Yes that is a damsel. I liked the color and he was cheap. The extra light could be why I don't get pe, but who knows.

Tank: 120 gal with a dsb

Lighting: 2 x 400w 15K on the sides, 1 x 250w 10K middle, 2 x 40w actinic bulbs and 2 led moon lights

Flow: 2 x mag 9 return pumps, 2 seios, 1 maxijet and 2 koralia 1 on wave timer

Other: geo calcium reactor, asm skimmer(?), AC jr, chiller

Chemistry: Nitrates 0, Calcium 420, Alk 10, Mg 1320, temp 79.5 - 80.5

I used to do water changes about once every 6 months. Now after talking to Golan and hoping to increase my PE I'm doing about 10% every week. I've also recently started to add and monitor my mg level and that is really making a difference with the pe and the growth rate. I also run carbon in the sump and change it every month or so. I find the less I put my hand in the tank the better everything does.
