    Hoping so LOL. I have put in a couple of requests to him. More than likely it will be a month before I can get my hands on one.

    Yes sir, from Elite Aquatics. Looking forward to seeing how the Hooded & Laboutei react...

    Brett. I too have the EA box I'm dying to try out. I would imagine the Laboutei would be the one to worry about. I'm a little worried with my solarensis and cyanopleura but hey thats why I have a box.

    Nice, hoping he finds me one soon! It took my Hooded a week before it would not chase the Laboutei around, so could be either, or both! For you, my money would be on the solorensis. And yes, I am also psyched to try out the box, weird as that is...

    Finally finished installing the new lighting! I will post up a couple pictures of the install tomorrow, but for now, here is the difference between the old (6 bulb X 96W PC):

    And new (3 120W Evergrow D120 fixtures):

    Corals and fish all have some pop back :) I dialed the blues back a little after I took this shot, but shows the comparison anyways. Went from over 600W down to probably under 300 right now.

    And yes, I still need to re-scape! I plan to do it tomorrow as I have a day off from work.
