MD’s 45 Gallon Frag Tank

Frag tank is FULL. Need to start moving things over to my display but I’m always scared transferring coral lol. Last time I just YOLOd it and moved everything over. I need to get some supplemental light bars to help light around the edges since I keep coral there. I’ve noticed the torches around the edges have colored down some. I can’t increase the PAR in the edges without the center being really high. Maybe if I raised my light fixtures more… Also I hate how the LEDs show up on the surface so I’m getting new lights for this tank anyways
wow! its like a forest of soft corals
 
Finally got the aluminum light mount setup with the 3D printed brackets from FishofHex. Travis the guy who runs it makes some good content on YouTube and has some pretty extensive reviews on the Nicrew lights and one of the reasons I went with them so felt good to support. I did mess up and get the 3D printed mounts for the Nicrew 200Ws made for 2020 aluminum extrusion so I’ll have to order those again :( Gotta get a small level. I feel like they’re slightly off. Hanging wires are adjustable so should be an easy fix

Haven’t posted an updated pic in a while. Picked up a few coral along the way lol. Torches a little crowded but hoping to move things to the display soon. I picked up a couple “NY Knicks” colonies yesterday that I think are Gold torches since I’m not seeing a green mouth. Dude gave me a steal though so I’m not upset at all. They’re nice torches :) I fragged them up and ended up with a dozen frags, most multiple heads, and had to make them fit. Gotta make room for 1 more torch im getting from @Invictus tomorrow lol
