Looks really good and i ahte to say cause with all you got im sure you know aht your doing.

But to me that tank looks pretty new, Is this a upgrade tank.
And i really think your lacking flow especially for a high sps load.And high fish load.

IMO you are asking for trouble. And sorry i went off thread but with so much time,money,and an obvious love of the hobby i would really love to spare you a really hard crash.

This may help . But with so much stock and coral you need to keep a close eye on water quality as if things go wrong they will go wrong fast. But it seems like you got it covered by the looks of the tank and i feel kinda dumb even suggesting help to you.But if you find any of this helpfull then you maybe rushing it.

You may want to run some carbon and do some large water changes. Those corals don't look too happy.

I agree that something seems off. What are the phosphate/nitrate levels? You may want to test and find out.

Lighting : 400w 14k hamilton in the center 2 250w 14k hamiltons on the sides

Salinity: 1.025
Amm : 0
NO2: 0
NO3: 5
PO4: 0.5
Calcium : 450
Alk: 11dhk
MG: 1300

I do run carbon, phosban reactor, UV sterilizer (36 watt), grow chaeto in the sump & use a large skimmer (ASM G4). 15% water changes are done once a week. Some of the corals may look like they were closed up because the pictures were taken not too long after they were put in the tank but they all are doing fine.

No, the purple tang we've had for a long time & when we upgraded the tank we put the other 3 in.

Thanks!

Blasto merletti, I just got it on Fri when ****************** was having that 55% off sale. How big of a piece did you get for $15?

Do the 5 or 6 clowns you have in there fight? Keep a close eye on them once they mature.

Nice tank.
I think that 900 watts in 125 g tank is overmuch...Be careful in PO4.!

beautiful tank--the placement of corals is great. I don't know where any of the criticism is coming from--its definetly not the norm on Reef Central. Usually suggestions are given when they are asked for.
