Here is a start from when B first installed it and a picture from today of my tank. I have maintained this tank more than every tank prior so I have zero algae and zero pests for probably; the first time in over 10 years in the hobby!
It will be a shame because I will have to take it down as I plan to buy a house or town house at years end or early next year and plan on going to a 180. The only issue I have had using LED lighting is keeping LPS happy. SPS & softies do great but no matter how much I lower intensity or raise the hanging fixture LPS need to be shaded or they burn, especially once I needed to start dosing.
I have to say much of the success of this tank is due to B at Unique Aquaria for showing me and correcting some of the shortcuts I used to take.
