Beautiful tank, I love the variety of SPS you have! What do you use for food, and how often do you feed?

thanks sam, no problem on the bulbs , take your time. btw i put in the t5's and what a differance in the brightness in my tank, the old bulbs seemed alot bluer as they got older and that may be a factor with my algae in the tank (or the fact that i feed heavy) ;D

Very nice pictures and tank! Those colors look great!

What brand T5's are you using? Still 2 x 420 and 2 x 460nm in combination with 20k helio's?

Thanks for showing your pics and your progress over time. I think sometimes we want to rush things with perhaps disastrous results, but your tank is a testament to the continued aquisition of knowledge, skill, and of course patience...

Thanks for sharing. :)

Hey Sergio, what an awesome tank!!! Your colors are amazing!! If it is possible I would love to get in line for one of the sunrise equituberculata! keep up the good work! I take it I should be adding more food to my tank! Currently I am using marc weiss's reef bugs. I am still learning as I go! My parameters are where they should be, except I dont have a mag test kit. Should I be testing mag weekly as well? If so what should it be at? Thanks a lot! And once again beautiful tank!!!!

Looks like a Pink Mili. Not too hard to find, but sergio excels at growing things really well

I believe they call it "cherry bomb" , i was told it supposed to be a milli but might be a prostata (i think thats how its spelled).
