man with that frag tank lighting you should get a wee bit of growth.....but ya, you may need a small army of critters and fish to keep things in check....


so, how are you liking the 6 radions?.....do you think that is enough for your footprint now?.....Im not a student like you so I cant afford a whack of them at once but I did pick up one for the upgrade today.....
I transfered my Stary Blenny and Long spine urchin to the fuge for cleaning duty, so far so good I'm just waiting for the dreaded cyano .

Couldn't be happier with them at the moment, all of the corals in the tank are looking plump and healthy and SPS that was brown under my halides is finally making a color up. Foot print wise I would say 6 is perfect for my tank, I just need to come up with a better mounting rack as they sit really crooked at the moment.

*Cough* GREG MASTER WELDER *Cough*

I like the effect with the grow light on but it really messes with the white balance yielding some funny colors.





Couple top downs:
Red Planet, The Chalice.




Anyone elses fish follow them around the tank? Makes it hard to snap good coral shots when I have 50 fish begging for food at all times.





Just for Victor, Space Monsters little sister:

Sounds like you need an aluminum hanging rack for the Radions? Do you want it hangable or rest on tank? Send me a PM with tank dims, spacing between each fixture, hight above tank & spacing on tank. I will draw something up.

Exposure on that first shot is rad. Just see 2 white glows under each fixture. Looks like the UFO invasion.

All ready for the invasion, picked myself up a copy of Space Invasion for Dummies.





I need to pick up some Space Monsters, I wonder why they are so freaking expensive if they grow like crazy . For now these will do, similar color but a tad bit smaller.

The rock structure on the right side of the tank collapsed so a "small" reaquascape was warranted..."small" . 6 hours of bristleworm stings later and I think I'm finally happy with the outcome.

I would call this photo binging:

UFO's!!!


Installed a mirror beside the tank, my HPS Retinadestroyer 5000 now has a reflector to increase retina burn while I work around the fish tank. These photo's are all early morning right as the mangrove grow light is turning on.



Where's Waldo?
