as for the lighting...
i may just tear my hood apart and rig something up to use my current lights, otherwise i may be in touch with you guys.
now i need to vent, i have more deaths today. but i feel soooo responsible, its sucks. i had a cucumber in one of the tubs...and it got sucked into a PH and shredded. there were a couple corals in there that may be dead, including my large green star polyp (the ones that were continually spawning)and porites rock, and a couple different montis...and a couple frags. but the thing that hurts is that my yellow tang was in there.
he was one of my fattest fish.
of crap! my pistol shrimp/goby pair was in there too!
everything else seems to be holding up OK. geez a that rate i may be looking at a big downgrade. anyhooo, i will be in touch with you fostercare parents tommorrow to make arrangements for a thursday pickup/drop off of most of my remaining livetock.
thanks again everybody.
