I am still super-impressed witht the SWC LED light. Corals are growing like crazy and I now have the colour dialed in with the white's at 100% and the blues about 90%. No problems with the unit at all.

As my tank approaches the one year mark in a couple of days, I thought I would update everyone on some of the goings on. I have removed all traces of the pulsing xenia from my display tank. It has been regulated to the sump. I just found it took up too much real estate and was growing so fast that I couldn't keep up with it. I put a new piece of Marco Rock in its place and have a couple of new SPS frags from Reliable Reef attached to it. I think it will look great once it colors up with some coraline algae.

Thanks everyone. It is nice to be able to sit back and watch the corals grow.

The green and yellow birdsnest and the prostrata all had a massive RTN over the last couple of weeks. After I had added the last couple of corals, my alkalinity and calcium dropped way off and I had some trouble dialing it in again. I think this is probably what caused the RTN. I had to do a massive pruning of dead areas and they are just starting to look better again. Hopefully they will recover from this and start to grow again. None of the other corals seemed affected.
This is my favorite coral in the tank. I love the colour of it.
Just picked up this Superman digi. It was a little browned out but is starting to colour up.

I finally got around to setting the white balance on my camera. Very little post processing on these images.

The tank did. It got another 20 gal tank plumbed in to the sump to be used as a frag tank. Pictures to follow!

Plumbed a new 20 gal tank into the system to be used as a frag tank. Drilled it and put it on top of the sump using my old T5 lights. Total system water volume is around 65 gallons now.
Everything seems very stable in the tank again and corals are showing some good growth.
pH: 8.25-8.33
Cal: 460-490 ppm
Alk: 9 DKH
Phos: 0.04 ppm
Nitr: 0.00 ppm
Mag: 1300 ppm
Sal: 35 ppt
