It really surprised me on the top right corner blue stag taking up so much light. 950 in my mind is rather on the high side and for the brown stag with blue tips, some branches just to the right is still brownish but where its directly under the light is almost all baby blue. looks amazing.

BTW my AI's time table starts at 10am from 10% ramp up to 50% by 12pm, from 12 goes up to 80% at 1pm, 1pm to 5 pm is full blast at 100% then slowly ramp down to 11 pm for night mode. All lights are controlled by profilux. I do use cloud cover, coolest thing ever, but I do not use thunder storm since it scares the poop out of my fishes.

I just found this online, so I guess the guy is okay.
Safe shrimps and crabs:
Symbiotic shrimp from the family Palaemondidae (Anchistus, Conchodytes and Paranchistus) or small crabs such as Pea Crabs of the family Pinnotheridae may be visible through the inhalant siphon in larger clams.
These animals live inside the clam and do not harm it, although what they eat and what they do for the clam is unknown.

Default Need some input on expensive wrasses!!!

So story goes like this...

I was at the local fish store and saw a nice looking wrasse, thinking nothing of it I asked for the price. $49 was the reply from a empolyee. I got it bagged up and started heading home. Just before I arrived home I got a call from the lfs telling me that wrasse was a rare rhomboid wrasse they had sold to me by mistake.

Long story short, I took the fish back to the lfs. I did decide to do more research on that particular fish since I just been going on a wrasse binge. I realize how much I like this fish, but the issue is the price has increased tremendously to a whopping $599 for the pair. I can't say that I like the price but it is a nice pair of fish.

So, question is should I or shouldn't I.....

Ask yourself when will you see such fine quality fish again and if $ is no object and the wife likes the fish too then you should keep them.
