    yea im thinking about geting that LED moonlight strip, but i cant do it any time soon so im going to try to work with this one tomorrow to see what i can do to get it to cover the entire tank

    yea i hope they will improve, i have to do some LPS adjusting tomorrow right now my SPS and softies dont seem to be botherd by the change. As much as i love LPS i think i will not get anymore, its to hard to make them happy with the flow, before when it was just the MP they were thriving now since i added the hydro not so much, but i needed that extra flow so hopefully i can find a spot that they like. and i find SPS and softies much easier to please softies dont care about the high flow and the SPS love it

    PC just a idea for the moonlight... I know you have one of something already but I gotta tell you the R2 Solutions 4 3/8" LED tube is the bomb. Especially when you use the R2 controller. I have one on my tank and when it's in the full moon phase that one 4 3/8" long tube light the whole display up enough to make my GSP and zoa's come out. I think it's helped with growth. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bright light but a real eye pleasing blue. Just a thought. 1 tube and the controller would run ya about 50.00 + shipping.

    ohhh that's actually the same exact one that i have right now, i have the worst issues with the getting the holders to stay on, ive had to resort to velcro and that's somewhat holding it to the light

    the one i have is the one thats next to the controler

    been a long time since i posted in your thread lol

    everything is looking good :)

    love your acuascape :) funny how its always a darn hard to catch fish that makes us find the right aquascape.

    you should try a fish trap. they work wonders, although there is a risk you catch the wrong fish but you can always release and try again :)

    Super glue it. Just took 4 night pics with controller running the lights at 79%. Want to see them? can see the gsp and at least the yellow toadstool out basking in the moonlight. Maybe my Lunar Eclipse colony as well.
