Im shocked. The pictures really do justice for your tank. It is so full of colorful and interesting colonies that it would have taken me hours of staring to fully absorb what you rally do have in there. Looks great.
I went back through the thread and saw the pic of the mag on the CL. Do you still have that up in the tank room. I couldnt hear it when I was over.

Yeah Mike, somehow I keep getting stuff. Now that the farm/sump is online under the house I will start moving coral down there - as I see what starts to take off and fill out.
Duane,
I don't have a mag on the small OM closed loop anymore, I have the large Poseidon Titanium throttled back a bit to accommodate the OM. I went that way because its really quiet.
I think the pic looks good because I used a SLR camera instead of my 'high end' point and shoot. I guess I want to buy a new camera!
Lighting -- 2 400 watt 20 K xm bulbs and 2 48 inch VHO super actinics.
That frankencap goes up and down. Montis tended to fade out for a long time in my system. I think it was due to long term low magnesium. Mag is now up.
Currently the franken cap is being taken over by some Idaho Grape.

Its mean and eats lots of pods. I got it because I was having a problem with monti eating nudis, but who knows if it actually helped. In trying to catch it, I have caught just about every other fish in the tank! If I find time, I might make a little Hawaiian sling and nab it, but I think I might just live with it.
