Looks like i put these in the wrong way. You have to scroll to the left of page to see pictures.

Wow! you really loaded the guy up quick!
Be sure to keep an eye on your water quality to keep them happy. All those sps will suck up a ton of Ca, Alk and Mg as they grow. Looks good!

Wow!!! That's just beautiful. And a ton very quickly, too. Anything fish-y going in there or is it coral garden?

Thanks. I have on the 46 gal. 4 vhos. 2-attinics and 2-super attinics i will be added 1-400 watt. mh. 10 k-xm this weekend i ordered the bulb and a 36 in. reflecter today from premiem in indy. I also run 1- iwasaki md40 about 800 gph. that transfers water to and from sump and i have another one in a closed loop, and then i have a wave timer with one rio 1700 i think i have plenty of movement but still have some dead spots. I am running a cal. reactor,a protien skimmer,i add dts phytoplankton and reefs solutions every couple of days. I have 4-fish in the tank 1-blue tang,a six line wrasse,and 2 green blue cromas. I feed the fish every other day i use baby brine ,and emeral entree. This seems to work out well for fish and corals. I have 1-400 watt. mh. 20000 k. on the 29 gal. tank no atinics. My water quality has been vary stable i check all every 7 days now and do a water change of 12 gal. every 2 weeks but i am going to start to do it every 4 weeks. and see how that goes i would see to much diff. in mag. so i will try this for awhile. Water chemistry. Temp. 79.4/ph is always between 8.07 and 8.25/kh-9.3/alk-3.31/mag-1440/cal-450/sal.1.25 no amonia/nitrates/or nitrites. I keep a close eye on it. I do have a chiller for back up just in case the water in the tank starts to heat up the system after i put the 400-watter on the tank. Thanks again everyone. Dan.
