    Well, a little over a year. Set it up last March. Has come a long way with a few upgrades as we could afford them.

    It's a 90 gallon tank.
    Lighting is 2 Radion XR30w's.
    Power heads are 2 Ecotech MP40's.
    Also have a Bubble Magus doser for the daily chemicals.
    Currently have 10 fish, and about 47 corals, either a single piece or a group.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Looks fantastic.

    How long have you had the Wire Coral and how do you feed it?

    Look's a lot like a Red Planet in the last image, nice little colony.

    What are you calling the wire coral?


    Thanks!

    Never mind, looked up the wire coral. They called it a spiral coral when we bought it.

    We've had it for about 3-4 months now. It has grown about 2-3 inches since we purchased it. I put 2 capfuls of photo plankton and zoo plankton 2-3 times a week. Can't remember which one they said it eats, but the different corals I have each require one of the two. Everything is growing like wildfire.
