fishboy - it's a standard 40 breeder.

 

Joao/Calvin - the Angel does nip occasionally but not enough to harm the corals. I just keep an eye on it and dump some food in there if I think it's nipping more than usual.

Sorry, I meant the SEIO.

OH - lol

 

Yea I like the seio - I like the fact that it's a big stream of water instead of a small powerful stream like the MaxiJet 1200 on the other side.

 

I'm debating on getting another one (820 maybe) and putting on the opposite side to they can battle and get some good turbulent flow.

Brisk - got new pics on the way next post. The bulb is a 14k CoralVue. It's got about 8 months on it and I'm kicking switching to 20k but haven't made up my mind yet.

OK, here's a new batch of pics... I've added quite a bit of SPS to the tank (the reason for building the CA Reactor)

Thanks guys - I've got some SPS macros I need to resize and post.

 

Sebea: I'll take a pic of the rainbow and post it. It's sprouted a few new heads and was growing like crazy but had to dial back the feedings b/c of nutrients.

 

Zapatista: Thanks man. I could spend all day taking pictures of those corals.

 

Travis: WOOHOO! I made it onto somebody's desktop. If you want the full size pic let me know.
