Tank is gorgeous, can't wait to get mine started up..... currently building the light rod you helped me with

Got some SPS to see how they fair. A Setosa and ORA Hawkins. Also mounted some more coral on the rockwork. Added pods, Chaeto, and a crap load of snails that are crawling out of the tank every night o.O So I went ahead and bought a DIY Screen top.

Any ideas on how to secure it? Im thinking since my water level is so high, use magnets or velcro attached to the tank top and the screen maybe?

Zoa Garden before I mounted some:

Acans that went from all red to orange, red, yellow, green with white stripes:

Whats your lighting schedule and power selection?

Nothing really new to update. Tank is slowly jugging along. Mounted some new coral. Threw a ton of pods in the tank. Yada Yada Yada.

Also figured out how my Fugia Plate moves o.O

Started out slowly puffing up more than normal at night:

Tank looks great. Wonderfully done. It will look great when all those frags grow up.

Update time

Got tired of pushing snails in the tank at night and waking up to long streaks of water down the sides. Went and bought a BRS DIY Netting kit. Works out really well too! Pretty simple to build. In celebration of putting the net on, I went out and bought three new fish. Two tiny Misbar Clowns and a Firefish. The first hour was general nipping and such but everyone has settled in nicely. The Firefish defintely holds its own. All fish thankfully eat dry food but Im supplementing their diet with DIY frozen food. Also grabbed a few SPS (Undata, Purple Rim Cap, BN, and a Green Mili) Nothing else to report.

Wow some great fish selections and really nice looking coral.
The sump looks so organized compared to anything I usually do.
Great job!!
