Wish I had some of those Xenia's. While drifted around in the tank not to be seen again. Check out my vids. I'd like to see an update of this system today...

How do your sps corals do under this light and what kind of flow do you have? From what I see it looks like 2x 1200gph powerheads with the return pump ?gph. Did you buy those sps large of were they small frags? I have a 125g with 2xhydor koralia 4s and a 900gph return. Would this be enough flow? and I have the Identical lighting setup? Much thanks

No way!...it'll take you years to weed out those xenias. hehehe Better left alone.
how many times do u feed your tang fish with seaweed? how did u get so many xenia corals?

Usually one full sheet of seaweed per day (folded up like a paper football) seems to be enough for the 4 tangs in this tank. Some days, if they gobble it up too quickly, I'll put in a second sheet.
The xenia started from two small rocks and just spread on its own. It can be a real love/hate thing sometimes... like weeding the garden, but it adds so much movement to the tank and friends seem to love it, so I put up with it.

Amazing tank. The growth is incredible. R u telling me you only have 480W VHO lighting this tank(2x daylight + 1 super actinic). I actually purchased the same light setup today and I'm very excited to see the growth/colors/etc. I was thinking about putting another 160W, but this would entail buying another ballast (430 icecap) plus super actinic bulb. I really don't want to spend that much more so could you please tell me your experience/results/advise on this 3bulb setup?? Thank you so much!!

Sorry for the delay. I didn't get a notice of your comment. To answer your question, Yes, there are only three 72" 160w VHO bulbs. The exact bulbs are UV brand, two Actinic White (50/50) bulbs and one Super Actinic. Excellent growth for soft corals and LPS, although if you plan on keeping SPS I would advise MH or a T5 setup with good reflectors. Also a lot of wildly colored Zoanthids require more intense lighting to keep those colors. Happy reefing!

Looks sweet how long have you had the tank up in running?

This particular tank has been going for several years.
It has been broken down, moved, and set back up 3 times since I've owned it.
It's been a little over 2 years since the last time it was moved.
