btw, very envious of the new light......sweet units from what I've read.....

Yeah Doug, this is the problem I'm facing: I need enough blue to offset the yellow glare of the 10K MH but not so much that the tank is blue without the MH. When it becomes time to change the MH's I can go with 14K or 15K and then no problem.

My CBB has to be the dumbest fish I've ever seen. He's too stupid to be afraid of the bigger, badder fishes and doesn't hesitate to steal food right from the mouths of the Tuskfish or Lunare Wrasse. Tonight at feeding time he topped himself though. He was chasing a piece of mysis and it went down the overflow. So there he sat and waited for it to come out again. Meanwhile there are mysis swirling all around his head and the other fishes are gobbling it up. Duhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Here's a pic of "Dumbass"

My Kole does laps through a cave and up over the rock. Always goes the same direction and comes out upside down. Makes me wonder sometimes how these guys survive in the wild.
