Ok so here's a status update. I lost my one green chromis. Poor guy went belly up last night. And mysteriously when I left to go to Walmart my small male ocellaris clown decided to pull a disappearing act.... I have still yet to find him... I installed a 175 watt metal halide over the tank with a 14 watt 225 blue led panel as accent. I found my blue mushrooms, 6 heads of trumpet have already started growing back, there is 3 new heads of frogspawn, my Duncan has a sliver of lime green meat growing back. My favia is returning back to its pretty colors, the gorgonia, birdsnest, all 4 Monti species, and my spongadode has all bleached out. And my green apple acro is toated. :-( on the plus side I found everybody else and all my LPS and softies are starting to regerate. I also found my curly q nem and the macro mini carpet nem is back to its beautiful color versus the ugly brown it had turned. I am going to try and get my 125 filled today. We will see how well that goes. I am also going to do a 2nd 30 gallon and make it a species only reef with maroon lightning clowns. My attempt is going to be plumbing the 2 30 gallons together in a 40 gallon sump to increase my water volume to a 100 gallon setup so I can provide plenty of water capacity to completely stock both 30 gallon with as much coral as possible. Any suggestions on compatible tank mates. Nothing too big. The clowns/nem will be the center forefront of each tank. But I can do a few other small species of fish and some colorful. But stationary corals. I would like to have nems to have the most movement to draw your eye to it.
