My 28 led nano at six months. I have mostly sps with a couple of lps and softies include star polyp and zoa's, pair of false Percula Clowns, two peppermint shrimp, a gold Maxima clam and a few odds and ends.. I have only had this tank up and running for six months, I change four gallons every other week, I run Chemipure elite in a homemade reactor for bagged Chemipure, also run Purigen and no skimmer and so far all my water parameters are right on. I use reef crystals salt and have found no reason to dose anything yet. I do my water tests before changing water to see what levels I am running before the new water. My biggest lose was a Crocea clam that fell victim to a large flatworm that came in on the liverock.

Salinity 1025
PH 8.4
Alk 7-8 DKH
Temp 78-79 no chiller
Calcium 460-480 ppm no additives
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 0
Phosphate 0
Magnesium 1400 ppm

Doing great Gabe, its in the lower right corner of that pic. It has started growing on the rock I put it on, colors are real bright and it puts out tetacles all over mostly at night. I think I have a closeup of it, I will post it here.

Its the standard light hood that comes with the JBJ led 28 nano, it consists of Daylight – 25 x 3 Watt – 14K Dawn/Dusk – 4 x 3 Watt – Actinic/466nm Moon – 2 x 1 Watt – Nite-Vu/456nm.
It makes for pretty intense lighting. The picture of the tank was taken with a flash, the led color is a more pure white light with blue tint.

Awesome shots!!! I love it.

Is that pink frag from Tony? That thing is awesome. What's that called and the pink monti growing in the top right?

My wife has sent me on a quest to get some pink into the tank. lol

And someone is going to have to convince me not to buy one of those stars if I ever see one...

Forgive the untrained eye, but what's that in the upper left hand corner on the top?

By the way, tank looks great, some beautiful pieces in there.

Yep that pink is a Stylophora from Tony and the one on top right is a piece of red candy Monti cap. I'm still waiting for it to turn up rather than down, maybe the way it is attaching.

That is a Hydnophora Rigida coral. Got it as a little frag from Ritter and its been growing like crazy!

Thanks for the comments guys!

Ridiculous growth on those corals Donnie. Very nice pictures. That orange linkia really stands out in the tank.

I saw one yesterday but it wasn't the orange it was the dalmation, there may have been an orange and I just missed it.

It was Saturday afternoon. If I remember correctly it was in the top right hand corner on the side wall (as opposed to the back wall). I only remember because I was like "Hey, that's one like that guy on ETAK....wow, that is one ORANGE starfish." Very Happy

Maybe someone else picked it up.

Motor running? Heck, he's probably already left the shop headed up there...just in case.

It was CRAZY busy when I was in there Saturday. Some dude had these two HUGE dogs in there and had them laying right in the front walkway, couldn't hardly get in the front door, and couldn't get to the counter to pay for anything. I was like...man, gorgeous dogs, but did you really have to lay them down right there???
