Hi Everyone ,

Just a little update 1YR on for my little 5ft reef tank.

Few battles on the go as with any new tank , had some cyano and some aptasia the war continues but not that worried

Looking good!!! Did you go with led and t5 mixed from the very beginning? I think that's what I'm going with for my new setup, so just kinda interested to see how others evolved to that setup.

Thanks Michelle

WWIII i originally had 2 black boxes led units and a 3 tube T5 Unit for lighting , I then upgraded to the ATI Hybrid LEDx2 with 8x39w T5 , i love the ATI unit and i will have second unit on the way as i want these units for the new build :P

so, my favorite thing is the cat being entertained and I'm sure plotting how he/she is going to get those critters. ; )

She always sleeps on the bed watching the tank , she has never gone hunting around the tank but she loves to watch the show lol.

Cat makes the tank looks small but yeah she is a Maine coon
