Whoa Doug, not been a good week at all! So sorry about the wrasse. Maybe just hit the floor too hard? Best of luck on the aquascape repair.

Sorry to hear about the Wrasse Doug. Ours did the same onto the hardwood floor. I gave him a 9.5 out of 10.0 as he did a double half twist and smacked and stuck (with no bounce).......it took him a couple of days but he recovered. I think we got very lucky.

Hard wood floor and flying 6 feet. A small fish like that could have bonked his head pretty good and caused the death.

Wow...must have been bored.

Thanks for the comforting words guys and gals. Ive been feeling alot better about the tank...Kevin installed the new ballast in my light for me so I can now look at the tank without noticing the lack of light. I even managed to fight off the urge to console myself with a "big ticket" splurge buy for the tank.

I did another bulb swap though... so here is the new spread.
front giesemann actinic+
KZ new gen
aquascience blue
giesemann blue+
kz new gen
back giesemann actinic+

Heres how it looks



and some shots of the tank etc.

That blonde naso is larger than I expected... but looks great! How come there is a dark spot on that one bulb?

Um... mild camera glitch? I was having a heck of a time getting it to focus.
