    My Big Blue tang decided he didn't like the way my DIY frag rack was looking at him, after it's been in there over a week!

    He bumps it and knocks all the plugs out! Done it twice already today.

    I borrowing the PAR meter my local club has, and tested the PAR on my LEDs today.
    In a nutshell, with the lights 6" off the water, and the level of most of my sps, which is
    8" underwater, it was reading about 400.

    I have some more large porous base rock cleaned and dried, that I'll be adding soon and rescaping soon!

    I added BR and rescaped most of my DT.

    I most.ly added BR to the left, and took a liitle away from the right.
    The right side was getting too crowded, now I can spread out the sps a bit more.
    I raised my lights back up to about 8in. off the water for now after the rescape also.
    I don't think I killed anything, yet anyways. Contemplating the Palys though!

    Here's a pic of about 20 min. after. I like how my water cleared up pretty quick, and I made sure I had a clean filter sock/bag on the overflows return.

    No deaths yet for me luckily. Most of my frags are epoxied down or self attached. But he has knocked over or stolen all that aren't!

    Spent the day cleaning class, skimmer, sock, and moving frags around, but most of the day was spent making a screen top for my tank, ugh one side down one to go.
