so i pulled the old workhorse 7 out of the fixture i put the radium in and the 2 pc bulbs were just sitting there doing nothing.. they are a 454 and a 50/50,uvl with internal reflectors.. I just draped them over the glass to see how i like them with the radium and i think they might stay.
that is until i get some end caps and new t5 bulbs to put in instead. I need to clean up the old pc reflectors and re bend them a bit for t-5s as well. my only wonder... with these 1-1.5 year old bulbs will my sps color up more or brown out more? I guess just try it for a few weeks and see eh? sure whats another 192W of electricity/light seeping into my tank going to do... heh break the wallet?

I went away for 2 days over the weekend and came home to most of my chalice fraglets dead or having unexplainable damage.
Today I was bagging up some frags to help pay for a skimmer and I see my buddy, the GF's must have orange coloured Protoreaster nodosus right on top of the one untouched frag,.. green eye green rim that was growing slow and steady since i got it at fragfest. guess what is now half eaten? can we all guess who is now a resident of the reffugieum/sump area. The gf's response? "Can I just start a tank to put him and a few seahorses in then?". she then points at a 14 gallon cube that had some freshwater fish in it till a few days ago. "that would be big enough wouldn't it?" I just need to remember not to let her talk me into putting things in my tank. on a side note, new to me skimz sm161 is bubbling away.. I do not have it quite dialled in yet but im sure thats a few week long constant tweaking event. I only fully lost one challice. is 95 percent gonner, and the other 3 should recover with big dead spots. the insanity never ends
