    I think you'd be better off with two of the 24" controllables I don't think you'll get the coverage you're looking for even with the 120 degree optics

    I can't really afford the controllables but I can do the "Value Fixtures". They are dimmable and give a bit more in the way of wattage. 120 x 2 versus 200 x 1. That may be what I do.

    LEDs are pricy but well worth it I suggest pulling the trigger on it

    Small Rose Bubble Tip Anemone
    Any tips on feeding this little guy? The second he was put in the tank he found a rock stuck himself to it and was good to go! Has perfect tiny bubble tips! I hope he grows pretty fast though

    Also yes Tang Police I know the Sailfin tang will out grow the tank, but until then he loves it swims with the currents and has a blast swimming around in the caves in the rock work. He is also small, just a Juvi.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Looking good.

    You have quite a few sps frags now. Not sure which acropora is in the first image too small for me to ID.

    Which LED fixture do you have? Is it possible to dim the blues?

    Nice looking tank & lots of cool corals. The aqua scaping is awesome.
