Thanks for the info Navdeep & Spoon. I am no where near 100% yet. I am hoping to get the Kessil controller so I can very the intensity and color throughout the day.

Tr1gger I think you are right it looks fine this morning. I am like a new parent the littlest thing will freak me out. I will try and be more like I am with my kids now, only worry when they are deathly ill. Thanks for the response. The head on the far right was just the skeleton when I got...

So it looked fine last night but came home tonight and it looks like this. What would cause this and can it be remedied? It has been in the tank about 3 weeks.

I have a A360WE and was wondering what are the optimal intensity and color for coral growth? My tank is still very new and my corals have only been in there a couple of weeks. I don't have a controller just a timer set for about 7.5 hour light period. Current stock: Acans Torch Hammer...

Welcome

Great scape, is that arch a single piece? I have a Kessil A360WE and it covers my 26" wide tank no problem. The light sits about 8" above the water and there is some shading on the outside of my rocks but the shimmer lightens them up so they aren't deep shadows.

tr1gger thanks. It was way easier the second time, the picture actually doesn't do justice to how ugly the first attempt was. The Weld-on really melts the acrylic and I was not careful at all. There are fingerprints all over it and it was sitting on a paper towel that left a huge mark down...

On Saturday I finally made my wife happy and got a couple of clowns. I really wanted the Black Ice from Aquatic Collection but I think Mouse got the last of the lively one cuz there were only 2 left by the time I got there and both were rather shy. I believe it was Carson that offered me the...

After having the tank up and running for about a month I decide to try my hand at some DIY media baskets. Really wanted to buy them from InTank but Stevie T hasn't finished designing them. I asked help from a plastic fabricator I know through work and he set me up with some of his scrap...

About 4 weeks ago I got my first livestock, a Yasha Haze goby and Randall's pistol shrimp. They hid for a while so I wasn't sure if they had paired up or not but then I started seeing several tunnels appear and the bromance is official (no idea why I think of them as being male). Slowly they...

So once I was happy with the scape I got the tank up and wet and continued to add ammonia since I had no livestock to add yet. It sat like this for about 2 more weeks. My equipment: JBJ RL 45 Spectrapure UPLC II ATO w/ 5 gallon water jug Hydor Koralia 425 Kessil A360WE W/ gooseneck and 90°...

Thanks tr1gger Thanks for the advice I was debating if I should add some more, I used a the whole box. There are a couple of spots I think I will add to now that I know it may become unstable over time.

So I was hesitant to start a tank thread thinking that since this is my first saltwater experience whatever I posted would in no way compare to the insane tanks folks have. Well after some thought I figured "why not?" It will be a good way to document my progress with the tank and get some...

Welcome, I wish I had that amazing color then my wife would enjoy it more. Patience, patience, patience. . . she just doesn't have it.

I was at AC on Monday and almost pulled the trigger on 2 of those Black Ice but went for the coral instead. that acan is awesome I might have to make a trip down that way just have to get the okay from my doctor, ehh wife. Those are great looking fish and congrats on the road to recovery.

thanks y'all

Welcome and good luck.

Thank you everyone. Spoon I am running a Kessil A360WE and a UPLC-II ATO other than that nothing but carbon filter floss and live rock. Felicia I will consider the tank thread.

Thank you all. Funguy, my kids are 2 years older now but yes I am definitely looking to K.I.S.S. I did have a 100 gal that the RL 45 replaced so 5 gallon water changes are a breeze.

Thank you Hondo
