new update,lost the gramma but black cap and 6 line doing great,just ordered a new set of bulbs for my fixture,got 2/250w 14k pheonix,and 1 purple plus,2 blue plus and 1 true actinic ATI bulbs,should be here this week,will post before and after pics
 
ok been a while since the last update,lost and gained a few corals due to some unexpected power outages over the last month but overall things have gone better so far this year,am getting some new corals here this week so im excited about that.down to 2 fish the one clown and the 6 line and the cleaner shrimp
 
thanks smitty,its been a hell of a year last year but really hoping things start looking up from now on,bee threw to much already,not only in the tank aspect but the personal one too,at least i can say the hair algae problem i was having is pretty much gone after a couple months of running the gfo reactor,lucky for me my clam seems happier now then ever before almost lost my whole colony of grape monti i got off fast,some of it is starting to come back as well as my bearly hanging on purple haze monti
 
here are a couple pics after adding a platinum purple sebae that is 10+ inches and 2 trachys,some rics,a st thomas mushie,several zoa/paly frags,ordered a new reef octopus 2000 hob skimmer to boot
