WOW Kien well deserved man, I will have to stop by one day for a frag swap so I can see it in person!

Every Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at midnight there is a lightening storm (white LEDs flash randomly).

Never thought of doing something like that, is the hardware easy to set up?

Thanks Levi :-) Well, yes, I suppose it was easy considering I just plugged it into my controller (Profilux) and said "make lightening, thank you" It is a special light that is controlled by the controller, which also controls the sunrise/sunset (red LEDS) and moon phases (blue LEDs). I'm pretty sure there is no benefit whatsoever to the tank but it is hell-a-cool to sit and watch

Congratulations on being awarded FTOTM Kien, your reef looks great with lots of fabulous corals. Great quality on the pictures as well. Nicely done!

Congratulations Kien!

The photography is excellent and does a great job of showing your healthy and beautiful livestock!

I don't know if you it was mentioned in the write-up but what camera did you use for the photos?

Thanks! For the underwater shots (most of the top down ones) I use an Olympus Stylus Tough underwater camera. For all others I use the Canon 5D Mark II with the 100mm macro lens :-)

Congratulations Kien! A top notch feature. I should point out though you forgot to add in the clams to your live stock inventory . I must say by the looks in pic thats one of the healthest looking Borbonius Anthius I've seen. How long have you managed to keep your Linckia's ? Great job !
