Yeah I saw this fixture and it looked like the right light. I can change the lenses on them, I left it low for now but I am gonna raise it a foot next week so I can see in better. If that doesn't work I'll grab some 40 degree lenses.

Thanks! They would look good in here, but they got a good home in the main display!

Default random LPS tank shots

Just took a few shots of the tank, couple of my favourites in the tank. Its been running pretty well considering it has not skimmer or filtration! Just water changes! As You may have guessed ive switched this to a LPS tank for the moment, im gonna grow out the monti's in the other tank and then transfer frags over to this tank.

Just a top down shot, excuse the lights right in the middle of the tank, and the heater!

Thanks! It's amazing what Lps does in a dedicated tank. I think the lack of filtration really helps them, they look way better when I don't run the skimmer.
