| Acropora ![]() | Re: New 240 Tank cheeks69, I posted some new pics in my gallery. Take a peek, you can see that the sps frags I got from Brian are doing quite well. They are coloring up and growing nicely.

| Wannabe Guru ![]() | Re: New 240 Tank Dave here's an incredible 110 gal SPS tank lit by only T'5s and the colors and growth are great so it can be done successfully and you don't have to worry about heat from the Halides. I don't remember if I posted a link before but here it is anyway: http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2005-03/totm/index.php

| Acropora ![]() | Re: New 240 Tank Yeah, believe it or not (just to give you a perspective on size) there is 130 lbs of base rock, 70 lbs of TBS rock and 45 lbs of Fiji in there... along with about 200 lbs of sand.... if you look at compairison shots, all the cyno is gone in the sand bed now, coraline is going nuts on the back wall (actually all over), the Regal has tripled in size (it's now about 4 inches long), one of the clowns at least 2.5 times the size (female) the other doubled in size (male), the anemone is three times it's size, the frags I got from brian are all doubled in size, so I would have to say things are doing well.....
