New lighting and started SPS!

I have run PC's for some time now and recently switched to MH and I'm very happy. I added a few SPS and now I just can't stop. I'm already getting growth from some of them. I started taking bad pics cause my hands got tired so this isn't everything I have right now. Yes I know I need to invest in a Tripod.

i like the ricordia and your bignose unicornfish, if your running PC's you need to take out the clam, its no where near enough light for a clam

Re: New lighting and started SPS!

Thanks guys, this is pretty much a frag / grow out tank now I will be upgrading to 180 gallon within the next year. The fish is a Valmingi Tang.

Dustin- I used to run PCs now I have MH. Even so that is a dersa clam which can be kept under pretty much any lighting including T-12's. Although I would never put it under anything less than PC's.
