Honestly I can't remember who I bought it from but I think I went to Carlsbad for it. It came with some rock and a yellow tang I remember.

Hmm, wasn't me then. Anyways, good luck with the SPS. It's looking great.

Thanks Jess. Yeah I was trying to decide on a new led light but decided to just do away with the whole led idea and go old school. Love the growth and look.

I love that mh lighting...14K Hamilton bulbs are the best, right Mando? ;-)

[leonel619]

Yup!^^ but actually I'm running the 14k phoenix. Love it so far.

[Roger]

Lookin good there. Do you run a skimmer? If you don't mind can you post your maintenance routine? TIA

[leonel619]

Thanks
I don't use a skimmer. I had one at one point but was annoying to use so I removed it.
As far as maintenance goes, I do a 5g water change once a week. I use chemi pure and replace it every couple months. Dose 2 part and feed once a day.

Some pics just for fun...
