So the 3 month old tank recently turned 6 months. Here's an update.
Ditched the kangaroo dosing bags. I wasn't able to slow it down enough so I started dosing 2 part by hand. Changed bulbs from 10k to 14k. I like the color of these bulbs better. Rearranged the sump to accommodate the Octopus Extreme 200. Recently picked up a yellow tang from Daniel.Thanks Again! Ditched the cheato in the fuge.I got tired of it finding it's way into the display. Got my Ac jr recently. Still not using it to it's full potential.Added a Koralia 4 to the mix and took out the 2 koralia 1's! Flow from powerheads is now 3400gph. Still looking to upgrade that.Well that's it for now. Here's some pics from tonight. Actinic only. One is with flash.

Thank you. I need to update this thread. I recently added a frag holder at the top of the tank for corals not getting enough light or were to close to another coral. Hopefully they'll color back up from being shaded. I've taken my husbandry to another level by buying test kits. I don't know how this tank has lasted so long with out having them! Just added cheato to a section of my sump with a little light for nutrient export. Will see how good this works! Last time I tried cheato, it ended up in my display. Still slacking on water changes :smck: . I want to change 5g every Saturday, but am lucky if I do 10g every 2 and a half weeks. I'll update some pics also. Got some new pieces that are pretty impressive!

You have never had test kits? You have never tested your water, or did a LFS do it?

In the very beginning I had a LFS check to see if my water was done with the cycle but that was it. Same with my 40g that I had for 6 months. I would just dose. Everything was fine but I don't feel like I have the growth that some people do( http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/aquarium-corals/38323-frag-growth.html )

Hey adam thanks for your input on my thread http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/saltwater-fish/39706-tang-65g.html#post570741
I would like to know a bit more about your tank. I'm asking here because on my thread too many on my tang banwagon with their high heals , lol. So how your tang doing?,,, and i was going for anthias as well ; we defenitaly have the same tastes. Do you really have to feed your Anthias 3 time a day???hope not. You see i'll be gone for 45 days and my buddy will be feeding my fishes every 2 days. The rest of my fishes are ok with that , they've survived with this routine for the last year. So when i leave for 45 days they'll be fed only every 2 days. How many fishes do you have in your tank .
