Thank you! Just checked out Coral Compulsion's website and this seems like the route I'm gonna go. Im thinking about dipping my toes into a little SPS, so which bulb do you think would be better suited for the tank? The full spectrum 24watt LED 14k or the the 20k?
Man this hobby is addicting. Went to xzotic aquatic in Bensenville the other day and picked up a huge blasto and a hammer frag (although I think it's a torch, maybe someone on here can tell me which one it is). Gotta love their awesome little $20 frag tank when you walk in. Their new place is massive and they have tons of beautiful fish and coral.

Ok, I know I was going to go the Coral Compulsion route, but I couldn't pass up this deal on Ebay for a Rapid LED Par 38 w/ UV and the clamp. So far it looks great! Looks a lot bluer in the picture. I'd say its more of a purple-ish blue to the eye.

Couple more pics with the new light before I head to work. That little b@stard clown bit up my hand today when I was feeding my brain!

Got these palys from SkullV (Ted) yesterday and they seem very happy! Had to drive an hour and a half to get these guys….haha j/k more like 20 steps to cross the street. Didn't know we lived across the street from each other this entire time! Thanks again SkullV! Its nice to another fellow reef neighbor!
Went to Lockport last week to get some stuff from John (TopWater). Man, I could seriously spend hours down there staring at his beautiful tanks! Anyways, I picked up a frag pack consisting of birds nest, blue stag horn, green and red monti, green+blue+velvet mushrooms, organ, GSP, zoas, kenya tree, and I think that's it lol. Here's some pics. Sorry every things a little iffy cause I just did a WC. Heading to the Dells tomorrow to boat and drink beer! Take Care! Thanks again TopWater!
Haha you definitely do! I'm usually always outside on the deck drinking a beer if I'm not working! Feel free to shoot me a text whenever! As for the rapid bulb, happy so far with it and most of my corals are liking it. My duncan coral started splitting like crazy as soon as I hooked it up and my zoa frags are growing as well. The only thing I wish was that the bulb could be a little more bluer. Other than that, no complaints. Thinking about maybe adding another par bulb in the future with only blue leds to make the corals pop.
Welp, got home today and noticed some xenia was touching my blue staghorn and now it looks like the stag is peeling away from the base. Not sure if the xenia caused this or its getting bleached out? I've also scene at times the @sshole emerald crab picking away at the stag as well…..he needs a new home.
. I'm gonna take SkullV ' s advice and try to feed less and hope they die. If not, maybe try some zap tasia on them...
