Here are some updated pics of my tank I installed in March/06,
the T-5's made a difference in the corals.

I'm going to start adding more corals in a week.

looks good captivereef,

did the T-5's hinder your corals or was the change to T-5's for the better?

Do I see 3 Yellow tanks in that 120g tank or are my eyes playing tricks on me

deansreef: The switch to T-5's was a benefit to the corals!!! They colored up right away and are growing every week.
There was more of a change in my corals using T-5's than Metal Halide.
s3al: Yes I have 3 yellow tangs, and I'm about to add some more fish and corals. All the coral frags have doubled in size since their introduction in March.

loooking gooood!.....something to think about.....I would add a few more pieces of rock in the middle to hide the powerheads and it would also provide more places to put corals......

Thanks Mike,

I'm in the process of shaping some dried coral rock, to install in that spot. I'm going to glue on the new frags to this tall rock.
