And so... finally fixed up my lights and chiller and teared apart my current reef tank to relocate the corals to my new tank

The light intensity of the ATI Sunpower dimmable is amazing for me, first time T5 user.. Visually, it has matched my current light set with only 40% running power, 4x blue+ & 4x coral+, will swop out 2 coral+ for another blue+ & actinic..

teared apart almost 50% of my current reef to relocate the corals.... heart breaking... :pinch:

Nice setup.. I like ur double return pump.. I ever thought of that when i do upgrading and thought im a crazy fellow.. Now i know its acrually works and im not alone.. Heard so many abt return pump spoilt and many casualties. So scared.. Coz once u upgrade mean more livestocks. So more heartpain.

My fav fishes in my tank

Big Boss (touch wood, never had any disease or sickness before, even survived a bad wavemaker accident during its juvenile stage, recovered fully. Never pick on any small or weaker fishes. Only tail slap the other two tangs when they get naughty. LOL)

One of the sparring session between the big boss and his two side kicks.

I'm really lucky and happy to keep these beautiful fishes in my tank. Fishes are really much more interesting than corals at times as they have their own temperament and habits. 

Fun to see how they establish their territory and hierarchy too! :D
