Lightning: 8x80w ATI sunpower and 2x 60" XHO reefbrite actinic blue led straps<br />
Dosing: Triton method with pacific Kore 5th doser<br />
Sump: standard eshopps sump and a remote refugium.<br />
Skimmer: Aquamaxx cone s3<br />
Flow: Alot. 2x Jebao RW-20, Maxspect Gyre 150, Jebao DC 12000 return pump<br />

Sorry for my poor pictures. All I have is my cell phone camera. Maybe one day I'll upgrade to a real camera.

This grow out is going to look nice. It would be interesting to see how its going to look with some nice large colonies.

Nothing wrong with those pics. Very nice setup Joey.

I cant wait. They all mostly started from frags. They are fun to watch grow and take shape.

Thank you. Definitely not a well thought out build. It's been pieced together. It use to have a canopy on it but took it off to hang the ATI.

lol. Not hating, just noticing. Glad it's helping. I've seen some horror stories with BA. I can't hate. I have a HA forest in my tank that I'm trying to get ahead of.

Tank looks great and you def have some really happy corals.

Both my magnificent fox face and orange spot rabbitfish eat it now so it won't be long before it's pretty much gone.
