Looking good!

Probably in here but... why does the light bracket have the 4 legs?

I'm going to attach VHO's to the legs. The VHO lighting is still on my 90 gallon tank.

Christy, why don't you just put some flat bar between the legs on each end then you can drill mounting holes in the flatbar and move your VHO in towards the center a bit. then it won't be shining through the eurobrace. easy quick fix for your problem.

Yeah, the VHO bulbs also have reflectors in them so I was thinking I could always tilt them on more of an angle than straight down. I'll have to scope it out once I get all the lumenarcs set up.

Finally done!!





Everyone is moved successfully except for a few snails, the powder blue tang and the raccoon butterfly. Both fish will be finding a new home. The PBT has become very aggressive lately with the addition of a lavender tang and I've decided that I will likely add another one but it will be the last fish I add. Hopefully Poontang will take him, if not he might reside in my sump for awhile. I'm hoping to pawn the raccoon off on Marie as she was interested in having him do a bit of cleaning in one of her tanks. He did a wonderful job of ridding my tank of aiptasia and majanos before moving on to zoos (lucky just the fugly ones) blastos, acans and ricordeas. The snails are just in there because there isn't much to eat in the new tank and because I had to quit before I fell over. My back isn't a happy camper.

Tomorrow its epic frag mounting time, time to unload those frag racks

Looks good! But you can't call it a night before you post a picture of the lavender.
