    Thanks for the compliment. I currently have 2 clams that are thriving. The yellow tang is above the squamosa and the other is up high on the rock just off center to the right. That one is a maxima, you can see the blue color of his mantle.

    That's great that they are doing well! Makes me feel much more safe trying for a Maxima up high here in a little bit.

    Thanks Matt. I really appreciate the compliments. Sometimes I get tired of looking at it but then someone gives me a compliment and it really helps me look at it again and realize it does look pretty good, but there is always room for improvement.

    How often do you guys change your bulbs out and do you guys stick with the same brand bulbs?

    Heres my thread from when I bought my new Odyssea light. No modifications yet. but they are coming. I have not been able to find the spectrum for the Odyssea bulbs i know that a change is coming. I am going to change the MH to Phoenix 14k. They are a better bulb and will give my reef better, healthier growth. So if you are planing on buying a new fixture before you buy add in what it would cost for the upgrades like the ballast and the lights and you might find out the one thats a couple hundred more might be better in the long run. For the price I love my new light fixture.
