Yes that is an urchin. He was actually up at the surface with his mouth out of water yesterday catching the chunk of food was so cool as he was only holding onto the glass with a few spikes from one side of him. I do feel sorry for him right now as he came out of the 90 with lots of coraline to the 75 with none. So I'm feeding lots of extra sheets of seaweed and pellets to at least give him something to eat so far so good. Wish I could speed up the coraline growth in the tank, he's already stripped all of the rocks clean

what was the shipping like on the reef bar pros? They seem to put out a ton of light!!! A little worried about the spotlighting though...
Your tank is really awesome! I love the rock work and you have some lovely fish in there. Any problems with the flame nipping corals? I had a rusty and he ate my zoos and lps

I think the reefbar a shipped with two of the su setter controllers was approx $375 us? I know it was less then $400. One is uv set up the other is white blue. Spot lighting is not too bad if I'd keep messing with my tank and stirring it up. When water is clear it's not as obvious.

I redid my sump and frag tank setup tonight. When I picked up the new tank it came with an acrylic sump and it gave me an idea. As I don't have many frags for running a larger separate system right now I put the sump together as a self contained system, 3 chambers, one has cheato, one has frags and one has pump and hang on skimmer setup. All have rock in them. It's approx 35 gal complete and likely turns over quite rapidly as I have a mag9 running in it.
Now if anyone has some frags they be willing to part with on a fairly low budget price that would be awesome. I'd also like to get some other varieties of cheato or calpurea as the one I have is like ramen noodle. I'd like something more edible for the tangs.
You will notice on the sump picture my Gravity ATO super easy and super cheap to set up, need to raise the glass box up so I can also tie it into the frag system.
