    Nice tank, Tropical Addict. I like the interesting 'scape. Good shot of the hammer.

    Thank's guys! I've added quite a few new frags over the last couple of weeks. I'm getting quite addicted to ORA. I really like their corals and clams.

    How are your Blasto's doing? I have 1 that i had for 6 months that went through my semi tank crash, and has always looked fine, but has still yet to multiply. Did you get yours with 3 heads or did it split after time?

    Fantastic looking!. Couple questions. What brand bulbs are you using and what kind of salt caused the crash!?

    My blasto's did fine during the crash. They surprisingly opened fine every day. I got them as three heads. I hear it takes quite awhile for them to spilt.

    They're the 250w pheonix 14k's, and I LOVE them! I got them from SOS lighting for a farely cheap price. My corals seem to really like them as well. As for the salt I believe it was Tropic Marin. I had never had a problem with them before. My husband and I used their salt mix for everything. But after the crashing of our tanks we haven't bought it since. I know quite a few people who use it and still really like it.

    Thanks. Interesting. I have Coralvue 14k and from your pics your bulbs burn much less blue in color. Are those pics with any other lighting? Do you have a picture with the MH 14k running only?
    Thanks!
