That's a lot of light. Excited to see how this progresses week by week.

Thanks I hope it all works out for the best lol. Just need to get all 100% stable and things should take off including the frags for the competition. We will see but yes it is definitely a lot of light. I'm excited to everyone's results and what they did to accomplish how they got it. Time will tell.

Yep and I still want to add t-5 just to see if there is a difference in growth or color. If I had room I would add 3-250watts also lol. But the les seem to be doing a great job.http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07/19/9d311c5c6effcdd2b1cda03dc7416d53.jpg
I'm not the guy who wants the tank to grow out over night so I'm happy with what I have. Just want healthy corals with good color. Give it a couple years and it will be grown out like everyone likes to see. My larger sps I've had for 3yrs and grown out by led, the top highest sps was only a frag when I 1st put it in my 65g. What kind of light are you guys using? And how many?

Ok well I knocked off one of the palys and glued it back then it fell off again but I found it and need to get it and reglue. I did notice a new baby on the one that's still attached and the one that fell off already attached to a live crab she'll.http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/05/b8975b5109cde8a16233aa681de2560f.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/05/4f7c4de41ec77eb1abe60cdeda2a0502.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/05/031d5e78fbcc16fdd1f5abff59ad66ad.jpg

Doesn't look like much change but I do have a new paly baby so I'm back to 2 heads cuz I lost the other so where in my tank.http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/14/d93df299d9e319146685831cb76cf2c8.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/14/e7e065fe3a4eadfbec9c263aa115dddb.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/14/96fe9167807f65e8f4eba8cf66c40d88.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/14/37e1328bec796ac7ddfe3c26595c5f28.jpg

The color on your Acro is beautiful! I also have a problem with hermits knocking off Paly and Zoa frags that have been glued to plugs. I think I lose around 25% of my Zoa frags that way.

[Reefnub]

Thanks the sps has pretty good color but is growing slow. Yep I was the big crab that knocked paly loose then I guess I didn't do a good job reglueing it. I wish everything was growing better but realized my doser isn't dosing alk like it should be and maybe that's why I can't get alk dialed in.

Well if they cant settle due to being knocked around, that could be it too. Lol

Sps is growing down to the plug, 2-palys still, and the other looks like it maybe growing a new mouth but I'm unsure.

Sps is encrusting the plug still. And still only 2 mouths and no plug encrusting and the other. Can remember what it's called.

Looking good Tony

[Reefnub]

Thanks Alton! I wired it with Crystals help like expert electricians. Ended up being pretty clean job which I was pretty impressed. Anyways the temp in 7 hrs rose 2-1/2 degrees so I cut back to 4 hrs a day and see what happens.

I have one baby paly so not much going on there growth wise. Chalice has grown but no more mouths have appeared. Sps is still in rusting the plug. I will do a water change tonight- been almost a month and will be adding gfo. Phos test says 0 but I'm cleaning the glass everyday.

So update is I have 3 mouths on my chalice and a potential to have 2 more, I have 3 paly 2 full grown and one baby which I'll try to get a pic of tomorrow. Sps has encrusted the plug more but hasn't grown up any or any new arms. Prolly should have mounted it to the Rock and maybe got better growth since I'm always moving it to clean the glass.

3 palys lost 1 out of the 2 I started with. Sps looks to be finally doing something, and my chalice looks like it's got 5 mouths now when I started with 2. Hard to tell until the tentacles one out.
