    That tank looks great Los1980. Water looks really clear.. That light is nice and lights the tank up very well. I have the same light on my 35 gal although mine isnt the reef ready. Just white led's with 4 blue moonlights and I like it, no heat and easy to clean, very slim profile with built in legs... The live rock looks very purple, is it coralline or just the angle with the actinic led's??

    O nice! Gotta love the frog spawn. I am looking for a huge leather too for my clown to host, I don't want any nems. Do you have updated photos? Would love to see the tank and how it's grown.

    I love the lights hardly any heat! I wish it was coraline but the rock was purple from the begining! thats how i got it from my LFS. The water looks like glass at times its only 3 1/2 months old so my diatoms and typical outbreaks are finally going away. thanks for the love! cant wait to get a better stand so i can fit all the equipment underneath.

    Tank looks great!!!! Love the lighting how are your coral doing under the led set up, is it enough for your coral. Would you say it's better then a 4x54 t5 set up?

    this is my first SW tank and I never had the opportunity to use t5's. So far there is growth. The 2 out of 3 LFS told me sps would do fine as long as i keep them high. my acan had half its head burned off by the lobo. in a month it was all grown back...just waiting for the colors to come back but I can't complain! doesnt waste as much electricity, no heat, and it looks great! I would recommend them but then again i've never experienced anything else.

    My only regret is that I used crushed coral vs a sand bed. the jack off at the LFS must have..well maybe it was myfault i wanted a fish only tank at first then fell inlove with corals. I've been hesitant to gradually remove the coral and get sand.
