    Very nice!
    Lighting spectrum looks tops!
    Is there a big difference with the new lights?

    Hey Matt! Yeah, definitely, for reef, I would really recommend having at least 3 LED strips. It makes the corals so much happier! lol

    oh okaaaaay, i'll post so you can add a new post with all the goodies you got at the store today! :) love the pictures of the little porcelain crab. btw, i'm a great speller and all but i could never spell porcelain correctly until i met those anemone crabs. hahhh lame i know.

    ps - coco worm looks great too! fun fact: james cameron was inspired by the coco worms he saw while he was on his deep sea adventures during his MIA status (source: TED Talks & James Cameron) and he used this inspiration while creating avatar. remember those plants on pandora? yeah.
