    The tank has been progressing along very well. I had to turn down the radions from 80% back to 70% it was just too much light for the LPS. The acros have adjusted to the lower light and still look great

    It does look awesome.

    Did I notice in post #44, some of the pics now have some substrate, and not BB?

    I'm stopping with my 180 I"m soon to by upgrading too.

    Thank you no subtrate, just a white foam board under the tank. Its now turning pink due to the coralline growing on the bottom of the tank

    That explains it.

    I thinking I'm going to continue to use a thin layer of finely crushed coral on my 180, knida like I have now on the 125, maybe even thinner.

    The benefit to the bb is that i can suck out the detritus easily. With 20 fish in the tank that's a lot of poo to get rid of lol

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    These are my favorite Threadfin Cardinals. I like the shoaling behavior.

    Wrasses are growing on me, yeah I know what is my problem?

    And back at you. ;D Pokie.

    Better hope Hunter doesn't see those wrasse names lol. Do your cardinals stick together pretty tight?
