That's a lot of actinic...

It'd be easier, if it does turn out to be too yellow, to just switch to 10,000k 175s.

easier, perhaps. but at sixty bucks a pop, definitely not cheaper!

I prefer a crisp white with a hint of blue - typical 50/50 PC coloration. that's all I'm after here, lol.

Start factoring in 8 PCs at $20 to 30 a pop and it evens out pretty quickly though...

That's why my 180 will eventually be lit with all Par38 spots, no lamp replacements.

SHIMMER!!!!!

OH SHI- IT'S FROM THE OTHER DIMENSION!

I approve of this pic.

thanks. the dancing rainbow on my tile floor is

quick video posted to my blog. I am seriously astounded at the difference in clarity between the PCs and the MH, more so than in tanks past. these iwasakis are fantastic. and the color is perfect - I only used four of the 65w actinic bulbs, and the color is perfectly white with the slightest hint of blue, just how I like it. wooo!!

Ooooh, purdy.

That is awesome! That picture is fantastic. Off to fickle waters to watch video.

not sure if you're still looking, but it's on sale:

yeah, I saw it. I'm still debating getting it for the 10g as a centerpiece, or just letting my pink yumas divide and conquer.

Nice video and good choice of song.

Wow, that is looking very nice.
That Sea Turd on the bottom is pretty funky looking.
Love the Skunk Clown.

well ok then

Tank is looking great. Nice video and blog as well. Gonna check it out more often. I love that trigger. I would love to get one. Have you had any problems with it towards it's tank mates and corals?

Speaking of flower anemones, I just got this one from Reef Gardener. She's been having a few of them the last couple of weeks. It has a much greener center than the ones on LA.

yeah, the problem I have is that I don't need enough corals to justify shipping. I like the red epicystis, but they're just not worth $100 to me.

That's true. I had to buy a whole bunch of rics and sea cucumbers to offset the shipping. That's what I hate about ordering online. Still, sometimes it's still cheaper than the LFS.

redesigned the blog - or rather, since I have absolutely no skill with the internets, I got a better template. more professional like. I also now have a defined purpose: nooblet training. god help me.

I like the new layout. It does look better.

thanks. I changed the title of this thread, too - looks like the previous title prophesied the demise of the relationship.

oh well, I got my wish - the ginger will finally keep his damn hands out of the tank.

Im sorry..

Tank looks really nice tho.

Sorry for your loss. I really hope it wasn't over the tank.

Sorry to hear. I kind of figured when I saw the new thread title, but I didn't want to ask.

On the blog, the two columns are a bit busy - are they just all the recent posts in chronological order?

no worries. this tank is now officially the child we had together but can never get rid of and now we're stuck seeing each other every other weekend and on the big holidays. or something.


yup. I may change it again if I find a better template, I just needed something a little more professional than the crappy default templates that blogger offers.

I think just one column would be better than 2...or have the two columns be two different categories of posts - like equipment posts and livestock posts...or something.

at any rate, today the wife and I are supposed to work on our "family blog" together...so...woohoo

tank looks real sharp Jer.

<-- no skills. if it's not part of the template, I cannot change it.


thanks!

i know this guy named el fab...you should use him.

Bad role model IMO

what an amazing tank!! love it!

I don't get it.


thanks!

nice tank so far.. see all that #####ing and moaning for nothing. lol hopefully it made your relations with your lover much better as well..

lulz


tank looks fantastic as always

dead clownfish.

NO!!!
Pls say it's not the Orange Skunk!

nah, that little bastard is doing great, lol. it was one of the percs. he was fine yesterday, then tonight he's all cloudy eyes and pale skin and on his back in the sand breathing heavily.

also, I just remembered it was the female and I don't feel like changing all the pronouns.

it's been like 3 weeks. wtf?

yeah, it's also been like three weeks since I scraped the glass, lol.

Same here, but if I do my turbos will starve

Awesome tank! Softie tanks are my favorite, I am with you about not being an SPS person. Any new FTS any time soon?

meh, eventually. I have been neglecting both my tanks for a few weeks, I need to do some hardcore maintenance.

Uuuuuupdate! Come on, slacker!

The Homewrecker looks fantastic!

And I'm not saying this just because you're a mod.

This tank is being torn down. Time to move on.

Parting shot:

lol


i mean

apparently you're psychic, although you had the order backwards.
