I nearly lost a little Chili Pepper monti frag, but it's grown back and starting to encrust!

50% right now and things are looking a little better since I turned them down.

How do you like that omega 130 is it as quite as you say it is.
I have the 150 and its very loud.

Do you have or know anyone with glass suction cup lifting tool. My tank is to heavy to get off the floor with two people.
I think I might have to use 2 by 4s to shimmy it off the floor

Hey, sorry for the late reply! The 130 is quiet, but is it as quiet as YOU think it is, I don't know. I love it personally. Not sure about the suction cups tool, try a local glass company.

A few update pics. I got an incredible male Potter's Wrasse this week, he's already eating frozen mysis and brine shrimp well but it's early days. I hope he settles in ok, he's pretty skinny. He's quick, so it's hard to get his face in focus!

I'm getting pretty good growth out of my acropora plana, it's encrusting a lot more than it's growing out, but doing well. After turning down my Radion's ive found things colouring up a bit better. Still trying to tweak things to avoid algae growth and get all SPS to colour up and grow. I think I need to move a couple pieces to get better growth, but im hesitant to move them around.

My chalice is exploding! It's defintely one of my favourite pieces. I have a couple frags that are encrusting their plugs nicely. I get a bit of green slime in lower flow areas when I overdose the amino acids. Im still balancing out the tanks dosage and need. I've cut back in favour of over feeding the fish instead to see how things shape up.

I think that's one of the best potter wrasse I have ever seen....wish I can house one but a bit tough (impossible)with no sand.
I found with LED's if you dial the white down and pump up the blues the corals react much better to it and as the acclimate to the intensity then you can slowly dial it up.

Anyways, sps are looking happy and fuzzy, keep up the good work.
