    i would think just a very low powered LED strip light would put a gorgeous ripple effect on the 300 gallon. without adding much light. it would look fantastic IMO.

    The LFS does the Prazi treatment for me and only sells them if they are in good condition, so that's a huge plus. This beat down was just a surprise to me. Thanks for the input.

    The LED PAR bulb in the ceiling fan looks awesome. ;D It does add a nice ripple effect over the rocks. Thanks!

    I don't do too many feeding videos, but some people asked, so here the triggers are being fed crayfish. The babies didn't know how to finish it off, so that one was fed to Big Mamma, also. It was a little too big for them. You get a better idea what the fish look like in a video rather than a picture.

    Cool video of Big Mamma. That crayfish does not stand a chance, at least it's quick.

    Found out the culprit is the Tomini Tang. The African Leopard went missing, and the tang is showing signs of aggression towards the Yellow Coris. Stupid tangs. :uzi:

    OK, so, I'm not completely sure it was the tang. The African Leopard reappeared a couple of days ago. A little skinny and tattered, but swimming and eating well. It looks as if there is some skin missing from around its mouth, and its teeth are misaligned. Not really sure what happened, but its alive and kicking.

    Sorry to hear about the issues.

    And dang it, here I was saying how well behaved and peaceful everyone's Tomini Tangs were, scratch that.
