Thanks man! Your tank looks awesome! The coral and anemones look great. How's the seahorse doing- does he get enough food? I want one but worry about their ability to contend for food.
As far as the lighting situation . . . I'm getting there. Thinking about maybe two 10.5" 150 watt MH hqi's that mount to the back and hang over the tank. Either that or the MH/t5 combo. Really not sure. The 260w could work, as shown by your great pics, as long as the width works. |

the seahorse has moved to another tank.. i think he finnaly got harrassed and he wasnt doing to good , so instead of having him there and let him die off i gave him my lfs for credit..i still see him every so often.. i have converted my 42 hex tank into saltwater so i got another one and put him there with about 4 gobies and 2 blennies and one scopas tang and false percula clown and a tomato clown.. he is doing great .. and im thinking of adding more so he can be with a group  . |

Sounds great about the 42 hex- glad you got another seahorse- they are sweet.
I am so close to sold on this MH/T5 unit. It seems like it will definitely work and i have some testimonials (as well as pics) that the unit is great and emits no heat: http://www.creativereefing.com/viewt...hp?p=9204#9204 |
