    Did a show. Bunch of guys on another forum that deals with explosives get together every year to have fun.

    Spent literally all day wiring and fusing for a very nice 50 minute show.

    All legal for those that are wondering.

    Small update:

    Fixed the leaking return.
    Received and installed my new 250W halides. ARO electronic ballasts and Ushio 10Ks
    The reflectors and Ushios are just temporary. I have a much different setup in mind.

    Did some comparisons on the Hamilton 10K and the Ushio 10K, ended up liking the Ushio better. You can see the difference in the pics. Hamiltons on the left. Both bulbs are too yellow for my taste. Will be installing SPS bulbs when I build my new hood.


    Got a few new fish this weekend.
    Got a Cleanup crew on the way.
    Reef Empire has something waiting for me at the house too.



    For some odd reason, I can't get pics to upload. Will keep trying.

    Wish I could. That is a colony size frag that I got off a huge colony at Aquarium Wholesale in Kansas City. He had no idea what it was, but it is beautiful.

    FTS just for the heck of it.

    Very nice, I bet you can't wait for those frags to grow out into colonies. What skimmer are you running?

    I am running a Euro Reef BBE 180. It is an amazing skimmer. Makes me sick to my stomach every time I empty it.
