Default Re: Pics of 7 month old reef tank

Ok, so we're on month 10! It is amazing to see how much the tank has progressed and changed in such a short time!

About a month ago I started dosing kalk at night thru a slow drip and also dose in very small amounts magnesium, iodine and trace elements every other week. Also, it looked like my bulbs were starting to lose their par as my kenya tree is trying to climb higher in the tank and the frogspawn didn't act as happy so I bought four new bulbs, UVL and replaced 1 actinic and 1 10k daylight from Current with a super actinic and white actinic 12k UVL and BOY what a difference!!! Even with two of the old actinic, the one new one makes the corals pop so much more! And the 12k white actinic adds even more of a shimmer in the tank, very bright! Here are pics I took today with the two new lights in, going to add the other two next week. Comments and suggestions please!!! I am still learning and would love to know what you all think!



cleaner shrimp, my lawnmower blenny loves to get a cleaning from him!


my new favorite fish, orange spot shrimp goby
