    Very, VERY awesome looking tank!!! I can safely say that I'm jealous.

    I'm just starting to learn about SPS and added 4 of them a month ago. Just found out recently that as I was trying to lower my alk at first to something closer to ocean water at the same time was killing them. I'm now at 7.6 alk, what do you keep yours at?

    Congrats on a very healthy, breathtaking tank!

    EDIT: What kind of T5 do you have?

    Just read the entire thread.

    It really is an amazing tank, you pull off the mixture of large LPS and the acropora very well.

    Sorry to hear about the decline with the bio-pellets. Sound like your normal routine works very well for you over all and it shows.

    Good luck at the swap, must be nice to have that opportunity with everything else so far away. Hope you get some nice stuff.

    Obviously the excuse for posting the pictures was a guise for creating jealousy throughout the forum!!! For shame!!! I shall curse you from here to eternity for so boldly exposing my own lack of skill. I shall now take leave to wallow in my own sorrow......
