Wow your achilles and naso are beautiful, the LFS has an almost black blonde naso, its so cool.

I have been through this post a time or two, but I don't remember, is this a glass or acrylic tank?

Im jealous of the Achillies.. amazing!

The achilles ick disappear last night without any medication Or hypo salinity I will just add prazipro when I get them this weekend.
He and my naso ate so much Caulerpa now I am all out although he loves pellets too i prefer to strengthen his immune system with caulerpa's natural healing properties
I wish I have the Cajones to put them in the same tank with the powder blue but 9/10 reefer told me they will fight and 1 say may work but not guarantee.

That's pretty crazy. How are you determining that your drivers are gone bad?

They send me the wrong potentiometer and the plugs are all wrong from the kit.
It gets really hot too so I will get few fan to cool it down too!

Under 12-14k because 18 k don't look good on camera and don't know how to capture it very good 
Anyway the achilles Immediately had ick as soon as I put it on the acclimation box then quick disappear after releasing to main tank.
It's almost flawless now

How do you keep sandbed so clean? How often for water changes?

 

[bullitr]

Thanks
I rarely do water change but I will TRY to start doing monthly 10% water change to maintain the tank coloration and health.
The sand bed is clean because of very strong flow and few wrasses that go in and out of the thin sand bed .
Also don't have clean up clean except for hitch hiker snails
Hope that helps

do you have a lid or canopy?

 

[bullitr]

Its built in to the wall with cabinet on family room side and large 8 feet door on my family room side
I will try to take picture tomorrow
Although I am having a lot of issues with LEDs driver and apex 
I am very happy with the results that it create on my corals 
All of them are coloring up very nicely 
I will try to shot it in my canon t1i when I have a chance but this is a quick video 
Using my wife iPhone 4s it looks good and her phone but it's too blue when upload to YouTube
