I started seeing some hair algea, and I'd lost a couple small frags because they got blown off the rock and buried when the dumb clown did his thing.
So I decided to pull the rock and scrub it down again and look for the frags, So I pulled all the frags out and stuck them in the sump underneath a 6500k pc light low output. However when I stuck them under that light instead of the normal lights, a few of the zoas that had not opened yet opened. So Can I use this for a frag tank light, is it enough. You're probably talking 4 inches of water between the frags and the water level?

One more question, I don't have room to have the intake for the pump straight. So I put a threaded corner on the intake of the pump. Is there a way to pump it to reduce cavitation, because ever 10 seconds the pump shoots big bubbles into the DT?

I found a rather unique tomato that is really dark like the one I have now. And significantly smaller, check him out.


If and when I have a couple hundred laying around, I'll get those onyx but until then these will do.

I went to pick up some frags from a local reefer who is tearing down his tank to go offshore. And well he hooked me up!

I was looking at my xenia and it looks like the coral beauty or the flame angel seems to have taken a liking to the fingers...
There are a few pieces that I plan to frag out, mainly the candy cane, but I'm at this point going to let the stuff grow out, and try to grow the zoas on the overflow and stuff. But I'm not getting any more frags. I'd like to get a could of bangaii maybe some sort blenny. But I think I'm closed to finished...
