    I plan on moving them onto the 150-200 range after a week or so.

    Why not a nano?

    I am still topping off morning and night. I have all the pieces needed to attempt a DIY top-off, I am just waiting on the time to make it.


    I want to get either an elegance coral or clam to act as a center piece. I haven't seen any sps I can't live without yet, but I am sure that day will come.

    Thank you everyone for the kind words and interest in my tank.

    Here are a few updated pics. Things have been busy. Got done with school, got a job, moved across the state. I am so glad that everything survived the trip.

    Thanks a lot. Things have been so busy from the move that I haven't been keeping up with the tank like I should. Now that things are mellowing out a bit, I hope to start messing with it again. I am considering moving over to a few LPS and possibly a small clam in the near future.

    Quick question! How is the LED holding up for you?

    I haven't had a single issue. It was worth every penny. The tank doesn't overheat, I don't need to replace bulbs, the PAR value is high, the corals are doing very well under it. The most noticeable difference are the green star polyps which were slowly retreating before the switch and are now back in full.

    Any updates? I just found this thread now, I can't believe I missed it!

    The tank is looking great!

    How are you liking the nanocustoms bulb? I'm planning on getting a few for my tank.
