	PC Power Compact Lighting, typically used in lower light aquariums supporting soft corals, LPS, and fish. Their low cost and cooler operating temperatures are an excellent choice for beginner aquariums and smaller tanks.

I think your tank looks very nice. I like the aquascape and coral placement look cool. Only bad thing is that green algae that I see all over. That indicates high phosphates. Although you chose species of coral that can handle such conditions, you would have a better chance at long term success with better water quality.

Thanks Jackson- I was always under the impression that that green stuff is green coraline, as my phos. reads >.2 with salifert and Aquar. Pharm.?? The only way i can get it off is with a scraper, it is very hard. I also have a phos. ban reactor that's changed weekly and use RO/Di water...The water parameters/numbers are perfect...??

Thanks, yup, figured that one out - this posting pixx things sure takes some time...Hey Marrone is that your eel?? If so, awsome!! One of my favorite animals to shoot while scuba diving...

Anything over .1 will cause serious health/algae problems. most of the very clean tanks you'll see with have levels between .03 and .08. Those testkits are kind of useless at low levels for phosphate. Sounds like you're doing the right thing though. Keep it up!

Again, thanks, maybe I'll try a different media, I use seachem phos-guard, what do you think of Rowa-Phos...

Phosban, Rowaphos, or any other grannular ferric oxide works the best. I would just stick with the phosban.
