    coral gardens

    If you are PADI certified you can go down to the Coral Restoration Fund and help do the exact same thing. Granted it is mostly stag corals in Florida and not amazing SPS in Fiji, but still could be pretty fun.

    ATI 80x 8 fixture

    Gotcha, I think you should be fine there. Acclimating SPS is more for LEDs, with starting them on the bottom and moving them up. With the T5s you should be able to place the coral pretty much exactly where you want it and go from there.

    Stocking reef tank

    I am a fellow wrasse head so I understand. As far as the anthias go: Lyretail are good, also check out Carberryi Anthias, and bartletts as well. A lot of people on RC are big fans of the Carberryi as they seem to be hardy and relatively cheap. The blenny should do great in your tank The...

    ATI 80x 8 fixture

    How high do you want to mount it? You should be fine with a resonable hang height. ATI are powerful and thier reflectors are very good.

    LEDs

    One of the biggest complaints of the early led fixtures was that they only had the blue and white LEDs and certain colors lost their pop. I know some people supplemented with t5s just to get that color back. Luckily the led companies listened and started releasing new colors. If you want orange...

    LEDs

    Maybe because I am tired, but I can't figure out your acronyms. Can you elaborate what colors you have and the kelvin or nm? What fish, corals are in your tank and what colors are you looking to get to "pop".

    The 210 tank build

    Nikon D3100 with stock lens. I set it to "motion" mode in the multiple pic mode (hold down the shutter, it snaps off a bunch of quick photos) and just snap away. Again, I took 300 pics to get 14 "good" ones. I have been thinking of getting a macro lens, but I always pic something else...

    The 210 tank build

    Yeah it was about time. I think everyone is in summer mode when our tanks take a back seat to out door activities and we have been the same. I got some rare motivation and snapped off almost 300 pictures and those were my favorites so there they are.

    What could have done this?

    Damsels are nasty nasty fish. I would say one of them, followed by the yellow tang would be the culprits.
