    Finally got two 24w Hamiltons running ATI Blue Plus and Coral Plus bulbs along with my existing BML fixture for a LED/T5 hybrid system.

    This weekend I put this canopy together. I'll fill/sand/paint next weekend if I decide on this build.

    Update Pics! This tank is about 3 months old now. I am having trouble keeping chaeto alive for some reason, which explains the phosphates and small patches of cyano on the sand.

    4 month update. Added some ornamental algae and a BRS mini reactor (GFO/Carbon) last week to help combat nutrients. I had a pretty high ph swing when my ATO pump picked up some kalk sludge from its reservoir, which really hurt my monti's and trumpet. Everything else is doing good.

    Looks great tango! That RBTA has colored up a lot. How do you like the elegance? That's such a nice looking coral.

    Thanks DSC, that bubble tip is more hot pink than red, but that's fine. I got the elegance for a steal on craigslist. This one is doing great under the LED/T5 combo, plus I fed it weekly.

    Good light, pristine water and weekly feedings are all you need for that guy. Well done man.

    5 months in. Apparently, my LED's were way too bright. I killed pretty much all of my monti's. I hope they come back, but it doesn't look good. So now my LED's are at 30%. RBTA split and I added an blue squamosa. Macros are growing, they've been pruned twice now. About to start H2O2 treatment for cyano.

    That clam is really nice. There very hardy and grow quickly compared to the maxima. Your squamosa will look even better as grows. We have had ours for 3 years I believe and it developed blue spots all over. Good score, that clam is on the top of our list.
