    Also as you can see with such a small tank; I mounted stuff to magnets and put them on the back and side glass. I used old powerhead magnets and puttied them to larger pieces of rubble I had left over from my 125g.

    I don't know if the orange fungia is new or not, but just an FYI, mine did not like "high" lighting. I had mine on the sandbed of my JBJ 28 nano with 105W PC lighting, and it was starting to bleach out. Moved it to my 55 on the sandbed under 60W LEDs (obviously not nearly as much light) and it is doing much better! Colored back up and has grown quite a bit!

    Tank is looking awesome though :)

    Yeah the orange fungia is new but was under LED's at same depth. I help at a LFS here in Virginia so i watch stuff over time and acclimate stuff I am going to keep at the depth I am going to keep them.

    Thanks, I really enjoy them. In about a year or so I will be building out a 240g tank. This current tanks is going to be NPS, Zoa's and Acans. Just going to slowly buy the lights over the next year. I am going to go with either the Vertex LED's or Radions.

    Sounds good Ben. I really like the look you created with those mounted corals on the glass. Looks really cool.

    jealous this tank looks like this at such a young age, but then again, jealous of your knowledge and resources at hand;)
