yah I like how that feather duster is wrapped around it. Kinda makes it look like it was taken down by a sea serpeant.

Very nice tank indeed. You said tank has been up for two weeks. Did it mean you just set it up two weeks ago ?
If that's the case, it's too soon to keep corals imo.

Yes, I set it up 2 weeks ago, maybe 3 now. Its ok, everything in there came from an established tank. All the LR was well cured. I ran it for a week testing regularly before I put everything in. Basically I moved the contents of my other 2 tanks into this one, this tank did not need a cycle. Normally, for a new tank, I cycle for 1 month.

I have 4 x 54W GEISMANN HO T5 lamps. 2 actinics, 2 daylight. I basically have them set up alternating so that the 2 daylight are on one timer, and the 2 actinics on another as I run my actinics for 12 hrs a day, and my daylights for 8.
