Its not that I missed out. I told Carmen if she liked it and wanted it, she had better take it, because if she didnt I was going to. So I guess I forced her hand a little.

I have a TEK 4X39 on my 46 gal and they are bright, but the 6 is just just wow.

BTW, what is the hairy stuff on your T5 lights?
Thanks "A". I am pleasantly surprised by how much light they put out. Mind you , its only a 20" deep tank.

The hairy stuff was just for you mista "Hairy" I threw a towel over the tek to cut back the amount of glare so I could take the pics.

Thank you very much. I dont know how many hours Ive spent either going through piles of lr looking for that perfectly shaped piece, or trying to make that now not so perfectly shaped piece once you get it home fit.

Reef tanks never cease to amaze me. A couple weeks back I was pumped when I managed to get a big black hairy mf crab that I had been "hunting" for a while. Well last night after the daylights went out and actinic was left on I notice another one of these hitchhiker crabs. I am wondering if an emerald crab that I bought months back was possibly carrying fertilized eggs when I brought it home??? It didnt look like an emerald to me, but the lfs dude assured me it was(???) saying emeralds come in a few different color variations. So the hunt is on again. I cant leave this crab in the tank. Everything thing Ive read suggests black and hairy is baaaaaaaaad. It does have the algae eater pads on his claws tho. So anyway, as Im now combing over every square inch of the tank last night with a flashlight, looking for more of these crabs, I see movement. I look with the flashlight and of course dont see anything. I wait a minute or two and go back to the same spot in the rock and find my hectors goby! Second time in three months I have seem him(that was a good buy ). I had wrote him off for dead, long ago. My tank is not that big, you would think I would at least spot him at feeding times? I like to think that I am an observant person but...?

The tank is looking great, and the pics by JDigital are well shot. Everytime I see pics of this tank its growth is tremendous.

Doug,
Your tank gets better every time I see it. The T5's are certainly doing a good job of keeping things thriving.

By the way, do you have any heating issues with the new lights?
