    Wow!!!!! When the moon lights or actinics hit this thing, it glows!!!! Most excellent. If you look to the left, you can see the reflection of my kitchen (and my horribly over-noted fridge).

    I am constantly amazed with what I see.

    I get effects like that with my T5's and moonlights. The blue lights are cool, huh? They cause almost like a blacklight effect with certain things!

    That's flippin awesome! I'm more interested with the critters that come out at night...but that's pretty intense. Nighttime is when the bulldozer pistol shrimp goes to work, and when all the worms poke out. And of course my serpent star comes out to play. I'm gonna try and "hand" feed that guy sometime...with tongs.

    That's a cool picture! I like the fridge. Food for me? :D

    Hey! Nice shot! Indeed, Turbinaria reniformis contains some pretty cool fluorescent proteins :)
