That looks stellar man. Looks like the only way to grow is UP and OUT now. Good thing you have those pesky SPS in the zoaGarden eh?

The tyree sunset is m.danae and only encrusts. It would never plate out like that.

Plus I've never known a real sunset monti to come from any where but the original source south of the border. Basically rare to impossible to find in the wild.

Thanks Brett, I would lie and tell you I'm not addicted to sticks but that would be ridiculous... I'm REALLY addicted to sticks, almost rivals my addiction to the frilly circles .

You can play with the settings to make your tank entirely red or green, rather odd to see everything like that. In regards to daylight and actinic color, I'm simply blown away by what I see. The colors are just so much more intense, it's hard to describe but I hope to shoot some photos tomorrow.

Stopped by Ocean City in Calgary and he had 3 left, Devo and I had been talking about them and he decided to buy them on the spot there! The major reason for picking them up was the fixture we were using was EXTREMELY heavy with the internal ballasts, raising and lowering the lights was a pain. In addition to that the wire was fraying, I wasn't too worried but having a 150lb light crash onto my tank would not be fun.

I will shoot some photos tomorrow and detail the process, my step dad came downstairs in the evening and told me my tank looked like an acid trip . It's hard to explain the difference, the colors are just a whole whack load more vivid.

how would you rate the coverage on a tank the size of yours?......Ive been considering them but Im not sure three would be enough on a 84"x30" tank....big difference between 3 and 6 units...
