thanks for all the kudos everyone... just checking this before I retire for tonight... here's some FTS... this is the best I can do.. you guys will get the idea.. most of the frags aren't where they are yet on the tank coz I'm still acclimating with the new lighting.. from PC to MH...

I'll respond more tomorrow...









Thanks again..

Wow Marvin, great zoos. Doesn't looke like there's a whole lot of real estate left on the sand bed I think this depicts a zoo addiction to a T. Great tank and specimens.

the current set up is 250w 10k Blueline bulb SE MH w/ no actinic supplementation.. I use a 2 x 250w PFO magnetic ballast.. I just bought a 20k XM bulb though.. I will also experiment on using 15k XM's and 14k Hamilton's and plan on documenting some growth pics for 3-4 months each bulb...

Thank you all again for the kind words... I hope to get everything situated in the next two months... I hope all of them make the transition.. everything seems to be doing good so I'm really hoping for the best... I will let most of the sought after ones grow for couple of months and will update you guys with before and after growth pics... I'm still cleaning out with some zoas I decided on not keeping to make room for about 5-8 more morphs I'm after..

Happy Reefin'

Marvin

Uh-oh, I think I saw a pic in there without the personal tag! I might just have to take it and use it on another forum. Hehe, just playing. Joking aside, your collection looks great.

Man looking at that Full Tank Shot, I feel like Papa Smurf is going to come out from behind the rocks or something. I feel like Gargamel!
Lots of shrooms!

Thank you to all the complimented me about the tank... still long ways to go..

I'm not sure if it's the Oceanic cube.. my bro special ordered it when he used to work for a LFS..

measurement of the tank is 24"L x 18"W x 18"H...
