Regal is still in, he hasn't done any more damage mostly b/c he already ate everything that he wanted to and now waits for me to feed him lol

I haven't had time to take any fish out so they are all in there, I still plan to take some out this coming year thou.

Hey Mako, amazing tank!!! beautiful corals aquasescaping everything as usual!!!
have you thought about just running your MH less hours? so u can can use the bulb longer? the growth is already steady... nice website too !!!

makoJ · 12/23/2008, 09:42 PM

Thanks, yes I have cut back on the MH's I only run them for 5 hours a day so I get a little longer on the bulbs.

The tank still looks fantastic. Do find you are having a loss of color with the shorter photo period?

TandN · 03/15/2009, 11:23 AM

Yeah would love to see someupdated pics

makoJ · 04/03/2009, 09:36 PM

I've had a great run....but as of late I find I just don't have the time nor the passion I once had for my tank. I had a rough last couple of months and b/c of alk issues I have lost quite a bit of coral. So very soon I will have everything for sale. I may be out now but I'm sure I will be back in the future, as I just need a break now.

Peace out and happy reefing!
-Brian

mpoletti · 04/03/2009, 09:38 PM

I am sorry to hear Brian, but I can definitely understand. Take care and I wish you the best of luck.
