Very nice! Those corals look gooood. I like the changed lighting a lot too. What are you running in that latest picture?

2x 400W Iwasaki 2x 400W XM 20kK (1 of each in each pendant, two pendants over the tank).

And yes, its much better now. Not having the heavy macro algae helped alot too! What finally cured it was adding a bluespot rabbitfish (visible in some of the pics). That guy ate it all in under a week's time.

That, plus a couple years of fairly steady growth, and a calcium reactor are what brought it up to where it is now.

Thanks!

I was wondering what that fish was. Couldn't make it out in the last pic.

Here's a closer-up pic of the 'fugly trout' (aka bluespot rabbitfish)
