An update of the tanks

[thejtl]

Hey all, So I made a few additions to my 6 gallon Fluval Edge SW tank (royal gramma and a zoa frag, plus a little more live rock). I also upgraded the lighting on the tank because the LED strip light I had on there wasn't cuttin git when it came to keeping my mushrooms alive. When I wanted to put this tank together it was because I loved the look of the tank and wanted to have those sleek looks with some cool SW fish and corals. I may have to go with a DIY LED that I can put in the canopy. In the meantime, I guess the giant 24" T5 fixture will have to do. It should get those corals growing.</p> <p>In the 180 mixed reef, I have a few new coral additions, but I finally broke down and put a 175w halide above the center opening. It looks like I wheeled a trailer into the middle of a McMansion deveopment with that thing in between two AI Sols, but the light is pretty good. I might make a false canopy to cover the ghetto look.*</p> <p>I'm also including a pic or so of my powder brown tang (as has been chronicled in other threads and annoyed many of you). He was pretty bad off when we saw him last, but he's making a comeback. His eyes are clear, his fins and body less fluffy. Not all the way there yet, but getting better every day. The rest of the fish are still looking great.<a href="http://s1032.photobucket.com/albums/a401/thejtl/?action=view&amp;current=DSC_2325.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1032.photobucket.com/albums/a401/thejtl/DSC_2325.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
