I don't know what my hydro bill is, but considering my tank is in my garage and cooler this time of year my heaters probably add to the consumption... the mh is on 6hrs@ 400w the kessils are running a max of 40% now so that's about 40w per unit. Led and t5 run for 7hrs at 106w.

Colour is amazing.

Thanks Shao and Galizeo, definately worth the money for these Kessils love the look of the blue led shimmer and coverage.

��Thank you Franco, when setting up this tank I wanted the brightest pieces for the corals I could find, some came at a hefty price.... I decided that my Euphyllia garden would be littered in gold yellow and oranges no greens. The same idea goes for the other Lps and Zoas, I still keep some green like neon trumpets, a Yuma, and GSP in the sump...oh yah and the space invader pectinia.

The orange thing above the yellow zoas is a montipora setosa, fairly cheap and abundant now in the hobby but still one of my favourites because of the intense colour.

Thanks Tyler, kinda worried now that I'll be leaving in a week to sunny Cancun, hope everything will be well when I get back.

Thanks Myka and Yes!

I'll see if I can upload a pic of the blasto, it's one of the first pieces in my tank and when I originally bought the coral it was displayed under uv purple light to my amazement the coral has some cool veins that light up crazy under the LEDs.

Found it here you go!

Foto time....

So I recently went for vacation to sunny Cancun and on my short absence had my tank fed lightly 2x a day. When I got back there was algae on the glass and a lot of detritous on the floor. I've spent a total of 8 hrs cleaning the tank sump and feeding this week. Weekly tests are on par but would like to focus on feeding the corals and fish more so my next vacation the tank can sustain less feedings. There seems to also be an imbalance in the tank as I am getting abit of cyano, part of this is due to adding some dry rock that must've leached abit. I will have to change out the rowaphos this weekend and start adding abit more nitrates and also do a 20g wc next week.

I purchased a new clam as the other ones didn't make it after dosing fluconezol and vibrant. I am still doing smaller vibrant doses Bi weekly to keep the few bubble algaes left at bay. On a side note the sps are growing like no tommorow, and I've added a green RFA to the collection and lastly a orange gold goni.

Sorry for the bad pic but gold and teal clam


Not a clear pic but green RFA



Just a random pic of the frag rack with a few new sps and documenting growth on the older stuff.


Lastly a yellow orange gold goni, I burrowed the pic from my buddy Dave as my phone camera sucks.
