Nice!! Thx for sharing!! Saw u had a clam at beginning then didn't for a while..now you have a bunch. Did it take tank time to mature? Also what is that green coral w/branches..that's outa control!! Looks great!!
 
Looks like the growth really took off in 2009. What did you start doing different? What type of lighting did you start with and what do you use now?
 
Thanks all!

My tank is a 240 Gallon cube 4"*4"*2" cube.

Lighting before 2012-0712:
In 2009 I got 1 X 400W Reeflux 12K over light rail.This combined with 2 Giessman Aquablue Plus and 2 Actinic Plus is responsible for the explosion of growth.

Lighting Since 2012-0712:

Two dimmable DIY LED lights on 36 inch heat sink with
1) 12 XTE Royal Blue LED
2) 12 XPG Cool White Premium 7.5K
3) 8 XP-E blue
4) 2 XP-E red
5) 2 XP-E Green
6) 12 Violet UV LED's
7) 24 XRE Royal Blue
8) 12 XRE Cool White

Two Apollo LED dimmabel fixture

Two 4" giesemann atinic plus
 
FlyinBryan: I think the tank matured in 4 to 6 months. The green coral is Lime in the sky stag. I moved the clams around as my purple tang was after them. I finally started placing them under SPS and then he stopped bothering them.
