    I'll get some new photos up soon. Been a little busy. Coming up on four months with only one day off of work (and that was for a frag swap,lol)

    The big fish are all doing great. They all get along with the new Harlequin Tusk. Big Mamma's good, too. All of the corals are doing well under the LED's. Still getting awesome growth since the amphipods were nuked.

    OK, here's a bunch of reef pictures, with a couple of FTS's at the end showing the blue LED's. Everything is showing great response to the new lights.

    This first guy fell over onto a mushroom and was severely nuked, however, it's growing back at a fast rate.

    Thank you, lmr2o and thank you Vinny. For your kind words, more ugly Chinese box light pictures.

    Everything has adjusted well to the LED's except the ORA Red Goniopora, but it's starting to come around. I've had to raise the light to 15" above the water surface to get equal lighting as the six bulb TEK. The LED's have a deceiving amount of power.

    New corals from our reef club meeting.

    I had been looking for this one for a while.

    Two new Acan Lords, not fully open yet. Brings the total to 15 in the garden. The second one snagged a snail somehow.

    This guy has been recovering quickly after falling onto the mushroom. Don't know what he was thinking lol.

    Austrolomussa was bleached by the LED's. Caught it just in time. Looks kinda cool now.

    Dendro is getting thick.
