Got to clean the tank again first, should have that done by morning. I'll then get some tanks shots for you. These are small frags and I think that it is going to be a while before they start crowding out the fish. Trading or moving can be done down the road if I start to run out of room.

I would recomend the Merlin. I've had mine about 2 years. I replace the main cartridge every 9 months for $30. when the out going TDS gets above five. In comming to the unit is in the 390's. Works best when using soft water, and water pressure is above 30 PSI, then you don't need a booster pump.

WoW, It took forever to go through all those posts. The tank looks really nice. I hope all goes well
I only have one question...are any of your frags taking off nicely and growing rapidly?

I would start a thread on it in the reef section instead of burying it in someones tank diary...

Ahh, my bust... I figured you were just asking in general - recommended a new thread for more visibility.

This is my first attempt with SPS corals so I am not one with a lot of experience or advise. I do know that water quality, lighting, and water movement are keys for them to be successful. I don't think that I am going to see rapid growth with SPS like you might with other types of corals. Looking at them every day, it doesn't appear that there has been much growth, but if I can get around to taking some pictures, maybe I can compare to the pics when they first arriived and check for actual growth.

Hey Goodwin your tank is just incredible! I loved watching the progress. You did at one point have a link to other web cams that had a better picture, what ever happened to that? Thanks for letting us all peer into your home and for turning us all green with envy. Good luck with it all.
