My tank runs between 78 & 80, and everything seems pretty happy.
Love the pictures Dennis & Pat. Makes me want to get a better camera However, I think I'm saving up for some different lights. Although I keep changing my mind between MH & T5s I did have a small mishap in my tank last week. My frogspawn decided to jump off it's rock and unfortunately landed on my favites. I moved it back to it's spot and thought it was ok. But the head of the frogspawn that was touching the favites is now dying I hope I just loose the 1 head (I've got about 10 on it).

I heard the dogs going crazy, then the doorbell rang. Got to the door to see UPS guy getting into the truck to leave. He left 2 packages at the door....one being the lights!!
You wouldn't believe the shape of the box! I took some pictures and will post them in a few minutes. I'm sure they shipped the lights back in the box Bob paid $48 for. Luckily, the lights work! Bob is putting them back up now. Being all the bulbs were good, we're going to still use the old bulbs, and we still have 6 new bulbs for when we need them.

How the lights arrived:
They must be pretty tough lights to survive that and still work.

Now you know why he dropped and ran.
No different than when I ordered bulbs and the UPS box was bent in half.

Pat,
I have 3 caps in the tank now. The light green with baby blue that I mentioned already, the pink cap (definitely not flat near the middle though ), and a Green with Purple/Blue rim. If they all continue to grow quickly, I'll send you a piece of each. Now I just need to deal with my Tunze issue. Seems that both pumps decided to stop working last night. Maybe they're dirty but I can't imagine them getting that calcium'd up in 2 months to the point they no longer push water. I wouldn't think that would cause the lights to dim on the controller either. But what do I know. |

Danielle,
How many Serpents do you have left in the tank? Possibly one of them could have knocked your frogspawn off. Mine hasn't, but when I was in taking pictures this morning, it went from the sand, all the way to here:

I took a bunch of pictures last night but didn't get a chance to download any of them to my computer. I'll try to do that tonight and I'll post some if I get any good ones

Of course that will be great to see new pictures Danielle.
Yesterday after Bob got the lights back up, it was too bright in the room to get good pictures. The window lights were reflecting in the tank. So last night I went in and turned the lights on and took a few shots: right side of tank: middle: I forgot to take left side. Brian....any word on your Tunze? The tank is so bright compared to what we were using the past few weeks. When Bob put the bulbs back in, I made sure he didn't put the 2 real blue ones on the ends....so we could break up that total blueness. I'm not sure if it's good the way he has them in yet. I don't think I see any blue now.

you prob already considered this - byt you may want to not use full light period for a few days gradually working your way back to whatever you like - so you don't freak/burn the lefe

Roger is taking care of me. It appears that one of the streams has something wrong with it and I sent it back this morning for repair.

A few more pics...
I'm now pretty sure that this is a fire coral (no I haven't touched it ) In this close-up you can see the little "hairs" better

You should watch that fire coral especially since I see your hammer pretty close to it. Mine has wiped out anything on the rocks that it touches.

Thanks Brian & Peggy! I was pretty pleased with the pictures. They just don't seem quite as "clean" as Pat & Dennis's pics. They're pics always look like there's no glass and no water surrounding the corals and fish.
