    I see you have one of those frag racks that all the cool kids have! Thanks for the FTS, it looks good. The clam looks real nice in there!

    I had the same experience. I found some SPS growing better in shade and ended up getting better growth after lowering my intensities.

    I'll lower my % over the next few weeks to find the sweet spot. Other corals are growing up towards the light.

    Thanks for the kind words guys :)

    And that clam told me it was a coral! What a jerk! ;)

    Here's a FTS:

    Thanks :)

    My gf finally enjoys it now that I spend less time with the tank. Kinda feels nice to have something on auto pilot.
