You need to take some snaps of the secret room. The tank looks amazing.

Keeperz very nice tank! great frags I envy your coral collection and must say great job!! however I wanted to point something out and if i'm wrong here no biggie just disregard but if I'm right you dont owe me anything more than thx...
I'll start by saying that while viewing your pics I saw a few corals that the underside of the coral looked like they may have pale circles while others were fine but then I came across this pic take a look closely at the branch on the very left about 1/3 down the coral it appears to have egg mass on the under side now again I could be wrong but i'm viewing this on my 42" pc moniter so pics appear larger and therefore easier to see. After battling the dreaded aefw's that most seem to have I know what to look for and am always looking for signs of infestation when buying frags and colonies at my lfs even from other reefers, so again I really hope I'm wrong and it was just the way the pic appeared on my moniter cheers Chris

Tang Daddy- I always appreciate info and that's what makes RC so interesting to read,no problem, but I have not had any fights or losses with AEFW in this tank whatsoever.Everything gets treated before planted and I am always looking my corals over, in saying that, I do need a new sigma 150 macro lens for better pics-I sold my cannon 100 awhile back

Wentreefgirl-not sure which pic your referring too,the one Tang Daddy posted is a yongie,is that the one?

Jester-thank you, much appreciated!

Oldude- Thank you also, man I envy your corals, I hope my stuff can grow up to be like yours!!

KEEPERZ-

The FTS is beautiful along with the frags/small colonies. I hope my frags grow up to look as good as their parents!

Rharr21-Thank you- but you know all parents like growth pictures of their children

Cweder-So far I am good with them, they are a bit dimmer then the reeflux 12k's though,but they are growing on me, I blame Sunnyx and CAreefer for switching up to 20k's .Thank you Cweder!

How long have you been running the Helios now? I've been thinking about either the 12K Reeflux or Helios, running on a Coralvue 400W E ballast. I think about the same as the Galaxy from what I've read.

Tank is looking sharp!

Snyder-thank you! That pc.has been pretty happy and is showing good colors under the 20k's so far, I should start direct feeding it.
NewSchool-Eric at FragFarmer got me going on them in July and the colors are real close to the 12k's just slightly dimmer but the par is suppose to be better, growth does seem a little better.Post pics when you change out the bulbs and Thank you!

I was running reeflux 12k's before and I still like them, but I want to see how long the Helios last before I know which I like better.

I like the blue but dim is not what I'm looking for. I'm going to try out the 12K Reeflux and see what I think.

Keep the pics coming!

Really Nice frags!

Don't you have alot of micro algae lurking about in there?
One little slip and boom...or should I say bloom? Might want to think about some snails to keep that in check before a problem. Like I say looking good other than that.

Fastfish-thank you, the aquascape evolved to what it is, seems like I kept removing rock every chance I could.

CleveYank-I have a bad habit of overfeeding when adding new fish,but I do need to add some more snails.There's only about 25 in there.
