heres an orange crush, its a bit blurry, the oc is left hand side back ground.
it is orange, green and a tiny tiny blue.

Randi, is that the same acan i gave you under the actinics?

i am wishing i had actinics

Close, but not quite John. Well from what I can tell anyways. The one I've got has alot more green and blue, I just can't get it to show in the picture.

I can't remember what you said you were running bulb wise. But Geissman True Actinic or Blue + whatever it's called would make your tank pop more. Or Fiji Purple.
But to be honest, I like the way your tank looks now. The colours are genuine

..unless you were asking if the acans in the actinic shots are the ones from you...in which case yes. Both of them

yeah, i have gone over this idea, over and over again, wheather or not to add actinics, probably just keep with the KZ approach and keep with the new gens, and fiji's

The new acan changes colour by the hour it seems...

Helllooooo back from the dead.

Alright, so CBB died, Ember Blenny Died and Kole has been moved to a different tank. Kind of let the tank get out of hand in terms of, y'know, NOT doing anything too it for a couple weeks, so it pretty much looks like butt. I did pick up this fantastic piece of zoa godness yesterday though, and tonight, after a good cleaning, I'll take pics of everything else. I'm thinking of getting rid of the lighting unit that's there and switching either to all T5s, or at the very least pimping out the current fixture. New Ballasts, new reflectors, new bulbs...the works.

Anyways, here's the zoa rock:
