Ok here are some pictures. I ordered some new light bulbs from Catalina Aquarium, a 10k 150w hqi, and 2 24w ultra atinics. They got some good reviews from reefcentral, and their prics are really good. My fixture is a odyessa, cant peat the price on the thing, its built well, but i think the lights are crap. Right now there is a 20k 150w, and 2 24w atinics, there colors are kind of funky though, for a 20k the tank is awfully white. Anyway got a prizm skimmer, doesnt skim much but it works, my water params are 0 Amon. 0 NO2, 5 - 10 NO3, 1350Mg, 450 Ca, 13 dKh, Ph is 8.0. I have trouble keeping the ph high. Run a airstone once in a while and it helps. The tank has only been cycled for 5 months. Three fish, 40lbs of rock and prob 30 lbs of sand. All these pictures are right before work and right after lights came on so things are not really open. Oh yea Atinics run for 12 hours, MH for 6.
Piece of Poli that has been struggling for a while after falling into a torch now is dying off. I have a few little frags of this, dont see any polys coming out anymore.
Piece of poor acro not doing well. When I got it, it looked like the one in Johns avatar.
The LPS's are doing well, the green candy has grown a head, the red candy i was trying to save was devoid of life is coming back.
rest of tank looks good, but i get little to no "growth" even from the zoas.
