Tank Entry

I have a 93 gallon marineland cube tank that has been running for about 14 months. it is lit by 2 of the new aquaillumination LED lights. I have a small bioload of 6 fish. Starting back in January of 2010 i began slowly adding SPS corals.

My nitrate, phosphate, amonia are all undetectable on salifert tests. my mg is 1300, alk is a little high at 10, and calcium is 430. I have a Staghorn Acropora and the DFS blue tenius.

At first, my lights were definately too hi ...

Every Saturday I do my weekly maintenance on my tank. I thought I would share some photos. Tank is a 65 gallon. I change out 10 gallons per week, never missing a water change in 3 1/2 years.
Current salt of choice is Tropic Marin Bio-Actif.

A friend of mine just brought me a crap load of coral rubble home from Aruba. I was just wondering how do I treat it so I can add it to my tank, or if I can at all. I have been looking up adding coral rubble on the internet and it seems everyone has a different opinion on the matter. What do you think I should do? I was just going to boil a couple of pieces and incorporate the pieces very slowly on a weekly basis.

i'm movin on up to a 180 gallon tank with a 60 gallon adhi refugium, and i'm woundering what would be good plants to put in the refug with a sand/mud mix on the bed. any advise would be great, thanks. oh yea i live in california so it looks like that throws out a few options.

Hello i figured since i haven't really done much on this site that i would at least post some pictures! The better ones were doctored using the photochop technique in the featured section

EDIT: broke down and got noise ninja fixed a couple pics.
