Then you should try the 14k ones that i got off ebay. Not as blue as the phoenix ones i had but definately bluer than my 10k's. and only 15 bucks a pop to boot

Interesting. What are they called Darren?

They are the 14k ones by Aretimis. HobbyLights on ebay sells them and its a Canadian seller too so no customs hassle either.

Sigh!

My CBB has developed a liking for SPS!
The little bugger picked the flesh clean on two small colonies and has started on my large Pocci colony. He doesn't seem interested in the LPS or Zoas so I'm hoping he won't. If so, I guess I'll have to find a good FOWLR for him somewhere. Stupid fish: I've had him going on two years now and he was totally reef safe. Why are the cool fish the most trouble? Why not a Chromis?

Here's a pic of the little **** heading for some munchies.

ugh that sucks. one of the reasons why i have never tried a cbb before. theyre too unpredictable

Yeah, how disappointing. I was never able to keep acans or blastos in with mine. Guess even though "generally" regarded as "mostly reef safe" they are still butterflies in the end.

I feel your pain: my potters angel is doing a huge number of my gorgonians. I'm not looking forward to trying to catch her but when my new FOWLR is cycled she can move in with my butterflies there. Stupid fish! But oh so pretty....... <sigh>

Thanks Guys. I've lots of SPS in the 90g, and they grow better in there anyway, so it's not the end of the world if I can't have SPS in the big tank. I just hope he leaves the other corals alone. He's one of our favourites and I'd hate to lose him.
