My tank runs 80 - 84 degrees... no chiller. I run fans and do evaporate around 3-4 gallons a day, which helps me when
it comes to topping off with kalkwasser.

Beautiful corals. Keep up the good work.

Have you noticed any aggression from your yellow tang?

My yellow tang is a sweet

... He spends the whole day hanging out with my Kole tang.

I used to have a Sohal tang that carried around a pair of switchblades... and knew how to use them. The only other aggressive fish I have kept was a Maroon Clown... "meaner than a junkyard dog".

Water flow, lighting, and calcium, those are for sure the SPS requiremnts along with good water parameters. Kudos to you!

Sweet!
Love the red shrooms and rics!

Jay-Thanks for the tip on the epoxy putty. I picked some up at the lfs today and it worked like a charm on my new torch coral. I have to admit, I was a little timid at first, but I'm hooked now.

Very nice Jfk! Awesome reef! Well done

I'm glad it worked out. It works great for fragging too... stick your frag into the epoxy then onto a small piece of live rock or rubble.

Thanks... It's nice to hear that every once in a while.

Sometimes we get so consumed viewing all the outrageous reefs out there, that we don't take the time to look at our own tank and appreciate what we have.

Thanks again...
