Thanks guys...
My tank is a 72G BF w/ 30G sump....w/ Refeguim 30W lighting.
Berlin Turbo skimmer, 2 Ebo Jager Heater, Mag 950 as return
4 MaxJet PH controlled by a RedSea Wave Maker.
5 55W PC for lighting...2 10K, 2 Actinic 03, 1 9.5K
About 90 lbs of LR.....
Ruinning Carbon and PolyFilter
Have not check water parameter for a while....I know the Nitrate is a bit high...

The thing at the bottom left hand corner is a Button/Donough Coral...I'll be trading it back to the LFS once they get some nice Purple or Purple and Green Fungia.....
As well there is a recovering Symphyllia at the bottom left hand corner of the tank....

Duce, real nice. Also good to see that PC's make for a nice tank too. Just set mine tank up w/ a 4-65W PC fixture and would be intrested to get your feedback on what does or doesn't do well in your tank.

In terms of what did well and what didn't.....
I had a Bubble Coral which doubled in size in about a year and ended up being traded back to the store.....
My Blastomussa...the big red thing beside the green spotted mushroom is doing really good....at least doubled in size...
My Monti Cap is doing amazing....I swear I could see it grow on a daily basis...BTW got that from Reef Gallery
My Hydonpora is not doing so great but its condition looks more stable than I first got it.....
My Forgspawn went from 4 heads to the now 7 in less than 3 months.
My Ridge Coral is doing amazing....it was a piece that almost frozed to death (when going to the store)....it only has a hint of brown when I first got it (Boxing Day)......now the thing has its polyps open on one side for 3 days straight.
On a sad note...I've also lost some brown monti digita (spelling??) and couple of acro frags....these guys expired in 1-2 wks time in the tank.....I also lost my first colony of Xenia within 2 days....I have also losted a Fox coral previously....
So far, the latest (Blue Tip) acro addition is doing fine (2 wks)....
knock on wood...
If you look closly I actually have a Maxima in the tank...bottom within a little plastic container....I had the thing for a few months...I had lost couple of Squamoussa previously but I think it had something to do with their 'freshness' - been sitting at the store for a month....
The torch coral originally had six heads but now only one....

Thanks for the detail Duce. Goives me a good benchmark for possible future additions.

FWIW I have a fox a torch coral which seem to be really doing well under the PC's
