PAR READING
 

http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/...s/1d2023c4.jpg

HERE ARE THE PAR READINGS ON THE TANK, ALL THREE LEDS ARE ON 100%. FOR ALL YOU AI USERS IF THERE IS ANY SPECIAL REQUEST ON PAR READING PLEASE LET ME KNOW AS I WILL HAVE THE METER TILL THE END OF THE WEEKEND, WELL SO I PLAN TO ANYWAYS.

how about a diagram of how the lights are mounted and how high they are mounted??

and I need a par reading in my tank too. so see you at my place tonight? LOL

Always gotta be so critical. jeez man. If you haven't been lazy and read the whole thread you would've known how high they were mounted. YOU JACK! :mrgreen:

I will recap, 9 ais mounted 8" AWL. I mounted them closer to the middle rather then the front and that's why on the front corner of the tank is only 140. Tank is 27 inches high and directly under the AI on the sandbed is 300 plus par.

BTW what time you want me to come over?:question: Dinner on you tonite I guess.:wink:

It really surprised me on the top right corner blue stag taking up so much light. 950 in my mind is rather on the high side and for the brown stag with blue tips, some branches just to the right is still brownish but where its directly under the light is almost all baby blue. looks amazing.

BTW my AI's time table starts at 10am from 10% ramp up to 50% by 12pm, from 12 goes up to 80% at 1pm, 1pm to 5 pm is full blast at 100% then slowly ramp down to 11 pm for night mode. All lights are controlled by profilux. I do use cloud cover, coolest thing ever, but I do not use thunder storm since it scares the poop out of my fishes.

Couple of new pics of the tank.

HELP TO IDENTIFY A SHRIMP
 

http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/...s/fd3b8110.jpg
Can some one help me identify what this shrimp is and why is he in my clam...

Safe shrimps and crabs:
Symbiotic shrimp from the family Palaemondidae (Anchistus, Conchodytes and Paranchistus) or small crabs such as Pea Crabs of the family Pinnotheridae may be visible through the inhalant siphon in larger clams.
These animals live inside the clam and do not harm it, although what they eat and what they do for the clam is unknown.

Need some input on expensive wrasses!!!
 

So story goes like this...

I was at the local fish store and saw a nice looking wrasse, thinking nothing of it I asked for the price. $49 was the reply from a empolyee. I got it bagged up and started heading home. Just before I arrived home I got a call from the lfs telling me that wrasse was a rare rhomboid wrasse they had sold to me by mistake.

Long story short, I took the fish back to the lfs. I did decide to do more research on that particular fish since I just been going on a wrasse binge. I realize how much I like this fish, but the issue is the price has increased tremendously to a whopping $599 for the pair. I can't say that I like the price but it is a nice pair of fish.

So, question is should I or shouldn't I.....

Ask yourself when will you see such fine quality fish again and if $ is no object and the wife likes the fish too then you should keep them. :biggrin:
