Something about posting photos incited me to do more work! So now I have moonlights!

First there was heat shrink, 2 blue LEDs, and 2 big resistors.


Then there was lights...


And now my tank has two artificial moons!


Now I'm putting my camera down for the evening.

Just to mention, the LEDs are 15,000MCD, 100mA, and the resistors are 100 OHM, 2% tolerant, 2W.

FYI Kevin (Krazykuch) assembled the above moonlights lights, I just took photos and asked lots of questions. That was about it for my share of the work in building the moonlights, aside from purchasing, and picking out colors!

The tank is officially up and running!

Over the course of the last few days I have moved over most of my SPS, and all of my clams from the 230g display.

A shot just after all the SPS and clams arrived in the tank


The first fishy inhabitant, a yellow shoulder tang. its approximately 1" in length at this time. I plan to move it to a much larger tank once it grows bigger, and stronger.


The tank this evening. I'm not pleased with the lighting, I find everything to be too yellow. I think I will be swapping out my 10,000K PC for a second actinic bulb.


A closer shot of everything tonight.

Thank you!

I'm done with adding clams to this tank. If anything I would be removing 1-2 of the larger ones, but I'm not sure yet. I am letting it run to the end of the month before I make a decision.

How many clams can you find?
