    Hi, figured it was time I posted a tank thread here. It's been setup for almost a year now. I use ESV salt and have had great results. Nitrates are usually at about 10 but my SPS aren't complaining. Granted, they aren't growing as fast as everyone else's but I'm not worried about it. Not much room in my tank anyway... Had the Hippo in the earlier pics for a few weeks before my planned upgrade was canceled. Had to transfer him unfortunately. Hope you guys enjoy the pics.

    My attempt at a diy led to bring more saturation to the corals.

    Very beautiful tank! How many gallons is the mini? How are you liking the LED light from Elos?
