Small temporary upgrade until I can get around to buying my lights... I got a temporary Hamilton 250W mh (on loan

Thanks again Kev) tonight.. It is only a 10K bulb, but at least I can get some frags mounted and provide them with some better lighting.. I was forgetting what it was like to have a fully lit tank..

The end is actually more lit up than it appears in the pic.

When its fully set up this tank is going to look awesome. Looks good right now and its only at 2/3 strength.

Well with the loaner light hung and in place.. I was able to mount 7 frags that been sitting in my frag rack poorly lit and not getting the flow they needed.

Welcome to Stick-ville... 5/7 are just that!

Montipora Confusa:

Acropora Granulosa:

All 7 frags:

Finally starting to gain some trust from the 2 newbies in the tank, which helps get some better pics than I posted previously.

Missed the focus on this guy, but couldn't pass up sharing the pic..

And one more coral pic that I forgot earlier:

Man I love them fairy wrasses. I had a pair of bluesides in a small tank and lost them to jumping the same night. (Was away, tanksitter forgot to close the hatch in the canopy that night .. what are the odds! Boo urns.

)

But, on a happier note, yours has really exquisite purple colouration I don't think I've seen in Cirrhilabrus cyanopleura before. Very cool!

Thank Tony.. He is quite the character.. very curious! I can forsee a couple more wrasses in this tank I think.

Thanks guys!

I've been debating about adding a background to the tank. Either Blue or Black, but not sure yet. Any input?
