    SPS are coming soon for me. Want to get the new tank stablized first. Installed the new skimmer I bought from Powerman tonight. Putting the new Eshopps float valve in my ATO as soon as it arrives. Should be done dorking with the tank soon. Then some stability.... then acros...and a calm...

    Ive seem to have outstanding luck with soft things lol Im pretty sure the tree will be fine, Plan on feeding it once to twice a day, gonna make a soda bottle feeder to cover it so not a whole lot gets out into the tank.

    As for the SPS I have had bad luck with them but feel like trying again... in the 120 never due to RTN or STN always seemd to be the lights but with the new bulb upgrade... well see!

    The tree coral is a non-photosynthetic coral, which requires a lot of feeding. I don't know if you already have these types of corals, but they are difficult to keep. GL!
