Beautiful as usual Marie.

You know, the more I see of those new lights, the more I like them.

Which new lights does she have?

marie 10-13-2008 08:18 PM

I had a hamilton hood with 3 250w DE bulbs and 2 165w vhos. I kept the MH hqi ballasts but I'm now using lumenmax reflectors with xm 10k SE bulbs.
I lost the vhos but the single ended bulbs on hqi ballasts are easily twice as bright as the double ended ones and the colour of the xm bulbs are a nice white, I don't miss the vhos at all
With the new lights, a blue millie frag I got from Wendell in May has developed bright pink polyps (they were brown) and it has become my favourite coral in the tank. Unfortunately I can't get a good pic showing how pink the polyps really are

Beautiful as always marie :)


What is the grey/blue coral (looks like a digi? maybe? can't tell) in the last pic of the first post in front of the ph's?

I believe your talking about the staghorn acropora? It used to look like this last year but I severely pruned it back because it was blocking a lot of light and flow

It's amazing how much a tank can change in a year. Same angle now

Ah, yeah, that one. I like!

Lance 10-14-2008 03:43 AM

Oh good, there's Doofus. I didn't see him in any of the pics and was a little worried, but didn't want to ask.

marie 10-14-2008 03:55 AM

He's also in the first pic, kind of lurking in the shadows.

The fish I'm worried about is my foxface, he hasn't been acting normal since he finally lost the 2 year battle for supremacy with Doofus

How about a shot of your regal angel. I just love that fish....
