank with reg. , thinking I'd be cycling for a month or 2 .
Also haven't been able to snap a good pic of tank yet , gotta pull out real camera & see what I can snap.
All fish & corals seem to be doing okay , a little browning here & there , but to be expected . Also starting to go thru algae phase of a new tank 😝

Awesome setup! I love the shelf structure on the left, and that green monti-cap really adds a great dimension to the rock-scape! Im running the same lighting, 2 x kessil A360WE and 4 x T5's, lots of flexibility and options. Tagging along.

very nice set up. im considering doing a similar depth tank (30") and was wondering what the coverage of the 3 kessils is like (website says they have a 24" radius)? Did you add the T5's to supplement the kessils, or because they did not cover the whole tank?

thanks,

Geoff

The Kessils cover fairly well . Adding T5's cause I have them & thought I'd give them a try . That way I can add different color as well .
Should be done by weekend & I'll snap a pic.


Just got back from Ryan's with a few frags . Crossing fingers !!!!
Thanks Ryan .
