Thanks everyone! Skinz ill definitely try to get some more pics soon. This whole having a baby thing really consumes a lot of time.. Who woulda thunk..


As for the growth. Yeah everything is growing really well. I've had similar growth rates with almost everything in the tank. Some slower than other but over all great growth. I am definitely
Impressed with the t5/led combo

Dosing pumps/good salt/ waterchanges/ good filtration and cleaning the tank on a weekly basis are the keys to success if you ask me.. Keep it simple, pick a routine and stick with it. Chasing numbers and constantly tinkering with things only leads to problems and an unstable tank from my experience. I realized that a few years ago and ever since keep a tank has been much more enjoyable

Your little Yoda looks SOOOO CUTE! Haha, I got a boy and girl frags myself.

Your tank looks sweet. Wish the iphone wouldnt come out so blue and washed out looking. We are missing out on seeing the awesomeness of your corals LOL.

Little yoda is adorable!

Your tank thread was the inspiration for my new tank setup. I also did a 32x32 cube (I went 26" high). Rustic stand and all :) ......But mine is a half-arsed version of yours lol. It's only been running a couple of weeks so I still have to hook up the apex and figure out where to hide all wires neatly. I didn't have the room for an oversized stand like yours :( Anyway i enjoy your thread and look forward to the first year update.

Awesome cube! Looking to do a 240 soon! Where did you get your t5 fixtures again? I'm using reef radiance led lighting and they are amazing but wouldn't mind trying the led/t5 combo.
