    The tank's been running for 2 yrs FOWLR, I started adding lighting and more LR, ect to turn it into a reef about 2 months ago.

    Ok I'm done with the canopy I built for my tank just added some vents to the top today to let some of the heat from the lights out. I'm happy with the way it looks now. What do everyone think?

    What would be the best way to care for the corals above. The LFS said if parms were ok that was all that needed to be done and they would care for them selves. Is this right or will I have to do anything else to aid them in there growth? TIA

    I'm a huge fan of going slow, when you rush into things you tend to miss things that you would'nt with a slower more organized approach.

    Traded out the old smaller sump for a bigger reefmaster200 fuge, which has way more room to put more pumps,ect in the sump part.
