    Hey thanks -

    He really is beautiful, especially when he puts his sails up.

    When i got him he wasn't that bright, and kinda orangy. I tried feeding newlife spectrum foods marine formula from bulk reef supply and now he is bright bright yellow.

    I feed this food and mysis shrimp once or twice a week for the fish. Coloring on all of my fish has greatly improved just as they promised MARINE FORMULA 1MM 150g Bulk Reef Supply

    Just added my CuC "booster shot"...

    I am probably going to do one more of these minus the pods and the mangroves in like 3 months after i see how this one goes.

    Here is what i added:

    40 Dwarf Cerith
    11 Nassarius Vibex
    10 Florida Cerith
    10 Blue Leg Hermit Crab*
    2 Fuzzy Chiton*
    6 Limpets*
    10 Nerite Snails (Large)
    1 5 Red Mangroves
    1 Reef Pods

    Almost everything is already moving around. Chitons still havent moved though...

    Icecap SLR

    I installed my Icecap SLRs last night.

    There is definitely a noticeable difference in the way everything looks. The light is going down into the tank instead of all around.

    Obviously this was the idea ... I got mine from Aquacave for about 90 bucks shipped

    So now i have 7 bulbs over my tank:

    2 G-mann Aquablue + w/SLR's
    2 G-mann Actinic + w/SLR's
    2 420 28W actinics
    1 10K 28 w BULB

    total of 300W t5
