Wow, you have some pretty large corals in there. Love the Xenia (that is a Xenia, right?) and GSP! Looks great so far!!!!

Thanks for the reply...
To answer some questions..
The red sea is nice, the protein skimmer really helps, the lights I left standard, it has a really bright lighting system. I did have some issues getting one of the lights to work and then relized that I had it in backwards.
The big no no is I have only had the tank for 3 weeks!
but the coral is doing great! I will wait a few months to add fish, but I'm still very new at this and every day is something new.
These are the following corals In the tank.
Xenia, this was the first peice I put in
A buddy Fraged me some Zoos
Red Ricordea Mushroom, my baby!
Fluorescent Green Star Polyps
Green Clove Polyps
Red Coco Worm

Did I see alvapora/goniopora in one of those pics? If so, I wuold suggest taking it back before it bleaches on you. I know the standard lighting is pretty bright, but those need MH> Everything looks great, adn I am soooo jealous you have the RED SEA. I want it so bad, but It wount fit in my little apartment. Congrats.

Yeah I think I will take back the flow pot per your suggestion. The Red Sea is not running MH lights, although I did think about moding it at some point, they may come out with a replacment lid like Nano did on their new 29gal, with a 15ow MH light, its pretty sweet but I like the red sea for the wire managment.
