I'm surprised the Maroon and Perc haven't killed each other yet lol. Also, my Green Mandarin tends to hide for days on end. Just when I assume it bit the bucket, does it come trudging out from behind the rock work. They are pretty shy lol

The 2 clowns don't pay much attention to each other. I have had the Perc since 09' & the GSMC I got about a year ago. It's stripes are just starting to turn yellow. He only leave his nem to eat. I'm sure when he is full grown he will be a beast!
 
I like the scape man! Nice use of dead space on the back wall for the frag racks btw...

Thanks for the kind words! The only problem I have would with the scape is when The RBTA splits. I only have 5 large rocks so it is a huge pain to pull one of the rocks out to get it off. Since it split not too long ago I am going to have to pull the biggest of the rocks out. I'm not looking forward to it. As soon as I find somebody that is looking for one I will do it.
 
Matt sounds like that RBTA keeps splitting.

Yup. The original one I got rid of because when it split it walked to s crisply spot in the back of the tank and the clone went to perfect spot where it still sits today. I noticed it split again a week or so ago soi want to get that one out before it gets too big or takes a walk. But I don't want to pull it before I have somebody to take it off my hands.

Yeah i know that feeling. My first nem was a GBTA, which split every couple of months and they just about over ran my tank. I was able to give them to a friend who was just setting up a tank, thank god!

If I don't find anybody to buy this one I am just going to bring it to the next club meeting and donate it to the raffle.

This is a quick cell shot wi just the UV on. It looks way cooler in person. I set them to 45% to start. I kept my Gen 1's at 70%.

Very nice coral pickups? How are the radions working out?

It's hard to say how the Radions are... Lately some of my corals lo almost colorless. its not all of them just some. I turned the led intensity down about a week ago. I kept the gen 1's at 70% when I put te pros on the tank I had them set to 45%. I turned them down about a week ago to 30%. I'm still trying to figure out what is causing my problems. My Red Planet is super pale but my Strawberry Short Cake looks better than I have ever seen it. my bonsai looks crappy but other corals of he same color look great. there is a variable I am missing and it is really starting to get to me!

that being said about the same time I upgraded the lights I also started a biopllet reactor. my problem is I tend to "scratch stuff that don't itch". my tank was looking awesome before I put the pellets online and with the gen 1 radions.

so I upgraded the lights and added the pellets to kind of like Miracle Grow the tank. I will test the params tomorrow and put them up.

thanks for the asking!
