I think Im gonna pass one the GSP, Danny.......but thanks for the offer (I think)....





so, as some of you may or may not know, I have an acan eating sexy shrimp *wonders if they taste like popcorn shrimp*.....not sure what to do about it......it only damaged two frags and has since left the other acans (and blastos) alone.....Ive made the effort to feed the tank a little heavier in hopes of curbing the little buggers appetite.....

I bumped up the lighting a little as well.....I traded Mikey some frags for my "glo" fixture back.... so now there are 4- 24w bulbs over the tank.....bulbs are 2 aquascience duos, KZ "new gen" and a Giessemann Actinic+........made a little difference to the color.....I think I like it

All pruned...looks great and I like the light color. Looks like a nice little spot for all those frags! Surely they will grow well for you in there! As for the sexies...take them back! Would hate to see those awesome acans and blastos destroyed! You have some beautiful pieces in there! Or......better yet...keep the sexies and donate those beautiful acans and blastos to a special friend!
Thanks again for the macro!

I added a couple things to the anti-pony tank.......a tri-color fairy wrasse and a "yasha hase" goby.......both of the newbies have been rather shy and I havnt been able to get any decent pics, so I will fill the void with some coral shots

Those are some awesome pics Doug....Can't wait to see that tank in person...

As usual your tank look great. as for the sexiesihave a tank for them

AND WHATS UP WITHT HE CAPTION CHANGE. I just noticed that now you are just plain " Reef Addicted". i liked the old caption better.

I posted this in the big tank journal but will post it here too......Ive stopped dosing "eisen concentrate"(iron) to the system........I need to try and turn this tank back into the mini-display that it was intended to be........not a refugium......I hope that starving the system of iron will at the very least slow the growth a little....

on another note .......I decided that I didnt really like the color I was getting from the bulb combo I was running before.......so I changed everything out.........

heres what the tank looked like before with two aquascience duos 1 (old) "KZ "new gen", and a Giessemann "actinic+"



and heres the tank after with 2 KZ "superblues", a new KZ "new gen" and a Geissemann "aquablue+"

A whack o pics ( two different cameras)

It definitely looks bluer. What are your thoughts (visual perspective) on the bulb change. What changes has it made to the coloring of your acan colonies.
