I've seen this guy wandering around for a while in my 55 gal., thought I'd catch him on film, er...I mean compactflash. Shell is a nice iridescent...
1st pic from 5/22/08, second from 5/29/09. I know this isn't what the OP meant, but it is pretty dramatic :D
Removed the 2 6500k bulbs, added 2 150W Ushio 10,000k DE. Please excuse the glare, perhaps one of these days I'll get a pic at night :D
Coralline algae is spreading well. I first noticed it early last week, and have now sighted patches of the stuff on the front glass.
Canopy is complete (for now). 4x40W T12 (2 actinic, 2 6500k)

Thanks! She got her first fish inhabitants yesterday...a pair of ocellaris. No pics yet, maybe Monday.
Another pic. Switched out one of the lamps for a 6500K. I also traded a couple of rocks from the center for a couple from my tank at home. It's...

I'm pretty close to dumping my M58 ballasts on ebay and buying a pair of IceCap 175W & a pair of Iwasaki 15k's. I've got that combination on my 29...
I'll probably use the PFO parallel reflectors, adjusting my canopy dimensions to accommodate them.
Thanks, I'll try to take some more/better pics Monday. I haven't built the canopy, but I'm not afraid of the heat. There will be a 3.5-4" opening...
Rock finally came in a few months ago, and I got around to filling her up a couple of days ago! Sorry for the crappy phone camera pics.
Still no rock! Is anyone else waiting on an order of Fiji from Marco Rocks?
