DoctaQ's LED sps mixed reef

[DoctaQ]

thanks amph, i had to frag back some purple monti because it was shading my much more expensive pokerstar haha, i might start trading a little soon, but kinda scared because i fought the monti nudis for a while. dipped affected corals once then never saw them again, dipped again just for kicks.
is it normal for montis to bleach out in corners? in picture 7 up there the gap between the two white leading edges has died and i dont see any nudis
other than that growth has sped up a bit, the candlelight was growin pretty good for a week but has slowed down again dunno why. the blue acro in the sand has been by far the best grower for me

Awesome looking tank! Do you like the LED lighting?

 

[DoctaQ]

the leds are certianly working out for me, a few things i would change about this fixture if i were to make it again, i used solid core wires for this which at the time seemed like a good idea, plus it was laying around, but that makes for weak connections that break or pop off sometimes, im just waiting for another one to pop off for me to redo all the wiring

i guess the annoying thing about my cowrie is that it climbs up my hob filter and eats my turf scrubber once in a while, makes it kinda pointless ya know

new new pics

moar shots!

hot off the press, please excuse the purple monti, i punched it when i was fragging the green one.



ric yumas, the orange one is the newest one...im thinking its a florida due to its thickness but the mother i saw was huge, makes me think yuma..

red planet and green slimer starting to encrust after months in my tank..stuff takes a long time to get used to my tank from halides..t5 transition tends to be faster

proelipis nocturna back there, in the corner of my tank, there is 50 dollars and bioload well spent..

nice ridges going on there and the polyps look like glitter
