My 50

[NanaReefer]

Thank-you.
The 5th picture is a sunset monti.
My favorite.



Especially since there was a patch of red turf type algae that it grew right up and over it.

I think it's my favorite now too I'm definitely gonna have to get me some!

Haven't done a update on this tank in a long time.
Sold off most of the LPS and went all zoanthids.

Not a lot of change here.
I did switch to a ATI 6x24watt T5 fixture.
I found it hard to believe but a lot of the zoanthids had trouble with the T5 light going from the Radion fixture I had before.
Seems there was some light shock. I didn't do any light acclimation because I figured the Radion leds were stronger that the ATI T5's.
Most of the corals really struggled and I considered going back to a Radion fixture. I even bought a used one and was getting ready to do it when I suddenly realized everything was really turning around.
I'm liking the way things are looking now.

I agree, really awesome colors!
Do you do anything special to feed the pipefish?

1 cube of Hikari Mysis every night.
Plus I buy a couple 16oz containers of tisbe pods from Algae Barn every other month.

Wow! Making me reconsider my lighting choice. Just wish bulb replacement wasn't such an issue for me. I'd probably go back to T5's.
