    Got my lights in today. Nova Extreme SLR 24". Possibly get an SPS or two. I like Acros and Montis. I will get some pictures of the light later today. It won't be on the tank until this weekend. Me and the tank are 30 minutes away. ;D

    Pictures of the T5HO fixture

    The picture with the light on is just seconds after put on the chair. The light makes it look like I turned out all the lights in the room

    Headed home today to set up the 10 gallon. Probably pick up a few extra pounds of live rock as well.

    Pictures!

    So I got everything moved in and seems happy except for the pissed off torch. He was getting too much flow where he was so I snapped him off his super glue and he went flying into the glass and losing a couple of tips off its tentacles. :p The purple dottyback seems like he has adjusted fairly well and found a new hole to call home. Also got a new piece of rock with lots of nooks and crannies.

    Careful with that fixture. I have one in my garage. 3 ballasts broke with the fan on.

    that's quite odd. Haven't heard of the Nova Extremes having ballast problems. I will keep an eye out for it just in case.

    I wish that Saltwaterguy kid was still around to see this one lol. This is a very nice >10 gallon set up I would recommend a cleaner shrimp or a coral beauty shrimp.

    Wish I could get a cleaner shrimp in there. I got a Purple Dottyback and it killed the Peppermint shrimp. :-[
