( that was the first thing i noticed lol .. i like em but think they cost too much ) nice report tho mang.. it would be cool if you could doc you tank growth at the end of every month along with it's calk consumption and other perm related stuff ( would like to know how much calk they eat up as they grow just for kicks )
also would like to add that im also a anime freek , have about 200 gigs of it , there like cartoons the the extreem!!!!

Looking good.
Seems like a lot of people are going with 150's now. How do you like them? Do you think you should have gone with 250's?

Thanks every one. The color didnt show up just right with all that blue light but some day ill get it right on my camera LOL. I use 1 1/2 gallons of lime water to top off a day plus i run through 8 lbs of ARM media a month and a half and my 5 lb co2 tank has to be filled once every month and a half. My calcium will only reach 350 my dkh is 12 and my ph runs 8.1 to 8.2 all the time. I have a huge chart of my levels i test for every thing every month but thats a lot to post. I have been adding coral the whole time and i plan on putting 20 more colonys that will give a total of 59 colonys with some having 2 to 3 seprate colonys in the tank of the same kind that im not counting.
ANIME i love anime i have been watching it since i was 13 12 years later i have a huge collection and my wife loves anime to so its all good. The 2 150s were my first metal hilides i have ever owned and at $459.99 each there my last. But i had the T5s first i like the hqis i have but if i didnt get the 20k i would never have kept them. My T5 ho fixture is what makes my tank brite and look good. 150 250 i dont think i would ever buy metal halides again or recomend them get T5s there way better. Oh i guess i never told you guys the tank only has 1 white light bulb and its a 11k T5. Thats one reason i cant get the pics to look less blue.

Thanks every one i cant wait untill its a year old. It has grown a lot in 6 months plus im new to sps i have had softies for 4 years but my first sps i got 6 month ago.
Anime should have to be watched just like the news lol. My tanks is a 120 and its 4 x 2 x 2 i worked for a local fish store for about 6 months and i never got a pay check they took what ever i wanted out of my check. Plus i got everything at cost i think it cost me $800 dollars for the tank and stand and overflows. Plus i got all the best sps before any one could see what the store got in LOL. They didnt have a nice sps colony to sell for 3 months.

very nice setup. I have the same size tank. the only difference is mine has corner overflow. How did you attach that frag to the back glass. I switched from a 75 in September. Here is a pic.

umm i think news should be replaced by anime!!! news only have sad stuff... should put One Piece,Cowboy Bebop, Hajime No ippo, Initial D, Ghost In The Shell, School Rumble, GTO, Baki, and soo much more in place of news ... but then i think if they did that then there would be too many bums in the world lol ( i for one would be one for sure!!!)

I would never leave the house if anime was on all the time.
I stay home every saturday night and watch anime and i even have friends over some times to. The question about the monti caps on the back glass. I have DIY magnet frag plugs holding them on. I plan on putting a ton back there.
