Hi Myka!
nice looking tank! I just switch to plusrite bulbs too (250w DE 14k), and really like the look they give! for now my corals seems to like them (it's just been almost 2weeks since I change).. I have 3 14k and 4T5s (2x 80w 60'' Actinic White et 2x 80w 60'' Fiji Purple) in a modified Odysea fixture. I search many forums about Plusrite bulbs and not many people are saying that they use them... will you post pics of your tank with the new lights? So people will see the diference?

Apologies if this info is in the thread somewhere .. where can one buy these plusrite lamps? Are they an ebay thing? (Sorry, just haven't heard of them before.)

Well I'm glad you're having some success with those frags Mark.
 Van-rookie: Make sure your tank is setup Jawfish friendly...they aren't the easiest fish to keep. Very prone to stress and jumping if they aren't comfortable with their habitat. josie: I tried to get a FTS when I first put the new bulbs in, but I couldn't get the settings right. I don't think I have a FTS with the old halides on - all my FTS are just with T5s since the halides were so ugly!!

Jawfish have always facinated me
 How deep is your sandbed and how coarse it it? I'd love to put some in my tank eventually. My sand was about 3 inches but it's blown around a bit so now I have some deep drifts and some shallow spots. I don't know if my sand is coarse enough for them though

Well, two of the Jawfish have been MIA for 2 days, but today I see a third one. He is not in good condition. He has lost the bottom portion of his jaw, and he is quite stressed. I'm not sure what happened to him, and I'm not sure he is going to make it.
 Albertan: My sand bed is 75% Caribsea Select, and 25% Caribsea Super Reef. It is 3-4" on each end of the tank where my rocks are laid out for good borrow building, and the center of the tank only has 1/2-1". I used live rock rubble to build small barriers to hold the sand up nice and deep on the ends.

I found the 4th Jawfish...as I suspected there are two sharing the big burrow. The one with the teeny little burrow in the crappy spot is still looking a bit stressed, but I think he will be ok. I dosed the QT (Banger & Perc) with PraziPro lastnight since the Perc had white stringy poo, and was looking stressed. He is looking better today, but not 100%. The Banger is looking a bit stressed today though, and didn't eat. Of course my fav fishes are sensitive species. :S
