Well, heres my 20 gallon in progress

[SaltyMist]

Okay, I've accomplished my initial goal, that of to get more light in the tank.

 

So heres a couple shots of before and after.

 

This first one is with the 65w only, it's a 50/50 custom sea life bulb, and I absolutely hate it, but I accidently dropped the fixture into the tank a couple days ago, so it burned out my coral life 65w 50/50 with true 03 acitinic, so I had to put back in the custom sealife bulb. To my eyes, this bulb makes the tank look very green.

 

 

Now heres the tank after adding a 55w 10,000k bulb (I had to get the 55w retro kit as it's all that my LFS stocked and gave it to me for $49.00) So this shot has both the 65w 50/50 bulb on and the 55w 10k bulb.

 

 

It definately looks better in person as the colors are quite vibrant in person and get really washed out in photos.

 

My camera a Sony F717 was just out of charge when I uploaded these to my computer so I've got it on the charger now and will post some macros later on. Theres not a whole lot in it right now,

2 clowns

1 firefish (in perpetual hiding)

1 peppermint shrimp

4 scarlet hermit crabs (oops, I mean 3, one died somehow and I found it's body yesterday)

3 margarita snails

4 algae snails

3 Jumbo huge algae snails

1 redfooted moon snail. (see photo below)

5 cyrinth (sp) snails

1 brown mushroom rock (with about 15 mushrooms on it)

1 green frilly mushroom branch (with about 15 mushrooms on it)
