Eventually I think I'll put timers in there and pull out the switches, but it works for now. The blues come on when I get up and the whites come on when I goto work, then reverse when I get home from work.

Also, I'm so happy I started with a "starter" tank setup. I've learned so much from this so far, like not putting LR too close to the glass because my mag cleaner can't clean those spots :(

Whoa it's really been since April the last time I posted.

So I haven't made any changes or new additions, outside of my lights. The lights have been switched to Current LED with a timer ramp up ramp down and a bunch of modes I'll likely not use. The corals and fish seem to be doing great [emoji106].

I did modify the stand and like how it is a lot better. I trimmed down the sides and removed the door.

I just started, today actually, with feeding reef roids and can't wait to see how it goes. There has been a lot of growth with my GSP, getting ready to frag some of it, as well as my zoas.
