I've been adding quite a bit of stuff lately. I have to slow down and let the system catch up though.

Sailfin and Kole tang, my favorite duo, well chosen. :)
Your setup is looking great and you already have coraline encrusting the back wall, a sign that you are indeed on track with your water parameters. You may have mentioned earlier but what is your method of keeping your calc / alk in check? Dosing two part? Frequent water changes? Kalkwasser?

beautiful tank, love the lights...
Thanks man, the light are pretty sleek :)

how are you finding the magnet strength of the mp40s and the 3/4" glass?
The magnets work just as expected. On 3/4 glass you do use the pin spacer at all.

I love the dimensions of this tank! Keep up the great work!
How are you liking those lights for growing your sps?

Thanks man, the dimensions are pretty cool. It's long and narrow. Works well for tangs :)
The light are working great and SPS are growing well. I've not had any success with LED in the past. I've used DYI and Sol blues. So far the RAdions looks great. It's only during high noon that the colour don't look that great. BUt again, what corals look good under 10k spectrum lol.

I just love how the spectrum shifts from 20k all the way up to 10k and back down to 20 through out the day.

The only problem I see in the future is, there is some shading on the corals bases and where the light doesn't hit you can see some die back. I might have to add another one.

absolutely love it !
Thank you, I'm just happy to be able to enjoy it now :)

Love the light fixture. Do you think it's good to cover 28" width tank. (my tank)
The light is really nice. I think you will need 2 - Xr15pro for 28" or one Xr30pro. The 2 - Xr15 will give you more freedom with spreading the slight. My tank is 84 long and I have 4. I might need another one.

Looks wonderful! The red dragon frag looks happy. And I love how the school of Anthias looks :D.

Thanks man. The frags are doing very well so far. No browning and/or deaths yet lol. The school of Anthias is truly amazing. They school very very well.
They eat like pigs as well. I was very fortunate to find this group at Sea U. The Hawaiian Bi-coluours are known to be great eaters and do better then other ones that are commonly offered. Their temperament is very appealing as well. They don't hide, hang out in the open water column and following me from end to end looking for some food :)

Thanks man, the duo is working out very well. They are very happy together for the most part. I want to add just one more tang. But I'm worried about upsetting the mix so far. I'm thinking a Powder blue tang will add a nice pop. I'm just worried because the Sailfin can be quite territorial.

As for the Coraline, it has taken hold and pretty quickly as well. The tanks been running for just over 3 months. I'm trying to keep the back wall clean so I scrapped it all a way :) I hate coraline but it's a good sign none the less.

As for my parameters, I really haven't done much for the first 2 months. Most corals were only settling in. But now that I've added more stuff, I've kept my parameters rock solid using 2 part and my GHL doser. I might switch to ESV as they make 5 gallon buckets and Sea u carries them in stock :)
Water changes are done every 2 weeks. 20 gallons at a time. Approximately 200g total water volume.
I hope that helps.

Holy crap!!! That is one amazing setup!!!!


Amazing is right ;););)

:D:D:D Hahaha, thanks guys! I'm happy to share :)

I just can't wait for these SPS frags to grow out already. I've placed my SPS by colour so I'm hoping they grow in and have a good colour mix. I just have to figure out how to get them to grow faster.

Alk 8
Ca 400-450
Mag 1350
P04 0.06

thanks
