    You can't see it (hood is in the way). I'll get a picture of it unless i forget;). The 2nd compartment of the bakpak pretty much is my sump- heater, carbon, other stuff. It used to be a mini fuge acutally.

    Just arrived. The bag is cold. It's also a black bag (can't see it). I hope it's ok.

    Here's the wilsoni. It's a TON more red in person.

    The seller said it would be 3.5-4inches. That is a quarter next to it....

    Ya. I was pretty T.Oed.

    Thanks. :) I just re-did the aquascape of the right "mound." I'll need to get a picture soon.

    My tiger tail cuc split! I have about 20" of cucumber in a 55.:eek: The sky hasn't fallen... yet.

    I just bought t5's from DIYreef last night. fulham WH ballast, 2 ATI blue+, 2 ATI blue specials, and aquatinic reflectors. I can't wait until they come. I'll get to give my VHOs the boot.

    It's official. I'm 100% t5. Most things it made the color really pop (reds, oranges and greens.) But everything purple looks more brown. The s. wilsoni is a very bright red/orange.

    I'm getting very frustrated by my camera. Almost none of the color comes through. It makes everything grayer and more blue.

    The heliofungia (which I just sold) is a bright florescent green in person. 'excuse the dirty sand.
