    Depends, I think it would be slightly hard to mount or retro some moonlights into that fixture you showed me...

    These come with brackets, you could hang them on wire between the center and outer PAR30 pendants. It says it will cover 3ft of tank. R2 Solutions DUAL Extreme Moonlight 4 3/8" LED Tube - AquaCave

    You could also do the RapidLED 4 LED moonlight kit with 1.1"x18" heatsink and wire for 33.25, or 43.25 with a hanging kit.
    All you would need is a soldering gun since the kit comes with thermal pads.

    Thanks for the ID. No, they are not my zoas. I saw them on another forum and would like to get some of them.

    They're pretty common at swaps, lots of people have them. They fetch between 15-35$ for 1-3 polyps from what I have seen.

    Ooooh. Sunny d's. I wish mine looked that good. lol They kinda look bland now under my LEDs.


    IMO I dont think they are rastas. The skirt is a little bit longer and the coloration seems slightly different. I still see them selling for around 40-50 bucks a head though some places!? Beautiful zoas though.


    Heres another picture to go off of.

    Well there are too any reflections on the tank with the sun shining in the room, so I will surely have a FTS up this evening.

    I can guarantee those are Rastas. Rastas have a long thin sparse skirt just like Seano's pic. The ones you posted have a skirt like eagle eyes, very thick and short rounded tentacles.

    By the way, while reading through your thread I noticed your Slim Skim Nano still has some sort of sticker on the front. I think its supposed to be removed since I've never seen it before on anyone's pics of them but please tell me if I'm wrong. Also, just wondering, why do you have it in the DT and not the sump?

    hahaha... I have been thinking about removing it so you don't notice it in the tank as much.

    Yeah, about that. The glass I that installed into my sump, I had it purchased with a different sump layout in mind (was going to run a fuge and skimmer with return in middle). The way I have it now is much simpler. I am trying to find something I can use to fill the space (see photo below) to raise the water level so it meets the top of that baffle. Right now the water isn't high enough for the skimmer to work efficiently. Any ideas?

    The tank has more of a purple/uv hue, overall. But that first pic in the post above is really close to what it looks like.
