Looking good bro!

Woah, those are some really good shots! Love the closeup of the chalice, that baby blue is so nice!

Those are some excellent shots E.

Thanks guys, will be doing an update soon. Lots of new growth and corals.

Pulled the tripper on a WWC Bounce Mushroom! It's a tiny baby but growing pretty quickly, can't wait to let it out.

Those are some great additions E.

Awesome additions! With these and in your 56G. I've seen you have used various lighting on your setups, LED, T5, etc... What is your preferred lighting setup, and what brand fixtures do you prefer given your experience?

I'm a pure T5 guy at heart but LED, royal blue in particular has a place. With the new E5 LED T5 based bulbs out I will be getting two of them or a few, I've for a few other lighting projects I'm working on. Radions will probably be going or not depending if I set up another frag tank.

So far I am overly impressed with the Aquactinics Constellation fixture with the LED retro I did. Just more work then needed considering if the E5 bulbs would have came out earlier I would have been set.

Nice!

I like your selections of coral, can't wait to see them in a few months!

All I have to do it make sure it stays stable and I'll be good to go. So far the SPS are doing great and encrusting nicely.

FTS??

Had to post this, didn't even finish with the edit on the set.

SO SICK!

Where did you get the salt water mollies?

 

[BrotherReef]

What happened Eric?

 

[fragit]

Love this build. Do you have any tanks in your living space? Or are they all out in the garage?

Petco and just acclimated them to saltwater.

What happened Eric?

One of the fish I won, Platinum clownfish from a local club raffle had brook and wiped the tank of fish. Killed all my anthias!

I do have one tank, a 56G Reef Savvy (see below in my sig) but I don't take care of it as much. It's full of overgrown SPS and so on.
