Thanks Denny but I think the 2 - 250w MH will be more then enough for my depth of tank.

Looks great, I particularly like the end shot looking down the length of the tank.

A few new additions to the reef in the last week or so.

Added a Powder Blue Tang, could not help myself when I went in to Blue World and seen them. So nice and heathly and eating well. He is a little stressed out for the move but is doing great eating good and out in the open. Picked up another Bangii Card as well, here's hoping I get a mated pair as so as they find out each other is in the same tank.

Added a McCorsker's Flasher Wrasse from Red Coral Edmonton as well as a nice blue Crocea clam, thanks Steve. Was a little worried about the Flashers Wrasse yesterday when he was just hovering kind of stuck to the overflow. But today when I fed the tank there he was happy and eating great.

Stopped at Aqua Marine ran into Doug and Laurie (what a cute couple those two are) and wouldn't you know it but a little green brain followed me home.

Still have to put the MR1 and the Reeflo Snapper into service and pick-up my GHL Proflux 2ex controller yet plus order my new light's but it is all coming together once again.

Pictures will be coming soon as I get a new waterproof camera.

Greg, If you are getting a Profilux you need the T5's I have and Dimm2 Power bar I have. Dimmable T5's are Frickin AWESOME!!

It's 2 (2x54watt) ballasts with waterproof endcaps and 4x 48" ice-cap reflectors. It might mean building your own rail as opposed to a fixture and mounting a couple of MH reflectors, as opposed to an enclosed fixture but the result is well worth it.

Let me know if you're interested and we can hammer out a price!

That could be interesting. I am looking at getting 2 new fixtures that have 2-250w MH and 2- 54w T5's. I was talking with Steve at RCE and he gave me a neat idea to use 2 of my existing fixture with color only bulb like actinic, Fiji purples and such to add some different color spectrums.

If you want to stop by and look at them just send me a message, I'm right in Red Deer now so stopping in isn't a huge journey anymore. It wouldn't be a big hassle at all to plug it into my profilux and give you a demo.

Hi, it was great seeing you again too Oh, and thanks for the last minute gift you gave us I always wanted a bag of air I have to admit I had a very good laugh over that

Your tank is looking good and glad to hear the new additions are doing well.
