    I couldn't decide....LED's or a $179 yuma. Haha JJ

    Hopefully I can achieve what I set out to do with them.

    HAHA!

    I hide purchases for my reef from my fiance. Fortunately, my SW tank is my office at work so she doesn't notice new additions for weeks.

    Be careful doing that.

    The RIP's in my signature are direct results of hiding and getting caught. I went from over 400G in systems to a single 90 and I had to practically beg to keep that.
    This 75 wouldn't be here if my wife wasn't involved in the project. :)

    A few new adds that followed me home from MACNA2011

    The Superman Digi looks orange/brown under my lights. In more blue light it pops a bright red. I have some some Cree 3w Royal Blues and a dimmable 48P driver to replace the T5 supps. Just need the aluminum and time to get them in the fixture.

    Purple Death paly's added to the zoa garden

    The first addition to the upcoming ricordea garden

    And Enigma the Mystery Wrasse. He was a steal at $45. Made the 4.5 hour trip in a bag and acclimated nicely. He was out eating tiggers almost right away and made me very happy when he pigged out on frozen MS last night and pellets this morning.

    Looking great!!! I was kind of terrified for you until he told you that he had Oxygen.

    Thanks Curt. I was worried too. It was real hard not to stop every hour and check on him. I even had thoughts of asking PetCo to rebag him when we hit Omaha.

    I really like him. I don't name fish unless they mean a lot to me and this one has already hit that mark.

    Thanks John. I really like the erratic purple/pink stripes over the head.

    Awesome new wrasse. I actually got a mystery wrasse not too long ago myself. Its definitely my favorite fish I have.. Really active and they eat lick pigs. Great buy too.. I'll just say I definitely didn't pay 45 for mine haha
