    my branching hammer

    pic 1=5/20/09 1 head
    pic 2=8/409 4 heads
    pic 3=12/509 8 heads

    some time this summer, my clownfish claimed the hammer as its own and has been unseperable every since.

    It is good to see everything flourishing. If I may ask, tell me all your bulbs and exactly what they are. The reason I am asking is because my Toadstool under regular bulbs looked like this;

    Then after some time under T5s it looked like this; Left side of tank;

    After about 8 mos. of it not doing well I took it out and put in my Biocube under standard compacts and it now looks like this;

    So I am asking those whose Toadstools look good what lights they use. Thanks.

    I have T5s and mine is at the very bottom of my tank. It's doing good granted it's just a baby and only about 1.5" across.
