    Got the dry rock from John at reffcleaners.org It has been in th ewater since the 17th. The rock on th eleft end is stable it just doesnt look like it is. It is leaning to the back on another rock and it also has alot of super glue gel involved. I saw no other way to use that rock..I like it so its all good. My Cyano has obviously came back. John is sending me some help with that. There is no fuge or sump yet. My next buy will be halide lights next week then go from there. I figure in a few month's I can start adding coral's and stuff....thnx for looking

    That would be killer.. !!
    I like your rockwork.. Tanks going to look really good.. You're not going to have a heat problem with your lights, are you..? You may want to check on T5's, I think they run much cooler..
    Is this a new tank.? Or did you redoing the tank you had..?
    Anyway, Looks really good..

    Good Luck, Larry

    it is a new tank (been up since january) and as for the heat factor cant I just raise the lights higher and box em in with wood and leave the back open and .... t-5s would be killer but the other are cheaper. so I am kinda stumped. I put alot of artifacts on ebay I will wait and see how they sell and go from there but funds are limited....Will t-5s do hard corals in a 55...?...?...?

    hey Coldshot, missed this thread at weekend - thats looking well cool

    T5s - I have 6 x 80 watt over my 5ft tank and was informed by some knowledgable people on this site, when I 1st joined that It was good enough even for some SPS species
    Montis, and even Acros where mentioned

    Not sure what T5s your looking into , but thought the above information may help

    also - I know this is off thread, but what exactly are the Indian afterfacts you sell? I am just interested , hope you dont mind
