Gorgeous looking tank! I'm super jealous you are able to keep both SPS and LPS happy and healthy in the same system.

So on your LPS, I'm assuming there is some rock under them, but as they grow, will they just expand onto the sand bed?

So, Rich... Now that you've had the Mitras over your tank how about a review and when will you be hanging 6 over your tank?

Thanks stones, I will try to post some better pictures. I have a large fish load and feed the crap out of them, literally. Combine that with aggressive nutrience export and that's how I keep both happy.

I am not quite sure, I just kind of drop them where they land.

My levels are usually around 7dkh 380-420 calcium and mag is .....

Rich, it was great hanging out with you and Peter again! The tank is amazing as always... One can really lose track of time just standing in front of your display tank... The variety of fish and corals... Can't help but feel like I am actually in the reef! And then there is the famous frag tank... It is finally nice to see some space in there ( ). Id give it a few weeks and you'll probably have it full with new and rare frags again. Glad I was able to take some vids of your tank. I don't look at my tank anymore.

Looking forward to your video composition soon!

Wayne,

Thanks very much for taking the video for me, much appreciated! I will have the video up as soon as I get some time to edit it. You know you guys are real jerks. Now I want to switch up my AI sols for some colors. Maybe I will have to sell my 12 sols and buy some fancy ones like the Mitra or Vegas but .....pipe dreams. lol
