Did a lot of work to the tank last night and this morning. Last night I did a really thorough cleaning where I blew off all of the rocks and stirred the sand around as I did my water change. Cleaned off all the glass this morning and such as well. Because of the cleaning I've got some diatoms this evening. They weren't there yesterday... and I doubt they'll be there tomorrow. At least I hope they're gone! ;-) I've got some new corals since the last time I took pics too. I've got two blue acros, one the more traditional blue and another that's a very light blue, looks almost white. I also got some procilipora (pink and green), a green birdsnest, orange digitata and a greyish-green with purple tips montipora. Also... added some rock and moved some things around. :-) Anywho... on with the show!























No blue LED pics yet... those will be on after 8, so I may update tonight with Blue LED pics.

Edit:Blue LED pics... :-)

    Lol. I have a terrible selection at my local fish stores! The only items in my tank purchased from LFSs is the maxima clam and a green goby. Everything else has been given/traded for or ordered in from online (www.thecoralshop.com). Local fish forums are where it's at! :-)

    Thanks midnight. :-)

    Thanks guys. My pink milli hasn't put it's polyps out since the move but today they finally peeked through. I was getting worried about how high it was... maybe getting too much light? That LED fixture is approx light of a 250w MH, hung 6" above the water... What do you guys think? It's in very high flow also... most everything above that rock gets high flow.
