My full tank growth shots
Just wanted to share with the good people of Reefcentral. Got 3 400watt Radiums and I'm loving them, much better then the 250's I had on my 90. Also loving the Sea swirls, going with no powerheads and everything is doing great. The corals are really loving the random flow.
Thought I would share some pics, these are 3 months apart and been fragging a lot.

Your tank looks great. I used to use sea swirls on my 210g reef and I agree that the corals loved the random flow.

Thanks all. Yeah the Sea swirls are great. One of the best things I ever bought for my tank. My original two were over 5 years old and never stopped 24/7, in fact I still have one on this tank still working. Never have to clean them. I'll get that link

Just stunning. Radiums are definitely my favorite MH. I can't believe the jump to 400 would improve things that much. Nice.

3X400W, that's how! That's a ton on a 180. Awesome tank man, love it.  Would love to put 400W on my tank, but my electricity bill in CA is horrible enough. |

Actually with the 400watters I cut down my Photo period to 5 hours a day. It's always better to under light then over light
I'm going to post more about the tank soon
