Very nice mattie. Unique, I like it!

I think the hardest part of setting up a new tank is not over filling it right away with live rock. Looking ahead and planning for coral growth definitely saves money on live rock. Every time I've rearraged my tank, as I bought corals and they grew, I've had rock left over.
Yep... i like to learn the hard way

Looking good Mattie. Do you run the MH and the VHO all day together? Those VHO really make it super blue.

i have 3 timers for the lights
1 65w pc actinc for dawn dusk 1-2hours alone in the morning and night
the vho's run for 8-9 hrs and the mh's run for 7-8 hrs
so yes all the light run at once minus the power compact
thanks for the kind words
i am toying with the idea to run 10k xm's becouse the super blue makes the tank look dark even if it is super bright

The tank is lookin good Matt. If you want I can bring over my Xm 10K's and we can try it. I think you will like the color and it will help your frags grow faster.
