    Do you think your single KZ Fiji Pink gives your tank it's pastel look? If so I'm thinking of getting one.

    yeah, I really like the fiji purple, it makes the colors pop more. I also recently swapped out one of the ATI Blue+ with a UVL Super Actinic. This is my current configuration from front-to-back

    So how long have you had this tank? Did you start out with frags?

    I've had the tank for 1yr 7 months and yes almost all of the corals started out as frags. The exception being the Toadstool which was about 4" tall and had a ~4" cap (I've fragged the top many times over the last year, a few weeks ago I cut the stalk in 1/2 for the first time because it was growing out of the water). The large frogspawns I started out with 4-5 heads each (now they are both about 30 heads each), the rest 1-2" size frags.

    Nice and I'm sure they're going to look even nicer as they continue to grow larger.

    Thanks, it was actually more colorful and bigger a month or so ago. It was on the right side of my tank and rowing out of the water so I cut the stalk half way, it did not open up for over a week, thought it was going to die but it came back. Tenticles are not extending as long as before but it's getting there.

    Picked up a new macro lens, playing around with it a bit. I definitely need to clean my tank glass and get a tripod, most of the pics are blurred.
