Do you have a preference between the queen and the blue face? Appearance or personality wise?
I think both look quite similar in colours but Queen has very nice long dosal and anal fin which makes me like to watch it swims.

But becareful, Queen is very fierce. Its now really the Queen of my tank. Unless i introduce a KING in.

Oh man!!! That is awesome stuff Reefplayer.

You guys are the reason I went with an SPS system. I can't wait for my tank to mature.

I may be biased, but does anyone else think that an SPS reef is much more attractive than a mixed or softy reef? I do

Thanks for your all encouragement and support.

Hope it can last forever. Minimum work for maintenance as i have designed in such a way that i am not a slave to my tank rather. But now problem overgrowing as they fighting each other for space, thus i have to frag and trim once a month. I sold some, throw some, but recently managed to ship some out via local LFS.

Michael, to answer your questions.

Yes i am running ozone. for my 350G, i set at 450mV
I am using TMpro salt with TM Pro coral K element & A element during water change of 5% weekly.
Using BLV 14,000k 400W 3nos with supplment of deltec and ATI T5.

Cheers.
reerplayer/Stanley

Very impressive tank!! It looks like you are running BB. Has it been bb the whole time or a recent change or is there sand and I missed it? Any problems with it? Also where are your overflows?
