    I'm running 4x39W T5 lighting (2 blue/2 white) with Icecap SLR reflectors and 54W ballasts. I'm also running a 150W Phoenix (I think, it's been a while since I ordered it) halide over it.

    Great photos. I recently read the thread about build the work tank. Good stuff. A year later these pics. I can only hope for such success.

    Thanks for the kind words!

    Unfortunately, I had a serious setback this week. This tank is at work in my office and I come into work Monday to find that the circuit breaker that the tank was on was tripped and I can only assume from the carnage that the tank was without power most of the weekend.

    About 1/2 of the SPS were sheet-white and dead. The frogspawn didn't look good. I lost 1 fish, but the other 3 are still there. I moved the clams and some SPS and the two frogspawn and the candy cane to another tank where they seem to be ok for the most part, but time will tell.

    You don't even want to know how bad my office smelled. The water was in the low 60's for temp and just today did it manage to get back into the high 70's.

    Very frustrating. It's not like SPS grows like grass. I grew those frags from little 1" high plugs.

    I'll need to have a fund raiser to get some more SPS. lol

    I did a full battery of water tests and was actually surprised at how good they were. I was expecting super high readings of 'trites, 'trates and Ammonia. I suppose they still could spike. We'll see.

    I'll let you guys know in a few days how the rest of the inhabitants are faring.

    Major bummer. Sorry for your loses. You are fortunate to have another tank available. Hope everything pulls through.
