UPDATE: The tank is now being driven by 3 400w Radium 20k bulbs. I am getting even better coverage and colors with the extra punch. The tank has been doing great! I think the best decision I have made is switching to Metal Halide lighting. It caused all my SPS to wake up and start encrusting the frag plugs very fast. Also all the coral put out better color when I have blues on at night to enjoy. "Cook in the day, Enjoy at night" I also notice significant growth in coralline algae with the halides.
I have added a lot of new frags and have found a love for collecting Spliced frags. currently have the rainbow splice, fruity splice, college fund, splice nerds, gws og splice and more to come. I also picked up 2 non-photosynthetic sea whips from reef stock and they have been liking my nightly feedings.
I also feel like the bacteria driven reef concept is golden and a great improvement to the overall health of my tank. I pre mix a concoction of things in 500ml of salt water along with bacteria in a stir plate for 8 hours then refrigerate and dose that every night.
Happy Reefing-
