Congratulations on the win! :celeb2: Your tank is awesome! You take very good pictures. :beer:

Beautiful tank! Congrats :D

thanks guys! =)

Now I know what I awnt my tank to look like! You have a very nice Tank....

Wow, your tank is beautiful! Is the sunpod your only light? The colors are so vibrant and I was wondering if you supplemented with actinic

Thanks for the comments! As of right now the only light source is the sunpod with the stock bulb. I need to change the bulb soon so I'm going to try the 14k Astralux bulb. I'm also interested in the new Current LED actinics, so I might give those a shot.

Are these the LED actinics you are talking about?

I didn't know that LED's could actually affect corals in a significant way

yep those are the LEDs! =) They aren't beneficial for coral growth. I'm getting them to enhance the colors in my tank.

wow amazing tank!

Totally BEAUTIFUL !
