    Great pic! I haven't had much luck with Crabs. They always seem to go rogue and kill/eat something :lol:

    Maybe I'll try one of these in the future :)

    Awesome pictures. Wish my cube looked half as good as yours.

    Update:
    I have had my tank on Auto Pilot for a few weeks now and things have been "okay", my ALK, Phosphate & Ca levels have been very stable. I did turn my lights down even more due to color bleaching on some corals.

    I did a well needed water change today along with replacement carbon & phosban media. I also did some tweaking with my water flow % and type of flow using my MP10s & Apex. I now have PE in almost every coral during daylight.

    Hmm that will be a hard one... But I think that ForestFire Monti & Smoke Frag might be my current fav atm.

    Update:

    Tank is doing well, colors seem to be coming out more now that I have my lights dimmed down more. My GARF is starting to deepen in some spots and my Purple People Eater has really been growing well.

    Here's a recent FTS and Purple People Eater.
