In the words of my daughter "not the best"

Lets just say all the corals left in the tank tolerate being nipped very well so the angel stays

This is an old pic of the sump, still basically the same it just has more macro and coraline algae (and it looks messier now )

I like your tank, but i think what id do if you don't already i would think it would look better bluer 20k MH lighting, seems too bright i think you are using 10k am i right? Looks good though.

It might look not as bright in person due to the camera settings.

Yes your right they are 10ks.

I'm not a fan of blue water, I like my tank to look like a sunny day in fact I have been thinking of changing 1 of the vho actinics to a 10k as well
