    Sorry for the blurry pics!! They didn't turn out as well as I hoped with the actinics... I will stick with the daylight pics from now on!

    Thanks for viewing!!

    Thanks guys!! It is interesting to see how in a little over two months some of the pieces are EXPLODING!! I will continue to keep a log until the tank is overrun!!!

    Its funny since I have the flame that likes to nibble the acros none of their polyps come out during the day but at night it is an explosion of polyps.
    I have also noticed as I have been staying up w/ my crabby daughter, that at night there is so much zooplankton physically swimming in the water column its amazing!!
    I am used to seeing copepods and amphipods on the substrate but at night they zip through the tank, I am trying to get footage of it but to no luck...

    Thanks for viewing and the compliments!!

    peredhil, I have replied via PM....

    I don't have one, for various reasons but if I can grow SPS just about anywhere I'm sure the anemone will be fine. I've kept anemones under PC and I even have a bubble tip at work under two 36" NO Coralife T5s.

    It just depends on the anemone..

    Thanks for the questions and compliments!!
