Took some time off from cutting fallen tree limbs from the storm and made my way out to Coral Ranch.

Picked up a Rose BTA for my lonely GSM Clown (Ember :) )

It was love at first sight in the grow out tank  :laugh:

She darn near JUMPED into it :)



I left the aiptasia on the rock I got it with to feed my peppermint shrimp :) It LOVES them!

I picked it up from Rich at coral ranch. I was having the same problem with finding one that wasn't crazy $$$.

Well ... After weeks of trying to meet up, I had the opportunity today to meet Tidepool and do a little trading.

With that said, I ended up a VERY happy person today because I get to add more light to my system  :-bannanna

I will be upgrading my existing 250 watt MH with ...THIS ....

A Pro Lighting Inc. 400 watt MH Fixture with 2 28 watt CF actinic




Thanks again tidepool !  It was really great meeting you today

WOW .. I just had a beloved family member offer to pick up the tab for led lights over my tanks. He wants me more energy efficient :)

So...After looking at the DIY LED post all I can say is OMG !

Can someone give me the cliff's notes on what I would need for a 48" 75g and a 20g ?  :)

All help is appreciated

PS... I am looking for a 20,000k look (on the blue side)

When you bring the saw back my way, we can talk LED's.   I can do dimming adjustments to show you what you'll get

But for the blue look, you are going to want 3 royal blue to every cool white.

Since my 37g is migrating to a 75g I thought I would put this here and not a new post.

I got my 700g overflow kit and 3/4" loc-line return kit in today from www.glass-holes.com.

GREAT company to deal with. answered all my questions promptly and I got free shipping.

Both kits came complete with glass cutting bits :)

If anyone is interested in a pic of what you get with the kits just let me know and I will post it.

Now I have to find a sump :(
