Looks great. Your light is really high above the tank. Any idea what the par readings are at the sandbed. Looks like everything is growing well. Must be good lights.

Thanks bro....I have no idea what the par reading would be, but when I had the fixture about 6 inches closer to the tank from where it is now, my lps's were starting to fade their color, so I had to lift it some more.

Looking good. Keep in mind that chromis can get pretty big. They also are pretty slow growers.

Thanks Jake...hopefully they last that long, lately, chromis have not been very hardy from no lfs's.

Yeah, I haven't had great luck with them either. I picked up 4 about a year and a half ago. One disappeared right away and now I have another one that isn't looking very healthy.

I wish firefish wouldn't jump! Mine jumped into my filter chamber and got sucked into my maxijet 900 but I saved him before it was too late and he's fine.

Both of my firefish committed suicide also after I had them for over a year. There was only a 1 inch gap or so in the top glass "for the overflow and return" and I found 1 on the glass baked by the halides and the other on the floor 1 week or 2 later. They are really cool fish too. Other than your firefish committing suicide nice birthday score and happy belated b-day!
