Looks great Gina. How do you keep the sand so white and what kind of lighting are you running??

hey nanoreefbro, i don't do much to keep the sand white, my pistol takes care of that for me, but i do blow my rocks off right before i do my water changes.... sorry it took so long to get back... oh and i use to 2 aquamedic 14k pheonix 150w hqi and 1 96w actinic.

i have scraped the glass and man my corals have taken off since then, so i will have to post some new pics....

I love it. Looks really nice.

FYI, keep an eye on the Xenia and GSP. They will grow QUICKLY with the lighting you have. They will sting/kill many of the other much nicer corals you have too. I've had both in my tanks before. After loosing a couple of my favorite corals I had to take out whole rocks to get rid of them. GSP is really hard to remove...

actually the one thing that hasn't taken off is the gsp, probably becuase i have tons of hydroids on that rock stinging them. the xenia, i put rubble around them and created a rocks so when they do get out of hand i can break the rocks apart and frag them

Gina, dont worry. It'll be worth the wait. Especially when your done with school and making the big bucks! School will be done before you know it. Thanks for helping me get started with your old setup. Hit me up if you need help with anything (school or a job). Rhea says hi!
