    six line wouldn't eat and eventually it croaked.... So yesterday I finally found a Royal Gramma at a lfs about 45 minutes away and by this afternoon it was out and eating... I also added about 4 sps frags and 1 frag of a pretty cool looking 2 headed polyp.. Will get some pics up soon...

    Tank looks massive baugherb
    had to open both images side by side to appreciate the lighting difference
    it looks so much fuller in terms of colour under the MH

    how have the pico inhabitants adopted to the upgrade, they all look well but are there any specific pieces that in your opinion are already showing appreciation?

    Blue clove polyps were completely gone in my pico, but in my 12 they have all sprouted up again and are doing great... Same with my zoa's and ppd's.. They are also growing like crazy.. My key to success is keeping a tank toped off.. Some people don't seem to realize how important it is.. My shrooms are doing well also.. Actually mostly everything is doing well but the blue clove polyps are doing the best...

    Its working for you baugherb
    did you move your medical drip auto top off onto this system then and just increase the drip setting?

    yep, thats exactly what I did... Marked my sump with tape once I got the salinity right and keep the water level there...

    Way to truly maximize what can be done with a kit nano. Can't wait to see the transformation as you add more SPS.
