good news, the hair algae is pretty much gone except for a few small strands in various places. The snails are mowing it down.
I'm a little lacking on the fish right now as the trigger went into QT a few weeks ago b/c he got ich. It was mild but keep reoccuring so i decided to take care of it. He will be in there for at least one or two more weeks to be safe but the copper treatment with hypo dropped the cysts real fast and they haven't come back. The QT temp is raised to 83 to speed up the life cycle and the DT is at 82 for the same reason in case it is lingering in there. My maroon never caught it though which is good. I'm holding off on more fish until i'm sure its gone. So i've pretty much just been adding corals to it. I'm waiting on the LFS to frag up the porites colony with all the christmas tree worms and i'll pick up that too. I want to start getting into some more rare corals. I am shooting for a more spread out coralscape with more room to grow. Fishwise i'll put something pretty hardy in next incase the ich somehow survived a couple of months with no host. I plan on adding a powder blue tang and some anthias in the next couple of months. I gotta do some reading up on anthias though, i've never kept them and don't know much besides they eat alot, and can be finicky.

The trigger went back in the tank today and is looking very good. I've had very good growth from the birdnest and millepora. I'm about to place an order from pacific east aquaculture to pick up some rarer frags and I was going to go to coral dynamics today but am going fishing this evening so I dont think I have the time.

Kyle,
Are there any updates on your tank? How do you like your solaris fixture? Had any major problems with it... |

Nice setup.
See LarryW tagging along. LarryW & I purchased H series about the same time. Both 120 tech setups ;-) Since then I returned the Solaris. Too many problems with LED strip dieing. They did finally take care of the return which allowed me to spend more $$$ on other stuff. Good thing adding to your clean up crew. Keep us updated on your 120
