35 hex a SPS journal

[Anonymous]

hi all,
just got back from drs foster-smith frag swap/coral conference - good time had by all, they did an excelent job.
sold all 35 of my frags in about an hour and then spent all of my money on SPS frags for my hex- some from other traders and some from dr foster-smiths new coral farm frags. I just hope my experiment works now. I've got 5 watts/gal ( I can add 56W PC yet if I want) and 42x tank volume flow. Water tested good on all parameters on friday.
I'll take some better pics later of some of the nicer acros and montis.

I've decided to try and document this tank and report success/failers - for input of other SPSers out there. So from the begining:
175 MH 14K hamilton bulb
2 seio 620 pumps - total flow 42x - may add 2 more power heads later
HOT mag with DIY overflow and carbon - may switch to aquaC HOT skimmer
~25 lbs live rock
7 Montipora frags and 7 Acropora frags and 1 Tmaxima clam ~2"
Initial tests DkH 11.2, Ca 415, No3 5ppm
Food - enriched cyclopeeze
