Very COOL, love the dimensions and plans of the DT and will definitely be following this thread.

Cheers, Todd

Welcome back, Todd. It was great seeing you at the frag swap. We missed you, at least I did.

+1 on the twilight dragon.. does it die off if you look at it funny.. or has it been pretty hardy? looks like one of those i'll only ever 'dream about'...

its actually been pretty hardy. Decent grower, but it doesnt take well to fragging unless the frags are over 1" in size then seems to do fine. Great to have a low light SPS

Beautiful tank. Very inspirational. Have you been happy with your LED lighting? I am switching to LEDs soon. Do you acclimate the SPS differently when they come from MH lighting?

I have a 60 gallon frag tank with a 4 bulb t-5 fixture all corals go into that for a month as quarantine. Then i place them into the main reef. I dont adjust my led brightness when putting in the new corals. I do start them out on the bottom of the tank for two weeks and then move them to their permanent location.

Been watching this one for some time, finally have a moment to congratulate you on your build and posting it here at RF. Must say it is beautiful I bet you enjoy every moment with it.

Thank you all for the great compliments! The tank has settled in nicely and is busy turning into a reef. Not much new has happened just letting the corals grow!
