Crappy quality photodump time!
Been a while since an update, so here are some photos since its been set up and running.
this was the first itteration of everything witht he scape and lighting,
Then i decided to change some things up a bit. Also some more information if anyone cares.
Updated photodump. Finally have t5's installed and man i love the look of the led+t5! from now till i stop reefing ill be keeping a hybrid light of some sort.
For bulbs i went with ATI and did Blue+, Purple + Coral + and blue + but im thinking of replacing the coral + with either an actinic bulb or another purple plus.
Also bought some Dry rock and tossed in the tank, little different scape and not nearly as open as before but with this setup there is a lot more options for growing coral.
And finally some pictures! Enjoy.

Where i think im gonna put the euphillya area. Currently on left side
The unhappy RBTA.. hasnt been too happy since the swap over to this tank. Im thinking its from the change in lighting from PC to led/t5
Shrooms
Rics
This is all less than 24 hours after adding the rock and messing with stuff so no one is overly happy in the photos, Ill try to upload some new ones once everhting settles down.
Really want my RBTA to go back to its former glory..
And the final progress update:
Update, Anemone split in 2 and not 3 like i had thought it was going to! Looking much better after split!
Update 2.. It appears my plating monti has begun to STN..... Not sure what its from but if i had to guess it was the 5 days without the vortech turned on. I had it off in case my anemones decided to release from the rock and i didnt want them sucked up and blended.
I noticed this on monday night (was away from home all weekend) and turned the vortech on monday night as well. You can see the edges have started peeling a decent amount, and there are 2 or 3 spots of flesh towards the middle that have dissapeared.
What do i do to combat it? I have turned the vortech on to replace the missing flow, I am doing a watertest as my Hannah checkers came in finally so we will see if its a nutrient problem or not.
If it was just the flow will having it back on keep the stn from continuing?
Sorry for the giant post, but thanks for stopping by
