What she said! (Of course VHO's are my ONLY lights!) ;D

Thanks Joe, I do enjoy my tanks and I do get to spend some time with them all by myself! ;)

I guess you don't want me to mention that I don't own a single fan or a chiller and my tanks run between 77 and 80 degrees! ;D

Good question Phil! They are just the bulbs using their own internal reflectors.

Yes they are and sorry to say they weren't fully open the day Mike took the pictures. The purple tang was on a mission to find some pellet food in the frogspawn and they weren't happy about it! ::)

There has been some moving around and additions, but enough corals are in the same spot for comparison. FTS 12/2006 FTS 10/2007 Milli Frag 12/2006 Milli Colony 10/2007 The tank is lit by 550w VHO only. 330w 50/50's and 220w Super Actinic.

All courtesy of NapoliNewJersey! Thanks again Mike. :)

A full tank shot to put things in perspective. A blasto for Phyl! (to look at) ;D I owe John a piece of this. He won it in a raffle and donated it back, since he had already won a few other corals!

Thanks Brian! Here are two corals I got from you. Plate Candy Cane

My Purple Tang goes through phases and the veggie clip helps. Keep feeding them and it should stop. ;)

Some more!

Some new pictures courtesey of Mike S (NapoliNewJersey) Thanks Mike! Purple Tang and Red Cyanaria, perfect together! Bubble Coral Red Cyanaria Hammer

So what kind of corals are you planning on keeping? The flow plans will work for everything except a tank dominated by hammers, torches and frogspawns. These guys like a more gentle flow.

Only bad things happen quickly in Reefing. ::)

Sorry to hear about your struggles Rich! Are you keeping an eye on the iodine levels since you are dosing that frequently? I went on weekly lugol's binge a while back due to having too much time to surf RC. It was amazing how fast I could get out of control without testing. ::)

Not to mention his bulging muscles and centurion look! ;D

Thanks everyone! I have a CD packed with pics that Napolinewjersey took of my tanks that I want to share. I might even have time tonight! :o

Phyl suggested a free download to me at the anniversary sale, and of course I've forgotten the name. I would imagine other photo noobs would appreciate some suggestions regarding free or reasonably priced software to get out POTM entries out of the camera and posted on this site, or in the FTS...

I have a Remora as well. I would go with that if you want hang-on-back. The Coralife and Octopus in sump are beeter performers than the Remora HOB. I have no experiece with the Urchin.

I had a 125 on my 75 and liked it. I recently bought an Octopus 150 NW which seems to work a better, it's still breaking in. The Octopus is sump only. Both are a challenge to dial in without a gate valve mod. The Octopus seems to tolerate variations in sump water level better.
