That is pretty great progress! There is a video that BRS did for your exact tank size and light. I believe they recommend 9" off the water to hit the sweet spot for sps, which I believe they said was 200- 350 par.

Here’s a little progress snapshot with daylights on. Quite a big difference! Can’t wait to see it in another 5 months.

Sweet growth Hentz. Glad to see that you're no longer dealing with the STN that you were dealing with in your cube.

Love the updated pic, Hentz!
Looking forward to the 5 month progress as well!

Wondering if this is an actual Homewrecker Acro.... Purchased it as a random frag a few months back. Though every other week it seems to look more and more like Homewrecker. What do you guys think?

I'm not sure but it sure looks nice! Jason did say he went and collected the homewrecker himself, so its probably not the same as the mariculture stuff that everybody brings in, but you never know.

I dunno but it sure is pretty!
