TL-550 with some SWAGGER

By the way, tanks up and running, cleaned and filled with saltmix lastnight ..... So need to get liverock and arag if I decide against barebottom .... What's your guys opinions on barebottom .. @mandarinman I notice your tank is barebottom on startup and you were running stable, and @ end of thread you have nitrate problems and you have a sandbed...you regret adding a sandbed?

also mounted my 250watt 20000 kelvin MH unit that will soon be sprayed satin black to match tank and then modifies into a suspended unit 20-30cm above water level

Looks good....think you will eventually regret getting so much rock......If I could start over would probably only use about 8kgs. Also, lets hope the algae during the cycle does not irretate those coral you already have in there....
 
250 watts on a nano? Don't you think that's a bit much. You might need to apologize to the livestock for giving them sunburn.

Please watch your shorthand typing, it's very confusing to read.

Have to agree....250 is a bit overboard.....a 150, or a decent LED mod would have done the trick....
