There's probably an easier way to write this code, but I'm still pretty new to the apex coding thing. Gyre Icecap Module coding:

Polyp extension is awesome! 
Can't get a good read on the color, but the no name monti looks a lot like Pink Caddillac http://www.reeffarmers.com/auctionedpinkcadillac.htm
The pics out there on this coral vary quite a bit....

If my partial color blindness is causing me to see pink instead of orange (sigh), there is also the Orenji Danae.

Hm, that second one is definitely closer. This one is a bit different though, it has a mix of orange and white polyps (around the sides). Unfortunately when I first got it, I almost killed it. I saw a hitchhiker I didn't know on it and dipped it for 30 min in CoralRx and 30 seconds in straight RODI. I thought it was for sure dead but in under a month it has come back around to the pic I posted.Polyp extension is awesome!

Well, tried switching out one of my T5 bulbs today to get a little less blue since after next week I'll have little to no LPS in the tank. Unfortunately I can't tell the difference, other than the fact that the tank does look a little bit dimmer. Will have to see how the coral responds. Can you guys tell a difference in color at all?

I'd have to agree. Don't notice much of a color difference but photo looks slightly dimmer. Regardless the tank still looks awesome!

Another little care package showed up at my doorstep this morning from Chicago. Huge thank you to [MENTION=84]ColaAddict[/MENTION] for the awesome pack! These guys have a little coloring up to do after shipping, but I wanted to get a baseline photo for growth. Between these and the two TCK pieces coming Saturday the tank is ACTUALLY full (which is really depressing!). Ideally I'm going to move the GSP somewhere and do a little SPS island with a couple A. carduus pieces in the future
Picked up a Starburst Cap since the plain jane red cap I had was boring
Pretty happy with how my GOW Acro is coloring up. It was very upset with me after moving it several times and breaking off several tips each of those times. Finally settled back in!
The WCR Rainbow is starting to get back to how my old one was. Can't wait to get it fully colored up under the hybrid fixture. I have some more LED stuff arriving Saturday to add a little more PAR and color options.
Spent a little time today splitting up my screen top into three sections as well. This lets me remove the center section easily whenever I want without having to move the light constantly. The Tek legs are nice for holding up the light, but a pain when you want to get into the tank with a full screen!
and of course a little FTS!

[MENTION=2509]rockhead[/MENTION], I think the Pink Lemonade is holding up! Definitely my favorite piece in the tank:
Here's the bulb combo NOT to use (on its own). B+, AB Special, C+, B+. Super ugly yellow tank:
But here's the reason for that. Adding a second independent channel of LEDs. Had to make some brackets and do some cutting/drilling on the Rapid heat sinks, but I'm happy with the result. Waiting on some more connecting wires to wire it all up.
Final layout (all CREE, no optics). Each channel will be controlled individually by apex.

i have a center overflow and placed both my gyre 130s in the back - one on the left and one on the right...i then placed an MP10 on the right...only reason is aesthetics as well as scraping glass...i didn't want the 2 gyres on the sides being a eyesore and making it harder to scrape glass which i'm doing every other day...and the one MP10 just provides random flow....seems to work just fine but one day i might try having a gyre on each side to see if it makes any difference. However, seeing that your sticks are smack in the middle of your tank, do you feel that they aren't getting enough flow? most of the flow, i would think, would just circle all your acros, leaving it almost dead in the middle, unless you don't have them synced and the gyres just clash against each other in the middle?

Nope, everything is definitely getting enough flow now. It wasn't the case with only one gyre since only 50%ish of the tank was getting proper flow. Now the flow switches every 30 min and everything is great! I also have the XF150s running at 40% in a 40br so there is a LOT of water moving in the tank. Wouldn't be possible with a sand bed of anything other than tropic Eden reeflakes (or larger).
