Nice set up. Everything looks very happy:mrgreen:

[Myka]

Thanks everyone! :D I'm going to do a complete renovation in there soon here. Hopefully it'll look better. My Giesemann T5s really yellow out when they get older too. ;(

That bright white rock is in there getting the Xenia to transfer onto it. Xenia is being banned.

Very nice. The lighting is a "Glo" unit?

Yep, Hagen Glo T5 strip. This one here:

I have Giesemann bulbs in the Glo strip though. One Pure Actinic, and one Midday. My only complaint is that it is a single sucky reflector, and there is not enough room to fit the Sunlight Supply Tek reflectors onto the bulbs (I tried).

The tank is actually whiter/bluer than the photo shows. Turns out I didn't have any carbon running for the last 2 months. Ooops. I should take a new pic now that I have carbon running again. Show the difference. HAHA!

[Myka]

Ooops, it's a Hector's Goby that I have, not a Randall's Goby!!! Errg...I always call him a Randall.

On a side note...my aquascaping sucks. I just have my rocks placed to make as many places for corals as possible. I ripped all my rocks out (they're "cooking" in a bin for a couple months), so hopefully I can figure out a better layout wen I put them back in.
