If you were following the thread "Question regarding LED Lighting", you have seen the light for this tank.
It is SOOOOOO SWEEEEET!!!!
Here are a couple pics
and video
In the video I started with both the white and blue lights turned down on low. I turned the whites up all the way and then I turned the blues up all they way and then turned the whites down all the way, thats when it got REALLY blue, and then turned the blue lights back down all the way. There is alot of ability to change the color of the lighting on this.

That light is AWSOME!!! talk about watts per gallon!! i really like the black sand in there, i think its going to "set off" the zoas under the actinics!

Patients...everyone always say to go slow!... I'll have something in it this weekend. I will have to play with my camera and see if I can get some decent pics from it.

Okay, here are a few pics. Just the two zoas in there for now. I want to take some time with this and get the zoas in that I really want in there. Not alot of room so I am going to pick and choose what is going in there and where. The little rock, well its actually a shell, with the red ones on it is not staying. It was just a text subject before I put my Sticky Punch PE's in.
Here is also a list of what is tentatively planned to go in.

Miami Vice
Fruit Loops
Seattle Seahawks
Nightmares
Purple Hornets
Red Hornets
Blue Hornets
Blue Steels
LA Lakers
Nuclear Greens
Purple Death
Mean Greens
Teal Rings
King Midas
Spiderman
Raptor's Rainbow
Purple Orchid Rainbow
Sour apples
Speckled Grape
Tubbs Blue

Stardust People Eaters
Ding Dang PE’s
Hawaiian Sticky Punch

There is also one lonely snail....for now.

[IPisces]

You really have to see this in person. I just cant seem to get the color in pictures. They all seem to be washed out. In person the colors are SOOOOOO much prettier!

 

[Somethings Fishy]

Thanks,
I will be keeping and eye out for others, but they will have to be colorful. I have a lot of others that might possibly go in, like some no name teal ones I have.

OH, I almost forgot my SunnyD's

Well, I got up this morning and went to turn the lights on on the tank, and noticed both frags of zoas have been moved. Now I know that little snail didnt do it. Cant imagine the flow got stronger overnight and moved them. So I turned the lights on and much to my surprise, what went scurrying across the rock and then under it, was a little crab. He has been in there all this time and I didnt know it. I guess this is his tank and he did a little rearranging last night. I didnt see him long enough to tell if it was an emerald or a rock crab. Looked like a light brown colored emerald from what I saw, but either way, hes okay for now.

Sounds like a kill the crab thread part 2! Just don't get any pointers from ntswift :lol:

Hey Lorrie, really coming together nicely now and will have to make time for a visit next time over to our Pt. No Pt. place. I'm sure its spectacular in person and will see if I can find something you do not already have coral/zoa-wise to add.

Cheers, Todd

Your all definately welcome to stop by anytime.
And thanks for the offer. We can trade. I'll send you home with a few frags, I'm sure.

I got home tonight and turned out the lights on the tank. Waited an hour or so and went in and turned the lights on and caught the little guy trying to pull the zoa frag behind the rock. LOL....He's going to be a character. It is a rock crab too, so he will have to go at some point. Anyone wants him let me know. His shell is probably 3/4" wide. Still a little guy.
Oh I glued down the one frag. The red ones are still loose. I'll let him play with those for a while.
