    I had a tank crash a couple of months ago due to a bad batch of salt mix. Killed a couple corals, inverts, and also damaged quite a few others. Some are still slowly recovering.

    Since the crash I did a bit of a rebuild. I did a new aqua scape, made more room for corals. :) I also have been using NSW from Scripps. It's the same water they use, and so far I love it.

    I also changed my lighting from 20k's to 14 k's. I like the 14k's WAY better! Just last night i added a VorTech MP40 for some ridiculous flow.

    Here are some pics of what my 72 mixed reef looks like now. I'll use this thread to update growth and anything else I decide to do with it. The pics are with my low lights on, and are also from my iPhone, I'll add better ones with my camera later when the 14k's come on.

    Thank's everyone! Here are pics with the highlight's on. You'll be able to see some of the corals I'm still trying to bring back.
