The 210 tank build

I will try and get some more shots of the barnacle bennies. We have around 9 right now and love them.

We we had to pull the fish because of a little disease outbreak so when we did we pulled the rocks out and took advantage to reaquascape. His is probably our favorite so far and the fish are enthused as there is a ton of hiding spots and caves.

Awesome great to hear. We also still have your war coral colony but it is down in the frag tank at this time.

Stopped by Trop today and picked this up (there were two left when I picked it up and yes at sale price):

The cutters are beasts, I put a regular pair next to them just so you can see the difference in the two.
If anyone has egg crate and would like some of the frag plugs, let me know. I do not have egg crate at all so they are kind of useless to me.

Nice! How's the quality on the tools in the frag kit? I've been debating grabbing one (mostly because I like the box) but wasn't sure the quality of the tools.

I have not used them yet, but they certainly pass the look test. For 100$ I wasn't sure about it, but for 50$ I think there is value there. The glue alone is 20$ for the tube.
 
Mike or Nikki it's been about month with the switch in lights how's it's going?
Do you feel like it's improved growth with LPS or SPS

Easy answer, 100% without a doubt yes. Our Sps have better color and growth and our LPS looks a lot happier. There was an adjustment time, but we seem to have everything dialed in pretty well now. I liked my last lights a lot, but IMO I just like T5s. Happy to have the best of both worlds.

Our camera cannot focus on the black tang so this is as good as it gets:

The next set of pictures gets a little hot and heavy so hide your kids eyes and prepare to clutch your pearls and/or monocle
