    And this is what it is looking like as of today. Gonna need more rock though. All parameters are perfect. Phospates were a little high, but got a phosphate reactor and that took care of that.

    Yes it is! It only comes out for about 5 hours a day. Can't figure out why yet. All parameters are perfect. My leather toadstool has doubled in size over a month period. I do see my clowns picking at it once in a while. Maybe they are trying to host it?

    My Blenny is a fatty! He eats great. The algae grows every day and is scarce in the morning. Between him and the hermits/other cracbs, tangs, they keep it clean. I hang an algae sheet and a piece of broccoli just in case.

    Thanks! I need to get 50-70 lbs of more LR though to add to the 110 lbs already in there, but waiting for the cash to replenish a little first. I spent more of the budget on the right and better equipment in the build.
    I have a 30 gal sittin around I can use to fully cure it before it goes in the DT.

    Maybe if the stimulus check Obama is promising comes, well then ::).....
