My GBTA moves constantly. I think he lets me know when the water is not up to standard. He get annoyed and moves & moves & moves. In a day he must have moved 3-4 times. Then the next day the same. And he's a big bugger. He stung so many of my SPS colonies. He's got a spot now but I'll see what happens. All n all he must have moved about 20 times over 2 months.

Thanks guys for the onyx and BTA experience talk. Those onyx look like naka's. I would want something different though like the ones GSM pointed out a while back.
hawaiian, it doesnt matter as anemones and softies will look great anywhere you put them. It woudl be better to keep them at the bottom IMO for aesthetics As for the bulb.. see if you can find a 20K bulb. I've seen some LED spotlights and actually mane3215 is getting some in from Japan. Others in japan are also using the tube lighting in 20k colors which probably uses less power but im not sure how effective they are. I really like it when they use the red colors though! Some people think it looks fake, but I really love it. russ.. I stacked the rocks together without having to use any PVC or glue. This type of rock is very easy to aquascape because of the unique shapes. You just have to turn and twist them adn then look at it from all angles to see if it looks right. The full frontal was on page 36. Maybe you missed it? Here it is: |

Edward, please remind me what kind of rock that is - it's exactly what I'm looking for.

Im thinking about getting a 20K bulb for the middle MH which is never on. It would be used to supplement for 2 hrs daily. Im leaning towards an Aquaconnect 14K 250w SE or a 20K Radium. With the AC's, I dont need the extra PAR because I am not keeping SPS in the middle. I am just looking for something that would fluoresce those corals. I had the 14K AC's in my previous tank in the middle and loved it. But Im not to up to date on what's the ideal bulb to get today for these properties Im trying to acheive.
eric, I will get some pics this weekend of those corals. Thanks for the compliments! Dude, It's a majority of Tonga Nuku Fusion and Fiji Ultra Premium. The big rock all alone on the left is Fiji Ultra from ReeferMadness and so are the plating rocks. The others are Tonga Fusion. |

Your pineapple coral which is Diplostrea Hellipora I think I am spelling it right is one of my favorites. Sweet piece they are rarely imported you gotta great piece. Your tank is coming along nicely. So what Angels are you going to get next?

OT: Invincible, I didn't know you were a GTR fan! I think I saw a post by you on the 6speed forum. I am thinking of trading in my NSX for the new GTR. I doubt I will as I love my car, but the GTR is awfully tempting!

GSM, Im waiting for my SPS to settle in and then I am going to try the blu coral. My rocks went through the green algae phase again after I tried the 3 days no lights method.
mbunaman, thank you. I am always on the lookout for any nice colorful angel. Im also going to add some more blue spine cardinals. russ, thats correct. There is minimal sand by the rocks though. I have an output from the CL behind the rocks that blows away any sand that gets behind them. Maximus, I love GTR's. Ever since I have seen them in Japan many years ago and knowing they would never get here made them that much more desirable. Then they finally decided to sell them in the states. I cant wait until they go on sale next yr. There will also be a lot of competition that I also have my eye on. Im going to bring home something thats for sure and it has to be in the 400HP minimum range. Some of the new M5's have been catching my attention lately and would be perfect for my family of 4. ataylo, thanks for the kind comments. I am very fortunate and love what this has become. This is a great hobby and keeps me at home with my family. Not only that, I have met great friends. |

thanks for posting those pics, t's coming along nicely.
it seems like you have you're lighting pretty set now, but i heard ushio will be coming out with 10k and 14k g12 halides in 150w and possible others...something you may want to consider for the spots, granted you'd need new fixtures. M5? pshhh....go with an RS4 and call it a day
