Just wanted to share a few pics of the progress of my 210. Was set up in late April, and the corals are doing very well. Some of these were transplants from my 55 that really took off in the bigger tank, mainly the bubble coral that is now over a foot across, with some bubbles over an inch wide. The dinoflagellate problem has been GREATLY reduced since measures were taken this weekend, and in three days of running a shorter photoperiod, they have yet to regain any serious foothold. Wish the pics were sharper, but my camera doesn't take good tank pics. A new digital camera is NEXT on the list!
As far as lighting, I am running 4 URI VHO's, (2 blue actinics, and 2 whites, 640W total) and 3 250W 6500K MH. As far as adding fish, I had an infection that decimated what was in there (got a flame angel, powder blue, imperator (small juvi) and one gold stripe maroon clown. The tank still has two, 4-wheel drive gobies (that I am still waiting to reappear after adding them a week ago! They must come out, because I see traces of their handiwork on the sand bed!) A Coral Beauty that survived the plague, a Pacific cleaner than came in from my 55, and a green mandarin that I got as inch long fish, and is now 2 inches. I took the surviving clown to the LFS in an attempt to find him a new 'girlfriend', but no such luck. I am going to find a new mated pair in about three weeks after things settle down in the tanks after the precautionary measures I have taken, and go from there.
